Best option for a basic truck

Bought an old Ranger from some guy in a trailer park for $900 because it ran and I could afford it. It was repainted with primer grey, older than I was, 342k miles and dripping oil from the tailpipe. Wound up being the most reliable thing I ever owned. Never left me on the side of the road in over three years, had an occasional failure to start that could be solved by jiggling the battery cable, and cost me a total of ~$200 in repairs in maintenance -- which combined with the surprisingly good fuel economy and dirt cheap insurance (why bother with full coverage when the thing's already banged up the full way around?) makes it a godsend to a broke college student. -- It's very basic, but delivers 20+ mpg and is all but indestructible. If you're looking for a very nice whip, this isn't it without a lot of custom work, but if you just need to get from A to B and take a good bit of stuff with you, this is the way to go. Oh, and the tailpipe quit dripping oil after a $7 bottle of compression sealer, for the record.

Great truck. 225,000 miles and only normal wear and tear repairs needed (brakes, oil changes, tires, tune ups and the like).
Best Pick up for the money

Not incredibly useful when used to haul 4x8 sheets. You need to build a special carrier (2x4s work) to haul panels. Plenty of power. Good for the average truck user.

I have onwned my Ranger for over a year now after purchasing from the original owner who kept detailed records and never had a major problem. I did put a motor in after an oil pump failure at 180K, I believe due to the limited mileage and it was being driven and waiting 5K miles between oil changes. I also replaced the original clutch at this time. Still gets at least 22 mpg with mosty city driving, but I could improve on that easily. Lacks power (2.3) but will haul small loads and is a joy to drive.
Rangers lead the way!

1990 Ford Ranger XLT SB is the best truck in its class. I've owe this truck for 5 years now and it has been a great investment. My truck has well over 1,000,000 miles and continues to purr like a kitten. Yet, she is tough like a Tank. I am not surprised to see as many as I do still on the road! You couldn't give me another truck! Gas mileage is great, maintenance, when necessary is inexpensive and she just continues to turn heads wherever I take her. All offers are quickly turned down as I will never part with her........1990 Ford Ranger XLT IS Built Ford Tough and is the best truck in its class ever built........second to none.
