what do you like/dislike about your single cab? I found a 4x4 edge with 36k miles on it for a good price and i already looked up the car-fax as well as warranty history (gotta love having friends at ford) and everything seems good but i still need to check it out next sunday to make sure the frame isn't bad since i'm in the north east.
just want to get opinions on what to prepare for in a single cab since both my rangers have been 4 door extended cabs
Used to have one... it was a great first truck but no where to put anything! It's fine if you have a toolbox, tonneau cover or don't carry much with you.
I liked it at first but I won't buy a regular cab again. There is just no space and I am a big guy. I have to put stuff in the bed most of the time that I don't want there.
If you have a sliding rear window, it s much more practical to open while driving in a reg cab. I don't like the look of a lifted single cab though. I'd probably hold out for an ext cab.
I had a regular cab and liked it. Didn't have any interior room, but also didn't have wind noise or leaks from the half doors.
damn i didn't even think of the wind noise or leaks. thats good. Did you ever have that little top cab corner piece fall off? If i buy it, i'll be going to the junkyard and getting a few extras lol

I think they look better... Especially the short beds.
Could use a little more to mount the amp but found the bed box carries everything I need.
You don't need a lot of leg room, so that's not a problem, although the 01 on I think, had a little larger cab.
Don't have to turn the radio up as loud to fill the cab with music, lol.
You can reach the rear slider without stretching too far.
haha yeah i felt pretty comfortable when i was testing the gauge. It doesnt have a slider though i'll have to pick one up and it indeed is a short bed. basically how your truck came when you bought it haha. Its got 4.10s according to the info i pulled from ford but i couldn't find the ring gear, just the final drive was 4.10 which is good. I'd be pissed if it was 3.73
There okay. There is enough room for little things on the inside and its not like you put anyone in the back of the extended cabs anyway. Being that your shorter it will probably be fine for you. Just get a toolbox or a tonneau and you'll be good to go.

yeah i'd definitely be geting a black weatherguard for it. my wallet will hate me but i love those boxes. I should of kept my last one!
I never had a problem with the corner cab piece because mine was a 1990. Just get a few extras and you'll be good to go.
oh haha and yeah if the frame is good ill probably be picking it up. the belt was replaced at 19k because it was cracking so that may mean it sat a lot. hopefully its not rusted but with that mileage im guessing an elderly person owned it and just didn't get much use.
You should hav eased to drive mine but since you didn't buy that one.
I don't think there is a final drive ratio stated anywhere on the truck, just the gear ratio.
If you crawl under the truck and chk the tag on the rear cover's edge you will see the ratio for sure.
What motor, 5-sp, missed it ?
Looking at the pic, I am thinking that style looks nice, why did I change mine to steppie... Oh ya they look great too !
I hope you get it, look great and you will love the feeling of,driving an EDGE...

my friend works for ford and he logged into his account and it said the gearing when we looked up the VIN to check the warranty history
its an automatic 3.0L
single cab guys
