What Edmunds Says

Old, tired and completely outclassed by its competition, the 2005 Ford Ranger only deserves a look if you're content with a cheap price and passable performance.

Pros

Multiple trim levels and options, functional interior, cheap price.

Cons

Dated platform, weak engines, choppy ride, lack of modern features and amenities, no crew cab body style.
