Hey everyone, I've been out of rangers for awhile now, and I'm currently looking for a winter truck. I found this one yesterday and looked at it. Seems pretty solid other then wheel well rust. I have no experience with the older v6 or the older 4x4s. Anything I should look out for or be aware of any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

1989 Ford Ranger 4x4

 

I wouldnt pay more than a grand for it

 

That's what I was thinking just wanted to make sure its worth that.

 

offer him 900 and see what he says. i love that older bodystyle!

 

i love the older body style, my first truck was an 89 2wd 2.3 long bed. so im partial to it. i may call him and make him an offer today.

 

I loved my 89, is that the 2.9? They're awesome beaters, and if I remember correctly uses the same mounts for a 4.0 so if the motor ever gives you trouble it's an easy swap for a better more powerful motor. I loved mine when I had it.

 

its between this and a 90 F150, just looking for a beater truck to transport a snowblower in the winter.

 

the only way id buy the f150 is if it has the inline 6 in it.

im liking the ranger though. even at 1000, it seems worth it to me

 

im leaning more towards the ranger, may call and make him an offer tomorrow after i check out the insurance rates on adding another vehicle

 

Curious if you bought that 89 ranger!
I have a '89 2.9L :)
If ok, I'd like to compare mine to that one. Post pics? (Link to craigslist is no longer valid)
