buying used ford ranger
Hello All,
I am new to Ranger-Forums, and i am looking into purchasing a used ford ranger. The year would be from 2005 to 2009. I want a 4x4 but i would really appreciate some advice for what to look out for when looking around. For example is the 4cylinder more reliable than a 6 cylinder? Any help would be great.
Thank you

both are fairly bullet proof engines, the biggest con you hear about on the 4.0 6 cyl is if its a 5spd the slave cyl likes to go out fairly often.
and the 4cyl hasnt been offered with 4wd since 95 in the US, but i see your location is "NL" so i dont know if they maybe have them there
not sure if the later 3.0l 6 is like this, but some of the late 90s ones had cam syncro troubles, couple of people on here have blown theirs up
hope this helps, they are great trucks.

yea, you'll have to find a 4wd with a 4.0L.
newfie, eh? you guys get snow, i'd get 4wd and 4.0L if i was you. it's a great motor and i love mine. look in the classified ads. there was a guy getting rid of a 08 or 09 sport 4x4. i dunno if he still has it or not. oh and he was a fellow canuk so there would be no issues aboot duty or customs.
