Ford ranger 4.0 4x4 manual

Driving my 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 4.0 v6 5 speed manual around town in Minnesota negative winter temperature

This is the perfect truck.

Truck is a strong word

[@marvincool3744]

No frills. Just a good honest work truck. Exactly what trucks should be. You don't need chrome steps or neon speedometers.

I have a 2002 Ranger 4x4 with a 5 Spd. I love shifting that old beast, Its my old yellow tank.

[@jordannewsom4578]

I have a 2011 xlt, I LOVE it. Cant beat a five speed and the 4 liter v6 it’s a really good combo and the 4 wheel drive works great two, I’ve got some bigger (not huge but way bigger than stock) mud grabbers on mine and I’ve never gotten it stuck!! Very decent gas mileage as well, just gatta make sure you shift under 2k ripums

[@oceapliler6959]

Shift at 2k? What the hell for?

[@11Hemi345]

@@oceapliler6959 He's saying that because shifting at lower RPMS will give you better gas mileage.

[@oceapliler6959]

@@11Hemi345 can't lug the gears man gotta get them up there I shift at around 3k

[@hydrothermalworm7778]

​@@oceapliler6959 i know this is a year old but finally someone's saying it. I don't know if it's a gearing thing or people are only talking about the 3-4-5 shifts, cuz if you shift 1-2-3 even at 2k the RPMs drop to 1100-1200 and you have to riiiide that clutch out to get no lug. I'd rather burn dinosaurs than clutches and just shift it to where the revs never dip below 1500, no lugs. For the record I've got 4.10s which I figured would make the low RPM shifts as favorable as could be since they're shorter overall

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

I want a truck like this one as my first car.

[@OlderthanIlookyoungerthanIfeel]

I have a 2 wheel drive Ranger Edge with the 4 liter , but mine is a auto . 220 HP in a Ranger can be more than a little fun

[@FuskyTheHusky81]

what mods are you running to get 220 HP? I'm assuming it's an SOHC?

[@OlderthanIlookyoungerthanIfeel]

@@FuskyTheHusky81 Yes it is , and i haven't put it on a dyno . I'm just going with the numbers that were posted . I don't even know what the torque numbers are supposed to be either . but it has more trouble hooking up than spinning . And any more power would be totally pointless in a 3,100 pound truck .

[@mortonfamily8609]

Only driven a 2.3L in manual. That must be a fun drive.

[@nickatlife8624]

Yes very torquey motor. Ended up selling it to my neighbor.

04 ranger with the 4.0

[@mrhijau8996]

which one better? auto or manual?

Both are fantastic. My father has had 3 Rangers. His current 2004 model is an auto with 280,000 miles and still going strong.

[@victorreyes4700]

How do you use the 4x4 is same as normal

[@nickatlife8624]

The older 94ish rangers you would lock it in outside. But this ranger is a button in the cab

Donde esta el freno mano en esa truck?

Un pedal, a la izquierda del embrague, un poquito más arriba.

How is it on gas? I’m looking to get one

Sold it to my neighbor never took any big trips with it. So never checked the mpg sorry

[@nyquil07na38]

My 4.0 v6 is a pig on gas even with 3.73 gears. With that said parts are super cheap and there is no complex fuel delivery systems. I will take more fill ups and less potential of shit breaking.

You realize youtube is free to upload whatever the user wants right? Like you do realize that right? And another thing if you had read the name of the video it kinda explained the whole video, idk some people just arnt capable of comon since anymore, you are acting like you paid the guy to make you some top quality video. There's another thing you probably dont realize as well, the world does NOT revolve around you, you prob wouldn't like silent comedy my guess is you would be completely lost.
