2002 base Ranger a GREAT value. $8,988 sale price at Hayward Ford, Hayward CA ($13,175 sticker - 1,600 dealer discount -2,500 Ford rebate) $10,150 out the door. If it's reliable, should be a good deal.

i am a big ford fan, but i wanted fuel economy and some power and reliability! This truck has towed and pushed 2 trucks already, with no problem, good power for a 4 cylinder. Just wish it was 4x4 with a 4.0 and a 5 speed
Worst vehicle I’ve ever had

I’ve owned 4 other cars, all older than 20 years with at least 170,000 miles on them. None of them has been the headache my Ford Ranger has been for the past year of owning it. Keep in mind I drive a single cab, inline 4, standard 2 wheel drive model. Within a year of owning it I have replaced; Both front wheel bearings and hubs, both front shocks, ac compressor, ac compressor pulley twice, serpentine belt 5 times due to other pulley issues, radiator fan clutch pulley, radiator fan, radiator and all new hoses, refilled Freon for ac multiple times, transmission fluid, rear differential fluid, new gaskets for rear diff and oil pan, new coil pack twice, spark plugs, wires, battery, starter, alternator, and is currently in the shop for a cracked air intake manifold. For it being the newest vehicle I’ve owned it’s been the absolute worst. Would do anything to talk someone out of buying one, and will not buy any Ford vehicles. Update one year later. I still refuse to trust a ford. Getting rid of that piece of shit was the best thing I’ve done. I’m sure other people have the polar opposite opinions and experiences, but for me I will never give ford another chance.

Drove my truck for 12 years, now it needs a clutch

My truck had not been in a shop for mechanical repairs till this year, it is 12 years old, it has over 150,000 miles. Took it to the shop, to get a clutch, and the mechanic said it didn't give him any trouble, however, it is starting to jam when I am shifting gears, so I will have to take it back. It has been on dirt mountain roads where only 4wd jeeps were spotted, and it has seen a lot of beautiful country all along the Blue Ridge, Smokies, and other great mountain terrain. This is one of the best vehicles I have ever owned.. If not the best.
