My name is Jason and I'm picking up my first Ranger this week. The Ranger is a 1998 Ex cab 4X4 with a 5 speed and a 4.0L. I'm hoping this purchase helps save me on the cost of diesel fuel and be a fun ride, this is also my first small truck. I'm excite to learn about these trucks.

 

Hello and welcome.

 

Welcome to R-F!

 

Welcome man! The 4.0 ohv isn't the greatest on gas though... My 4.0 ohv averages 10-12 mpg but I'm also on 33s. When I was on 31" tires I was getting 13-14mpg city. But the 5 speed will def. help.

 

Mine sits on 32s. I will be using it as a commuter truck back and forth to work about 25 miles a day and 20 of those are on the freeway.
