I got my 99 Ranger XL handed down to me from my Grandpa after he passed away for my first vehicle when I was 15, and I babied it and loved upgrading parts and modifying it. It's a complete work truck, all manual windows and locks, plastic everything but it had low miles and 4x4 and it never failed me once. I used it for my own junk removal and hauling company, fit four people in it even though it only had jumper seats in the back and 2 doors, went mudding in it and got it stuck a few times. Nothing broke ever. I thought about selling it time and time again but I couldn't I had too many memories of it and it meant a lot to me. I A couple months ago I got into a accident and rear ended a car and ended up in a ditch with the whole front bumper bent in, the hood and fender messed up really bad. The tow truck driver came out and used his winch to pull out the bumper and i was able to drive it back home. Nothing mechanically was broken and I still drive it everyday and I have an appointment to get it fixed by a body shop. I've definitely put more money into it than what it's worth but idc I love it

[@frankgar4560]

Jacob this comment made me want to keep my ranger forever now it's my first truck and I honestly have a handful of payments left on it and was thinking of selling it soon as I finished paying it off to move into a newer model but just like you said I haul stuff here and there go mudding in it help stranded cars with a tow very useful and reliable truck best of luck with your truck man

Keep it as long as you can. @ 53 years of age I could kick myself for not hooking on to something and keeping it.

Spray fluid film under it to keep rust at bay and hang on to it.

@@johnoberle9750 john I am 25 and I already feel that pain I moved on from my older mustang to a more modern one and got Hit by a older lady under the influence of meth and it was totaled and somehow they still favored her and I got nothing back cause of all the technology the newer mustang had it just wouldn't run anymore with going into pad lock every 40 seconds so I had ultimately had to get rid of it bought my self a chevy 350 it was a endless money pit at the end of it I dragged and pushed that truck to the used dealership and they took my truck in and as I was looking around the ranger was the only truck in stock and just happen to be the best choice for me so far it's very simple to maintain and these trucks are so common that any thing that I've had to replace was more then affordable and easy to install but yes I wish I didn't move on and just kept my original mustang

I'm a Texas man, I have one of those from '99 in red and me and my friends stand near it while we drink beer. Occasionally we say say "yuupp". It's a great truck one day hope to give it to my son.

[@spunkyspy]

Everyone always hates on the 3.0 v6, I like how you actually pointed out the upsides of it, I own a pest control company and we’ve had 6 rangers, one with the 3.0L is at 540,000 miles, and another is at 360,000 miles. The 2.3s seem to be good for about 200,000 miles. I absolutely agree they are not the fastest motors but the 3.0 is damn near indestructible! This generation was truly a perfect work truck, the new ones are too expensive and I don’t trust a turbo to last in the long run.

[@rhekman]

Very true. Different horses for different courses. 4 cylinder for economy, 3.0L V6 for longevity, 4.0L V6 for performance.

[@path2049]

My 1994 Ranger 2.3l has over 400K miles. No engine or trans issues at all, still getting 28 mpg. Lol.

[@spunkyspy]

I guess I should specify, all the rangers I have owned have been 3rd generation models, I am not surprised to hear that your 2nd gen 2.3L is at 400k miles, as I would not be surprised that they made the motors more robust back then. Both the 2.3 L Duratecs I had, developed issues with either the head or the valves right around 200,000 miles

[@JayDogTitan-he6wo]

Ive got a 3.0 V6 in a 2002 and that motor is a beast, Ive got 140,000 on it and since ive had it ive never missed an oil change and I always get the ultimate oil change, Its a tank.

I have a 2004 Ranger Edge extended cab. I bought it new after my '85 Ranger bit the dust. It looks almost identical to the one in your video. I like it very much, even though I have a couple of complaints. It has only 32,000 miles on it (I'm retired and don't get out much,) but I have already had to have the fuel pump replaced ($744) the day after I got home from the hospital with a broken hip. I had to have it towed to a shop (another $125.) I would have done that job myself, but the hip wasn't having any part of that. It also has one or more ball joints squeaking and clunking. It's been a little over 2 months since I broke the hip, so I think I'll be able to do that job myself in a couple more weeks. Good time to replace the brake pads, too. Other than those two issues, I still love to look at it and drive it.

That was my first truck I worked with watering flowers at a country club.Had some hot summer days.

[@dougbrown9861]

I have a 2005 Ford Ranger XLT Extended Cab 4 Door with the same transmission and engine. It currently has over 240,000 miles and to this day, I have never had to add any oil between oil changes. The transmission is the same 5 speed automatic and it still shifts and operates like it should with no oil leaks. It has a Leer shell on the back that is color matched to the truck, Desert Tan I believe is the color. Knock on wood, this is the perfect truck for me and at my age,72, I'm not looking to replace it. Oh yeah! The AC will run you out of the truck! If you take care of one of these little trucks and don't abuse it, I'm convinced they will just about run forever.

Just picked up a 2004 ranger edge v6 3.0 w/ 100k miles on it. Having my mechanic look it over, but the engine and trans seem solid!

[@fordtruckman80]

I have a 2003 Edge + Supercab with the 3.0 and a 5-speed manual. It originally had the 5R44E Automatic, but that blew up at around 78,000 miles, which was unfortunate but I believe it was due to previous owners and not Ford. I swapped the truck to a manual and never looked back. Anyways, I bought the truck with 42,000 miles back in 2010. Still have it today, still drive it almost every day, and she's now at 193,000 miles. It's been one hell of a truck, and I don't think there's anything else I want. I like my trucks basic, and the Ranger fits that bill perfectly. As for your review, you missed a few things such as that factory 6-Disc CD Radio (They were premium, even though they're known for breaking), and you kept mentioning 4 cylinders when they were not an option on the Edge trucks. Also, the oil pressure gauge is worthless on almost all mid-80's to late 2000's Ford trucks because it's just a switch that reads at half scale as soon as the switch sees 4 psi of oil pressure. In a low oil pressure scenario, by the time that gauge moves, your engine is already toast from being starved of oil.

[@chrismcnally9006]

I had a 2001 Ranger that I bought for cheap off my brother. It was a 2.5L I4, 5-speed, 2wd, regular cab with the 6' bed. Before I bought it, he had drove it for 40K+ miles, fixed some things, ignored other problems, swapped axles from the stock 7.5" dinky unit to an 8.8" with 4.10 gears. When I bought it, it was sitting at around 180K+ miles. I lifted the front too much (oops), had a mutual friend of ours weld the rear gears (Lincoln Locker?) and put some 15" Jeep Wrangler wheels with 30" tires on it. We used it on the Gambler 500 in 2020, and that thing did a fantastic job! A little cramped for someone of my height, the clutch was messed up and engaged WAY too high and it had little to no power. But, it hardly ever got stuck off-road! It helped me to fall in love with this platform! I sold the truck and eventually bought a 1998 Mercury Mountaineer V8 to serve as my off-roader. It addresses all the shortcomings of the Ranger, and performs even better off-road! In short, great little truck that served as a gateway drug for more of these vehicles!

[@sharpdressedman53]

Learned to drive on my dads gray 2011 sport 4x4 with the 4.0 V6, automatic, Supercab, vinyl floors, bucket seats and all the bells and whistles (like a vinyl floor and power windows ooooohh.) Several years later I inherited my grandfathers 08 XLT 4.0 4x4 supercab almost everything is the same except its white, has regular cloth floors, a bench seat and best ofall it has a manual tranny and no rust because it was from Florida. It’s in much better shape than my dads lol. 2 years later I’m just as obsessed and in love as when I first got it! My dads ranger was already cool in my opinion but with the big ol stick shift and the bench seat it makes it feel more vintage and badass and it’s definitely more fun to drive around in! Also the 4.0 V6 feels like a rocket ship when compared to the 4 cylinders

[@josuemancilla996]

We used to own one. I wish I could’ve driven it. It was a manual and it was a nice red color. It was a late 90’s model. I know drive a tacoma of the same era and I think I’d still pick the taco but that red ranger was a cutie

[@gwgaming8301]

my 2003 ranger (my first and current car) has the fold out back seats. i have to say i absolutely love it and hope i can use it for years to come, at least until the end of high school

[@dcpoolsvc]

I got an 05 Edge Extended Cab a couple of months ago. I’m in the process of modifying it. It’s a 2wd, but being the Edge, it has the 4wd torsion bar suspension so I’m planning on giving it a small lift. I’ve already added a touch screen radio and halo projector headlights. I’ve got several other smaller things planned for it as well. I was wanting a full size truck when I got it, but truck prices are nuts these days, so I’m gonna mod this one and hang onto it for a while and probably then move on to a full size. I do appreciate the simplicity of the Ranger though. I feel like I can actually work on this thing.

[@2H2521]

These are some of the best trucks ever made even though I’m not a fan of the junky & gutless 3.0L engine. 10:09, as for the interior, it’s really not that bad & is actually pretty well put together overall. These still have a much better interior than all of its competitors did at the time, plus Ford interiors often tend to stand the test of time unlike the crap from GM & Chrysler.

Have an 03 EDGE 3.0. Bought it in 2012 for 3000 and it had 112,000. Still have it, put a clutch, radiator brakes, battery, ball joints waterpump, shocks, battery tires. Drives like new with 170,000 miles. Easy and fun. Runs like new

[@tacticalidiot175]

3k, wow. Can't find a base model ranger for under 10k now.

[@davefroman4700]

We will see how well they were built in a few weeks at the Danger Ranger 9000 race in Florida at the Freedom Factory.

[@StonedSpagooter]

Im so jealous of the crank handle, this truck should be as simple as possible

[@idontknowimbored4851]

My friend has a 07 with the 4 banger, he blew the speakers blasting limp biskit in the school parking lot.

[@pauloramirez8216]

So I just found a 2004 ranger with 80k for $4000 it has the 3.0 engine. Is that a good buy?

[@Crustyguns]

Yes

[@JoseGarcia-zi4zq]

I have a 97 ranger 4.0 4x4 and at 440 still running strong my grand father bought it new for the farm

[@maxseed4730]

I love my 98 2.5 5 speed x cab.. 166k still runs great

[@nickolassberna2647]

with the cupholder if you pop the insert out your big bottle would of fit I can fit anything from a 1L brisk iced tea bottle down to a red bull can snug in my cup holder

[@42luke93]

The new rangers aren’t like this. They’re like cars now. I prefer this, the long bed, front bench seat and column shifter. It should be a farm vehicle like this. Reguardless is nicer to me.

[@coonhaven6274]

I got my 2002 ford ranger xlt about 9 years and it's been reliable but the transmission broke like a year ago but I'm getting it fixed I. A few weeks but yea I agree with all he said about the new one and how it doesn't compare like the old one❤

[@comercole1940]

I have a 1999 ford ranger xlt crew cab and its amazing mostly basic with auto windows and it runs great!!!

[@user-cp1qh9jv6c]

Does the EDGE mean like a trim or something?

[@user-fp7ee2mk3c]

In ranger years..they were very safe vehicles too. She did good there too.

[@doglegjake6788]

I have a 2010 Ford Ranger sport it's the best truck I've ever owned in my life I've never had any problems whatsoever at 94,000 miles

[@josephgeorgeejr7039]

This is actually probably the very top trim package

[@willhopkins678]

On my 3rd one,damn good truck!

[@blazinbuc99]

Had to replace clutch at 200k miles. Fuel pump at about 175k but those have been the only major issues. Bought the truck with 100k on it for $4500 about ten years ago

[@gcproductions7246]

Got a 1996 ford ranger 3.0 4x4 as my first truck. Had 101k on it when I got it and now has 154k. I have gotten it burried in a creek over night, driven it through a foot of snow, hauled a 12 foot trailer loaded down with stuff countless times, and hauled a 2500lb boat countless times. The truck took care of me for my last 3 years of highschool and took me to my first job. She is still going strong and I plan to keep her forever.

[@benstevenz]

6:48 image doing that in Houston 😅 had to come back to this video lol

[@DBDSnapp23]

I have an 03 Ranger edge with the sidestep on the bed

[@darrenbyrd4322]

My first truck was a 89 Ford ranger extended cab I liked it it had a 4.0 motor in it my second ranger that I have right now but you can see the picture of is a 2000 extended cab with the 3.0 motor rebuilt rebuilt transmission and both doors in the back open up and it's wonderful kind it's a copper color orange with a two-tone paint job custom two wheel drive I love my ranger and simple it's easy unlike these newer trucks they're nice or just a little bit too much for me

[@njhgv9192]

11:26 how did you get that effect? What filter did you use?

[@ShootingCars]

A phone app called RareVisionVHS

[@Super_Sweans]

2003 fx4 lvl 2 great first truck

[@GenderSkins]

I just got a 2001 Ford Ranger Edge, super cab with a V6 and 5 speed manual. It however is not my first Ford Ranger, that would be my 1972 Ford Ranger F-150. And like that truck, this one two is very basic. Trucks back then weren’t just built to last, they was built to work. And we didn’t call them Cowboy Limousines back then, like Dodge did with their 1999 Dodge Quad Club Cab 3500’s. Back then they was often cold natured, yet never failed to start on even the coldest day. And you could drive those old 1970’s Ford Rangers half way across Texas, with a blowed head gasket and clogged radiator and it wouldn’t leave you on the side of the road with a faulty injector pump.

[@behindthewolfseyes]

We had a 2003 with low mileage that constantly broke down, possibly from sitting for too long. I daily a 2008 with 236k miles. It runs like a top, but has terminal rust issues. Both were 4.0 V6s with the 5 speed auto, ext cab, and 4wd. The bigger V6 has plenty of power, but terrible traction without weight in the bed, even by pickup standards.

[@ratcatcher4804]

They were way ahead of their time. I have a 2001 blue edge standard cab 3.0 with 130k. It runs rides and gets the same fuel mileage as it did when I bought it in 2008. They keep their look well for 20 years. Ford used quality paint. But the sheer age of 20 the fuel pump went from years of ethanol and plastics are starting to dry out from age. And could use a transmission overhaul for worry free mileage in to the 200s. It has the 5R55E not the problematic 5R44E. The truck in this video will "EASILY" make it to 2030 or beyond and still look the same if taken care of.

[@dave11686]

Effin Ford Ranger!

[@frasiec]

Have a 2001 edge I bought new. Slow but good 👍. Tires last. Only on my third set. I still like it

[@ironcross420]

That plate "relocator" is illegal in Kommiefornia. There is measurements to follow in the CVC

[@madmonkey8141]

I own a 2004 XLT super cab 4x4 4.0 v6

[@garybaugh8302]

Looking at same 2004 XLT stepside but with 5 spd manual.

[@jayscarreviews9614]

That ford ranger is the most reliable vehicle at that Toyota dealership by a long shot, getting rid of my rock solid 02 ranger for an extremely unreliable 2013 Tacoma was the biggest mistake of my life, it’s crazy how the ranger got discontinued but the Tacoma didn’t

[@GroveDog1995]

My 2002 4.0 makes 350 horse power with collector plates that says a lot in Wisconsin.

[@toddbob55]

Rangers are damn great Trucks love my 2011 2.3.

[@ST-fk3jz]

How much is that thing selling for?

[@eduardomendoza2769]

I have a 2002 Ford Edge Step Side RWD 3.0 looks very nice, going to make it look better 👁👁

[@BDcumminsdiesel]

Those inserts pop out to fit bigger cups
