I know but the women always complain about something hurting. I have heard several different stories about that kind of stuff.

did you owe anything on the truck? What gear ratio did you have? Do you have anyway to tell what yard the truck goes to after its out of your hand?

ya rangers are addicting... my dad has a 2000 focus station wagon that he drives to and from work and he likes it... its cheap to run.. plus he carries a bunch of stuff in it too.. hell we've had his racing mower in it a few times. i drive it every once in a while and its not a bad car..

but i say you should get a ranger.. i love mine even though its getting tired and has 264,000kms on it and its a 1993. im thinking of building a headache rack for mine..

my input for this, i probably wouldn't have bought my ranger if i knew it was going to get 18mpg, i would have bought an f-150, which gets equal or better mileage

2002 FORD RANGER - MUST SEE!!! this is not bad! okay questions, i know mostly everyone here has a 4x4, but im thinkin about a two wheel drive. i really dont use 4wheel much, other then in the snow and goin up larch Mt, a few times a year, BUT i want better gas mileage and cheaper in price. then save money and pay off bills and THEN get what i REALLY want later on.

It'll look good Bry. Check out a member named 'Turbo'...he's got a similar truck with a brush gaurd and he's 2wd w/ the 3" BL and 31's I believe. 2001-2003 silver frost truck.


Downey, 4wd isn't really needed. It snows a whopping 2 days out of the year in the city where he's at...it's not needed. Plus, he said all he needs is a street truck.

Hey bryan, theirs a place on 99e that has at least 7 rangers. It's down the street from the bomber. I'll try to find the name of it for you. They had a couple 4x4,fx4, and 2 wheel drives, lots of colors too..

So are you buying the truck back or not? Because if so I would LOVE to take all your a/c parts off your hands. I have a 96 without a/c or cruise control. or power anything.
