The final Ranger

Just got back from Vegas (to DFW Texas) last week with my third and final Ranger I plan on owning. Posted a ISO on the marketplace and had a dude reach out to me from Vegas with this truck



2004 FX4 Level II. 118k miles, 4.0 SOHC w/Automatic transmission
Bone stock besides the new wheels and bright AF spot lights he installed in the grille. Couple dents and scratches here and there but very mechanically sound, had a whole book full of every oil change or repair he's ever done to it. Along with factory service manuals and wiring diagrams. Drove it 1200 miles from Vegas to home in one go, only stopping for food and gas. I'm completely in love, this is by far the best truck I've owned. It rides smooth, has plenty of power at pretty much any speed, and it's fun as hell to take it off road. I plan on doing an overlanding type build with it slowly over a few years. Don't need to drive it every day so im gonna make it last. First thing it's getting is a lift with bigger wheels and some better offroading tires. Will post updates in (hopefully) a few months.... Thank you to the marketplace here for helping me find my perfect truck, awesome thing you guys made.

Nice looking truck.
I found the extended cab Rangers ride better than the std cab.
Long wheelbase must be the reason.

p.s. A lift and larger tires result in a harsher ride.

That's alright, I'll do what I can to make it comfortable but I want the better look/ ground clearance. Already bottomed out on a couple things, thank God for those skid plates!
