Nice truck..

But..

I got my 99 4.0 Auto with Buckets with the same milages 3 1/2 years ago... for less...

Either I got a good deal, or this one isnt...

Just something to look into..

NO...its eather a 3.0L or 4.0L OHV like whats in your truck now. if you are wanting a newer truck look at the 2001 and newer because your can get a 4.0L SOHC alot more power...

EDIT. just read it is a Flex Fuel truck that means it is a 3.0L so HELL NO

its a good price, looks clean to.
i would go for it for sure.
down fall is the 3.0, but if its only a show truck, then who cares?
its a nice looking truck for the price.

SInce FORD flooded the market with used vehicles during the summer and fall months when they had that special factory pricing....; the Kelly Blue Book price of the Rangers has dropped dramatically.
January '05 I purchased my Ranger 4dr for $12K with 51K on the odometer and the truck came with 4.0L 5 speed, ORP, power windows & door locks, and more. Now with 66K on the odometer, its probably worth $9500.

OR 4x4
