What did you name your truck?

Post by Bumpside Bobby »

I was trying to think of a name for my 1969 F250 Ranger, and thought I wonder what others have done.
So, How did you come up with the name for your truck?

I call mine the "Old Girl", it seemed an appropriate term of endearment and respect once I got her home and all cleaned up.

My now safety-orange-and-white '67 CS is now known as Orange Julius.

Prior to it's current iteration, as a faded brown POS, it was known as Used Dog Food.
too many Fords, no where near 'nuff time.

Same here if I'm talking to somebody else. If I'm talking to her it's just Girl or Good Girl with a loving pat on the dash or caressing the steering wheel. I love my truck and she knows it :wink:

I named mine Ole Red, it is a 72 Ranger XLT short bed, Ford Performance Red, it is old and red so it just seems like a good fit.

My 93 Mustang GT is original Bright Red paint , named what else , Crazyhorse.
My 07 Mustang Gt is original Black paint named Mo Sheena.
Mrs Crazyhorse also likes their names and we all get along good together.

They just pay more attention & perform better when I call them by their name. :D
