I just received a 2003 Ranger XLT as a gift from my sister.(She's obviously an angel) It has 153,000 miles, runs like a top and seems to be in almost new condition.
What are some of the mechanical and other issues should I be on the look out for with a truck of this age and mileage.
Thanks, BTW I'm new on this forum

 

What size engine? manual/auto? 2wd/4wd?

 

3.0 v6 2wd auto

 

The 3.0s are really tough little engines, they'll run for a long time. Just keep on top of maintenance and you should be fine.

 

damn.. 2003 with 150,000! my 2001 (purchased nov of 2000) has only 63,800!
someone sure loves to drive.

 

Yea they are tough but they can still mess up!

Also be aware of sock puppets!!!! Ya'll laugh now but MARK MY WORDS!!!

 

Look for rust in the inside, lower, door seams
