Pennswoods.net Classifieds: 2001 Ford Ranger

Looks good, I want a yellow ranger

 

Not a bad looking truck on the net, but i personally stopped and took the truck for a drive ( it's on my way home from work actually ) and the paint is all chipped and dinged up, can't tell from far away though. Has a nasty knock, and i personally wouldn't touch another car in his lot after previous buying experiences...

 

No FX4's were built in 2001 model year. Your picture is either an Edge in factory Chrome Yellow or a repaint. Either way, the black lower body paint is definitely not factory - I'd suspect a rust cover up.

Factory yellow FX4's are listed for 2006~2007 (actually 2-tone Screaming Yellow with Dark Shadow Grey lower body).

 

That looks like a members truck.

 

Rwen, you're totally right man! i thought something looked fishy about the truck...

 

Yeah how did you get FX4 from that post? No stickers on it or anything. Doesn't say it anywhere. Plus that black two-tone looks like it was rattle canned.

 

maybe meant 4x4 but was thinking fx4.......o.0

 

The reaosn I said fx4 is because of the bedrails

 

those bed rails came on all 01-05 rangers (2WD, XL, XLT, 4x4, Edge, Edge 4x4, FX4, FX4 Level II) that didn't come with the factory plastic drop in bedliner.

 

Interesting, learn something new everyday haha.

 

Thats what the forum is all about. Like a Ranger library.

 

All 01~05 Rangers without the factory bedliner?? I've never seen a FACTORY-INSTALLED set of those bedrails on any Ranger newer than 2002. I bought my 2003 new and it did not have a bedliner nor did it have those bedrails.

 

I did a quick google images search and I believe you are right.

I could have sworn someone told me when I was looking to buy a set that they came on 01-05s.

The only thing I could find that was otherwise was this edmunds review of a 2003 FX4 Off Road. But they could have used picture from a 2002 FX4 (Level II that was not badged Level II).
2003 Ford Ranger used car prices, trade in value at Edmunds

EDIT:
FOUND IT!! This is where I saw someone tell me that.

 

i hate those plastic bedrails

 

You're right, those are pictures of a 2002 FX4 Off Road, not a 2003 Level II. It has the 2002 bedside decals and the 2002 seats:



For the record, I did find the plastic bedrails still available in the 2004 Ranger accessory catalog but, by then, they were no longer available as a factory installed option.

 

I miss My 02 FX4... RIP :-(

 

Stupid edmunds trying to trick people. Little did they know r/f was on to them HAHA.

Stupid BlackRanger04, being misinformed. lol
