Looking to buy a Ranger
I am looking for my son, who is graduating from college this year. Problem I am having trying to decided between a sportier 2004 Edge with the 3.0 and 4:10 rear or a 2005 XL with the 2.3. Both auto trannys.
I know he would want the sportier one, but he is also worried about gas millage. So, get the kid something a little nicer he would be really happy with or something more stripped but, a bit easier on his wallet since he is just starting out.
Any suggestions would be awesome! Thanks!
p.s. I have the 4.0 in my Sport Trac and love it! But, that is the worst on gas......

considering they dropped the 3.0L after 2001 there isn't any other option.

go with the 2.3. if your son wants a little more power point him to this site and will teach him to put a turbo on it and run with some v8's.
Pretty much the 3.0 is an all iron motor (heads and block) its just reliable. While the 2.3 can get great mpgs. It all depends on what your son is looking for in particular. have him test drive both and let him figure out what meets his needs.
