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

 

I love rangers!!! However I will never own one...not for the reason that I wouldn't like to have one as a little farm truck or something....but for the simple fact that everybody I know that has owned a ranger has totaled it....so I'm just going to avoid that vehicle since it attracts wrecks apparently!


but I do like them!!

 

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.

 

I got a 2000 ranger with a 4.0l. It was my first vehicle has 173,xxx and still running good. Most expensive part I had to replace we're the brakes.

 

ohh yeah they're great little trucks...guy I know on his second ranger (wrecked the first) has 250,000+ miles changed the oil a handful of times...just adds some when it gets low...

 

We have an' 05 Ranger.... Basic, single cab, but it's a workhorse! It's our 'Home Depot' truck...

 

Haha. Nice! My '03 Ranger is supposed to be a base truck but it has the Edge Package so its pretty much at XLT status. Also with the Edge package my truck is at 4WD height being a 2WD.
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

 

I had 1 that I traded in for my Stang.

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.

 

By any chance are any of you on the Ford Ranger Forum?

 

Great looking truck.

 

I was on that forum awhile back when I had a ranger. I had an 08 right before I had my mustang. We sold it. My dad has a 97 right now as well

 

Nice trucks. The Ford Ranger forum is a pretty great forum. I like your trucks as well as Gabe's.
Here's a pic of my Ranger:

 

Nice. Is it a work truck

 

My truck is a work truck, play truck, and well an almost daily driver besides my Mustang. I do just about everything with that truck.

 

Everything? Lol smooth I wish I had a dd other than mustang :\

 

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.

 

The nice ranger was a nightmare the ugly one was fun as hell
