Review

Truck is good. It has tons of low end grunt, but the top end suffers unless you go aftermarket parts. There have been a lot more appearing lately. You can go to rangerpowersports.com if you want more power and info about features. I do think the interior plastic is cheap though, but everything else is durable and utilitarian. It is the best handling truck I have ever driven.

Favorite Features

Hideaway rear seat, Smooth Manual tranny.

Suggested Improvements

Needs larger stock Wheels, less cheap plastic.

Review

This is my second Mazda extended cab truck. It does exactly what it was designed to do. It's very low- maintenance...the build quality is excellent for the money. Routine, periodic maintenance is all it requires. For these reasons alone, I would consider buying another one.

Favorite Features

The V6 engine has been problem free, as has the whole truck.

Suggested Improvements

Maybe a smoother operating floor shifter...other than that, can't think of much.

Review

Good truck all around (95% Ford Ranger), Too many plastic parts that do break and are not cheap.

Favorite Features

it is comfy and fun to drive

Suggested Improvements

cheaper parts, more after market parts, would do better to style it away from ranger.
