I'm a truck expert. 45yrs experience. 36 trucks under my belt. I own three special trucks now. The 3rd gen Ranger is with out a dout one of the best trucks ever built. I have a 07 that is right at 200k miles with seven different owners and you cant tell it from new. Get one now. The price is only going up not down.

I use one at work with 225k miles, and a storied history. I agree with you, these are awesome. I which is why we chose to film this one.

Bro I have a 97 with the 2.3L and it lacks power fucking bad and it kinda sucks. a/c doesnt exactly blow cold. Every fucking bump feels rough. Steering is extremely loose. Pulls to the left when braking. Headlights completely not aimed right. Antenna is non existent. A ton of wind noise. I cannot shift smoothly no matter what I do. A/c only blows hard through the middle vents and barely on the side vents. I swear everyone says the Rangers are super amazing cars but in my experience it fucking sucks

@andrewrodriguez8492 dude, almost everything you mentioned is maintenance related or just due to driving a 27 year old vehicle. Like are you serious? Adjust the headlights, replace the worn out suspension components, fix the ac. They are tough little trucks, they aren't immune to time and wear items wearing out.

Had a early 2000s ranger back in the day. it was a great truck. mine had the 4.0 engine and 410 gears from the factory in the rear end and had the torsen locker. It would tow up to 5000 lb. no problem and would regularly tow a 16ft flatbed with my built suzuki samurai on it. Typically got 18mpg daily. Was fine for wife and i and two adolescent sons but when the daughter was added it was replaced with a f150. 18 years later and about to be empty nesters and i am back looking at mid/compact trucks.

Late vehicles had electric package The USA version stopped in 2006 outside of the USA . The Ranger was a ""tougher version "" with bigger brakes ,,longer torsion rods , leaf for comfort , chassis reinforcement. Upgraded interior .

These are great trucks, I have a 1999. But man, Ford was really pushing it making these like this until 2011, extremely outdated all around by that time if you ask me. They should’ve gotten a complete redesign inside & out after at least 2003.
