Any Ford Ranger people?
Like the title said, are there any people out there who has an interest in Ford Rangers or at least owns a Ford Ranger?

Rangers are great little trucks, very durable, reliable, and strong. I have a 3.0L and I tow a trailer load that weighs about 1500-2000 pounds across a mountainous highway with grades up to 8% and it makes it up a hill nicely. Thats just a 3.0L, I want a 4.0L though. Just for extra horsepower and bragging rights.
As for the crashes, Rangers actually are pretty strong. Some crashes are worse than others. My mom backed my Ranger into a tree at 5 mph, bent my bumper but you know could be worse. If she did that with a Mustang the whole trunk would be bent in.

You should get an older Ranger, lower it, and drop in a 5.0L in there. You'll have your Stang, your work truck, and your fun truck. Lol.

We might have that Edge package too (I can't remember for sure), cause the sucker definitely sits up high...
And I don't need a truck with a 5.0, that's what the Mustang is for...

I had a black 2001 4x4 SuperCab with the 5-speed manual ... loved that truck sometimes ... first year of the 207-hp SOHC 4.0

Haha. Very true. You'd be amazed at how many people put in a 5.0 in a Ranger. I wouldn't mind a 5.0L in a Ranger, I haul a lot with my Ranger. A 4.0L would be enough for me though.

Yeah, pretty much everything. I've carried a touch over 1/2 ton in the bed. I've towed 2000 over a mountain. I've gone off-road in it (its a 2WD). I've driven it almost everyday. Its done a lot. Its a great truck. Second favorite vehicle next to the Mustang.
