Would you buy a new Ranger?
So with all my problems and constant b!tching about my truck do you think it would be wise for me to buy a new Ranger? I would get an auto FX4 4 door. My main problems with my truck is that the slave cylinder constantly needs to be changed and I hate not having power windows and locks. I b!tch about not having space in the cab but honestly I don't need it. 99% of the time I'm alone in my truck. Internet price for a new FX4 with everything is 23K. What do you guys think?

Go for it. Buy an 06-08. Prices are stupid cheap, however you might even get a crazy cheap deal on a brand new one.
My dad paid $25k for his 08 B4000 in June last year. Like last month I looked in the paper and they were selling brand new 08s for $18k LOADED (power everything, where my dad's is basic, no power options). That's a $7000 price difference for the same truck.
Do some comparative shopping and see what kind of deals you can find.

I would not buy older or with more miles than what I have for a daily driver. I'm at 118K. The engine is fine its just the stupid tranny.

Tacos are great but pricey. A Ranger is relatively cheap and have a proven record. You're a member on here so you know the major things we all complain about on rangers.
Getting an automatic will solve one of the most annoying and expensive problems. The 4.0 SOHC is a great motor (406 000km - 250+k mi on mine and still going strong).
I think the majority of us on here are very happy Ranger owners. After the good experience I've been having with mine, I would most definetly buy another one.

Hmm for some reason i dont like the ones. like 07+..
I know this is bias since i own one of them. But if i were to get another ranger it would be the same one i have.. A lvl II with twin sticks just lower miles.. I love the 02 - 03 body style the best to.
I think tacos are way over priced.. what you can get a fully loaded F-150 for a TACO price.. plus tacos dont last forever anymore im sorry to say there motors are no different than whats in my ranger.. they last as long as they last.
And i am not an automatic fan at all but thats just me. even if we have weak tranny it still works wonders for me. i say its all in the driver - not saying your a bad driver.
EDIT:
There are like 5 Fx4's at my local dealer out here. I was just there today. I think i say an 07 06 04 and 03. plus two more at the chevy dealer.. utah and fx4 FTW
