Links not showing.

 

fixed

 

way too cool.

 

I would buy it if the link worked

 

thats pretty sweet.

 

I saw this too. Registered in the US. I didn't think it was possible?

 

want

 

I'd be interested to know what they did to register it. Although Texas has different laws.

 

who cares? once its in, its in!

 

There is more then one and more then one person wants one. Maybe somebody wants to know what it takes to get it registered? Just an idea.

 

i agree. at least knowing one is in the US gives a glimmer of hope, even this far north. :)

 

Why does is say 03 and look like a 90's truck? And I like diesels but that motor doesn't spec out very well for power or at least that's what I read 135hp? That's less than 4.0 gas. Motor

 

Diesel is about the torque, bro

 

i found that it makes 195 tq at 1800 rpm , redlines at 4800

 

They were a facelift behind us. That's why it looks like a 98-99 when it's a 2003

 

If I wanted to splurge I would seriously consider buying it. I bet that 2.8 sounds awesome. I'm sure they even having tuning for it. Parts would probably internet only for motor/drive train I'm sure. I bet it's a fun little truck to drive. All that low end tq in such a small truck.

 

why not just swap in the diesle motor? it couldnt be any different than the v8 swap could it?

 

I don't think it matters what the state law is if it doesn't pass EPA standards, also there would be issues with safety standards

 

x2. First crewcab Rangers were some sort of Frankesteins, mixing some Ranger parts from different generations.

Found a link from someone who imported a crewcab Ranger to US from Mexico. CLICK. Hope it helps somebody who might be interested in importing one...

 

X2, I noticed that, 2000 at the newest.

BUT it would work for me.

 

Either way, if you don't like the front end just swap it to a newer one. Not a huge fan of the 98-00 front end but it's a great looking truck condition wise so I would just leave it.

 

Very cool truck..

 

98-03 Mexico and South American = 98-00 US and Canada

04 they revamped the Mexico and South American Rangers alongside the US and Canada models, with each having their own look and interior details. Such as 1 piece headlights, different valence, tailgate, flares, gauges, etc.
