i dont own a ranger yet but definitly gonna get one. when i get a ranger which one should i get i have 2 that i like. and i definitly have to get 4wd manual 4.0 ext cab.
right now i have two choices that i want
1) 2001-2002 ranger edge
2) 2002-2003 fx4 off road

im leaning more twards the fx4 but what are the pros and cons of each truck and which one do you guys think is better or more worth it.

Well the 02 and 03 FX4 are not the same machine...

 

What are your goals? Nice stock truck or you plan on aftermarket mods? That determines a lot.

 

yea basicaly what kinda performance you want out of the truck

 

Ditto,

What's your main factor you want in a Ranger?

If your unsure but either of those things, no big deal. Whatever style of Ranger you go with, they all have 1 thing in common, reliable! -Mike-

 

and idk about anyone elses.. but they seem to handle about watever you can throw at em.. id say ive put mine to the max more than a few times

 

well i am gonna build it up and do some off roading up in the mountains in northern cali. want some 35s with a body and superlift. maybe after funds allow it a sas but yea i have a car for the street want some fun in the mud like my brothers jeep wrangler free way driving gets sorta boring

ok well you want 4.0 definately then. Also, if it has a limited slip in the back end is good. You could always take one without a ls and upgrade to a locker in the back though.

FX4 if you want it for offroading.

 

Eh, putting a locker in a regular 4x4 would be even better. And he's getting a manual tranny and 4.0 anyways.
