This is my third Ranger and all were purchased used. I like the Ranger and this one has not dissapointed me. I must say the previous owners took good care of this truck, I got a bargain when I found it. My own loot at it followed by my friendly mechanic's evaluation confirmed that this rig is in top shape. I like the 4.0L V-6, it has plent of power for fairly heavy hauling and medium towing.

Best little trucks out on the market have on several different trucks of this particular style between the years of 1998 and 2000 you cannot beat them for what they are nothing special but plenty of power for every day needs an excellent traveler very comfortable truck extremely reliable hands-down! Definitely good looking little trucks as well been very pleased with everyone I’ve ever owned this is the first one of these I’ve had with the 4.0 V6 and it definitely makes a difference I highly recommend this Ranger

My ONLY peeve is the turn signal / wiper control assembly. The turn signal disengages too easily and the wipers turn on sometimes when I signal. This is a Quality problem compared to some other vehicles I've owned.

interior lights have a mind of thier own. totally unreliable. door ajar light is always on. the buzzer reminding me of it intermittantly sounds off. after a year of ownership new brakes and calipurs.I have also experienced vapor lock a few times. . otherwise great and fun and reliable. I'd get another.purchased may 2002 with 46k on the clock.
