- LINKS FOR PARTS ON TRUCK BELOW! This is a documentation of my trip from Colorado to Michigan. This should inspire some confidence to drive your older trucks and cars across the US even if you are loaded down and or hauling some weight. I moved back to Michigan to be closer to family.

I miss them 2.50 a gallon days
Just found your channel. I really like your content. I'll be looking for more videos!
I'm glad you found the channel. I am starting to post again, hopefully you stick around my man.
Love the truck man. Hopefully isee some more soon
Thanks for sticking around!
We LOVE the tan interior.
We bought our 11 Ranger XLT super cab 4X4 with a 4.0 V6, automatic, LSD, tow pkg, in 2019. It had only 20K miles and bought it off of the original owner (70 yr old man). We bought it for $4K under KBB.
We really wanted either a white or a red Ranger with tan interior.
We don’t like depressing Grey or death black colors, but our Ranger is silver (I had it 2 toned with silver over red metallic). I then had it reupholstered in colors to match the exterior paint.
It’s mainly used for work around our property.
Everyone on the planet that has a silver truck and has it 2 toned always does the lower section in depressing grey or death black.
I’ve gotten a LOT of complements for the silver over red.
2 individuals have offered me $25K for the truck.
When we bought it in 19 the KBB was $22K. Now after Covid it books out for $25K.
The truck now has only 35K pampered miles.
Yes we work the pickup, but we don’t abuse it.
We are in our 50s and plan on having our family fight over it when we’re dead and gone.
Thats amazing. I bet silver over red looks so good! I hope the truck treats you guys well!
@@DoinitwithDoug This is our 4th Ranger. They’re very durable and capable midsize pickups.
Have to get a new vehicle since my car just got totalled and your videos definitely made me like rangers so much more. Getting an orange lifted ranger this week :)
Glad to hear man, they are great little trucks. Sorry to hear about your car, hope everyone is okay.
Those Rangers are damn near indestructible. Had a few in my day.
They really are.
Made it all the way through. Badass little truck
It sure is! Thank you for watching.
You scared me at the second Gas Pump because my Town has just Gas and Diesel and they have seperate handles so When you put green one in I Got scared then realized it was a select one lol
What? I didnt tell you it was a diesel? lol Just kidding.
Great video Doug
Glad you enjoyed it
Didn’t think this was boring at all. Actually enjoyed the drive scenery and music. So much so that I subscribed 😆
You the man. Thank you for the sub.
Watched all your videos, but what happened to making more..

i was thinking the same thing when he said that it was boring
Dang man, thanks!
Just did a long road trip with my 07! And to CO no less!
They do pretty good on long trips.

Hey, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It means a lot that you stuck around through the whole video. Its subscribers like you that make it all worth it. Thank you.
Hey man great video, I’m thinking of buying a Ford ranger
Thanks
They are very dependable. Id go for it.
@@DoinitwithDoug hey man I have another question, I just bought a Ford ranger today and was wondering what kind of bumper you have on yours, you probably mentioned it but I may have missed it.
Thanks
amzn.to/3HvqipN
Love your ranger build man plan on getting one myself
You should!
I made it out this far but that was a sick video I'm from Colorado and I love the drives out here
just got a 2003 ford ranger good to know it's a good truck and can get me where I'm going. also hope you had fun with your family .
They are good trucks. It is so nice to be around family again. Thank you for watching!
I saw this truck on Facebook Mp in my area too. Is a clean truck
Thank you, appreciate it a lot.
Also made it to the end of the video, so I expect my message, hope you're back soon, this channel is awesome
Sorry for the late reply. Thank you for being around for me and this channel. I am so glad you find some sort of value in this. Its so meaningful to me.
@@DoinitwithDoug All good man! Hope you got more stuff coming. Not a ton of videos out on these trucks. All the content seems to be on the current generation.
Wish could’ve linked up in co..
Oh damn buddy, sorry I had no idea.
Can’t wait til you make some new ranger content take care man
I haul my firebird to the dragstrip with my '97 ranger. Trailer and all it's probably 3600lbs. Pulls it just fine. Did great on the trip from North GA to central Florida too. Course the ol' 5.0 swap doesn't hurt...
Dang, pictures or didnt happen lol
Aren't rangers just the best they're not overly powerful or fuel efficient but they just take whatever you throw at them and don't care. Still waiting to see if you do the Jeep Wrangler rear bumper with tire carrier upgrade thinking about doing it on mine but wouldn't mind watching somebody else do it first.
I really want to, but I am also thinking about building a bed cage and making it fun for the dunes. Havent decided yet. lol
Subbed on Both My Accounts Absaloutly love your channel excited to see more!
What a ledgend.
Are you coming back?
I am very soon!
Ayy I’m in Michigan! Just moved here
Nice! Where about?
@@DoinitwithDoug metro detroit area!
I like the time lapse. Did you use your phone to create those shots?
Glad you made it safe. What sort of fuel economy did the Ranger get?
I just got a GoPro 9 black they did all the time lapse.
I averaged around 16, but I was running like 75 mph the whole way. Not bad in my opinion. Thank you for the well wishes.
@@DoinitwithDoug Very cool way to capture the scenery you drove through.
Watched the whole thing just lusting after your ranger.
If I'd known he was in Colorado I would've tried to meet up and make a video with our rangers! Would've been a fun collab
It sure would have been. Damn.
Made it to 7:30
Thank you more than you know!
Hey great vid, new subscriber deserved. I thought you had a couple million subs you deserve wayyyy more!!!
What camera's you use? looks great
Get some chuckles out of your vids, any chance you watch Derek @ Vice grip garage on yt by any chance? I think you're using some of his lines if you do 🤣
Thank you! I am glad that you enjoy the content. It means more than you know.
I love Derek @Vicegripgarage. We are both from the northern part of the midwest where a lot of these things I say come from. He defiantly inspires me though.
Anybody else want to see that????!!
What he said! lol
What dash cam did you use for footage?
It was actually a go pro hero 9. Here is a link, its pretty amazing actually. amzn.to/3Jm8peG
I not only made it to "that point" in the video, I actually watched the whole thing, lol. I love travel videos, so I certainly didn't find it boring. My only question is... When are we going to see the updates on the truck bed camping setup? That's what I'm really interested in.
Thank you for watching my man. I sold the truck but I am going to be building a new one very soon! Sick around.
Just wondering, do you still have the ranger?
I did sell this ranger but I am about to start a new project ranger here on the channel.
He gone
Wrong.... ;)
I live in Des Moines area, and just picked up a 2011 Ford Ranger with no rust. Has 86k miles on it. How many miles does yours have? Has it been very reliable and do you still have it? Great video!
I sold this one, but I have had 3 others. This one had 180,000 when I sold it. Dead reliable. The others had over 200k. They are great trucks, but just like anything it will last as long as you take good care of it.
I saw this on the ol Facebook marketplace I don't know how I found this tho, if only I had money
Nice dude!!!
Where did you get your bumper
amzn.to/402OarZ
@@DoinitwithDoug where did you get the front bumper buddy
Did you ever find a boot for the explorer center console? Very interested to see the fill interior done
I never did.
I Life in germany And have the Same Pickup. Were you have the Hardtop? I dient find Someone in Germany.
It came on the truck. I used to live in Germany, loved it there.
What size tires they look nice
32x11.5x15 on 15x10 -44 offset rims. Thank you for being here!
Got a 92 ranger 4.0 2wd, any tips or suggestions?
Make sure your cruise control works, I did a trans flush before I left, and tire pressure is super important. Also torque your wheels for peace of mind. :) Good luck.
How many miles does the ranger have?
183,000 after the trip.
This video isn't boring. I like it.
How will you protect the Ranger from the chlorine/salt mix Michigan uses on the roads?
Fluid film, man. Works great.
Can you send a link for that cap on the truck please?
I dont think they make them anymore, sorry.
Hey Doug I got a ranger like yours. I love in Michigan where do you live?
I live near Gaylord.
@@DoinitwithDoug nice I spend the summer up at camp grayling with mine, so much fun up there!
What year is ur truck and how much did you get it for ⁉️
2002 and I have about 6500 into the build.
How many miles on your ranger?
183,000 after the drive.
Do you have a link to that bumper you have?
amzn.to/3HvqipN
We need more Ford Fuckin Ranger content!
I know... Im sorry! Soon though!
what kind and how much was your camper?
Its a Century topper and it came on the truck.
What’s the most you’ve pulled with that ranger?
Youre looking at it lol
Does your Ranger have cruise control?
Yes.
Do I still have this truck ?
I dont know, do you? lol JK No I do not.
Do you listen to music on long drives, podcasts? Let us know
I do. What do you want to know. I can share my Spotify if you want. Big music guy, and I love podcast.
Is that a V6?
Yes.
Where did you buy your bumper
Amazon. There is a link in my walkthrough video.
