Im currently looking at buying a 2007 ranger FX4 level II. i was wondering why this is recommended as such a great truck. what makes it the best ranger out there? any comments and help would be greatly appreciated.

 

bilstein shocks, better interiors, plus the upgraded diff

 

^^ that plus BFG A/T's stock ,full skid plates

 

Its basicailly a completely trail ready truck vs stock other ranger models. It comes with a full set of skid plates, torsion limited slip, alcolas, BFG ATs, power everything, etc etc. Definitely a great truck

 

i like the 2 tone paint option

 

Leather seats and a nice full length console.

 

X2!

 

Sit in a regular Ranger and then sit in a Level II... the difference is amazing! But besides the snazzy interior, leather, and all the fun stuff inside, you've got yourself the best the Ranger's got to offer. The 4.0L SOHC V6, 4wd with upgraded Bilstein shocks (which ride VERY nicely and are great off-road too), an extended cab with 4 doors (2 full and 2 suicide), all the power upgrades, 2-tone paint, a 31 spline 8.8" rear axle (not found in any other model/trim ranger) with a Torsen limited slip differential (no more worn-out clutches in your LS! plenty of traction for the weekend-warrior!) and you get 31x10.5" BFG A/T tires on 15" Alcoa forged aluminum wheels. I've had both a regular XLT 4x4 Ranger and now I have an 03 Level II, and the Level II is DEFINITELY worth the minimal price the package actually costs! Definitely pick one up!

 

Yea Level 2s are worth ever penny, too bad i didnt buy one. haha

 

dont level II's also have a manual tcase

 

the older one's do? 02-04 maybe? i dunno.. but just buy the lvl2 n be done with it.. lol

 

02~03 only for manual transfer cases

 

^^ ah yes

 

Once you go level II you never go back! It is part of the reason I am having such a hard time finding a used ranger. I compare them all to my o4 and there is no comparison. The only Reason I like my 01 better was the color, I love Bright Island Blue, but The DSG was a nice substitute. I got a Quote yesterday from the dealer just walking in joe blow off the street for 24K out the door. (My salesman that gets me better deals went to Maplewood toyota) So The difference for anybody between a Base model XLT value ranger in 4x4 trim and a loaded Level II is less than $2000.

FX4's are the way to go.

 

I just traded mine in so theres a toyota dealership in CT thats got a nice used one...

 

Buy It!!!!!

 

You forgot factory exended breathers

 

No, you just decided to hack yours away and make a beast all to yourself!

 

What are extended breathers?

 

With new paint!!

 

And sheetmetal,

 

Breather tubes are attached to your differentials, transmission, and transfer case. They are long tubes that let air into the differential but keep water and mud and gunk out of them.

 

Sweet deal, what years have the breather tubes?
