Great Truck!
I love the little truck. With a 4 cylinder engine, I can only wish that it had more torque. I shouldn't complain when I'm getting about 29 miles to a gallon on the highway.
I show mine in car shows
I love my truck I have been showing in car shows for three years. It is fun to drive and runs good.I think that Ford is wrong for stopping production on them. I have had six new cars since 1999. This is the only one I would buy over again but I can't because there not going to make it anymore. I am sure I am not the only one.
Yeah it's dated and surpassed, but...
Updated: At 130K Pass side wheel bearing needed a re-pack. Alternator swapped and did alot of other preventative maintenance, so it's good for anther few years (still on the original clutch). Everything else is running strong. I STILL get notes left on my truck from people who want to buy it. My first was a 2000 2.5L manual, ran it 210K before gifting to one of my sons. He did a rebuild and found the block did not need a re-bore ! Now on to my 2006. 2.3L are very efficient and advanced, power band starts higher than the 2.5. Rides a little taller too. Very smooth, better transmission than the 2000. These older Rangers are great family pickups: light hauler, perfect for suburban use and will get the job done on the farm too. Very reliable, flick that key only once and it fires right up. What more can you ask of a pickup?

Left me Stranded again
My ranger has 36500 miles on it and the air-flow sensor broke on it leaving me stranded before work. The warranty ran out at 36000 so I had to pay for everything. (towing, engine work). At 35000 miles the transmission had to be rebuilt. Luckily the dealership took care of that. I just don't trust it anymore. I'm trading it in.
Nice......
Great truck...gas mileage could be better for the 4cyl auto trans. Upgrade the tires to 235/70-15 to give it a little more height. Second ranger I've owned an think their great trucks Still own the truck since the last review. Still believe it's the best truck I've ever owned....NEW UPDATE...Now at 180,973 miles with very little mantiance truck just keeps going and going. So sad they stopped making them other wise I'd buy a new one.
