I own an 02 Ranger 4.0 SOHC with 145,000 miles and I'll say one really big thing to look for if youre buying a used one in the 98-2006 4.0 SOHC models is take it for a test drive to get the engine warm then let it sit and idle and LISTEN for a constant or intermittent rattle. The timing chain tensioners are poorly designed in these years and when they fail the chain destroys the flimsy guides and the chain will get more and more slack til it jumps timing and fails catastrophically.

I have a '09 Ford Ranger XLT with 40,000 original miles. 2.3 ltr/automatic. Runs like a top!! Will NEVER sell it!! &Love Scotty!!

15 years old? That is a new truck! My daily driver is an 89 C1500. My other truck is a 46 3100, but it's got Johnny Cash style from every year since.

Dream on. In 2020, the average age of US light trucks and cars approaches 12 years. New research from IHS Markit shows that the average age of light vehicles in operation (VIO) in the US has risen to 11.9 years this year, about one month older than in 2019.

[@douglasncarter]

@@brianevans656 I don't own any millenial vehicles from this century, that's why they still run. I get 300,000 out of engines and 200,000 out of transmissions because I don't read market surveys. I just drive them until they quit and then fix them. Crate motors are

My dad bought an 88’ Ranger XLT in late 1987 in Pennsylvania just the single cab with 4x4. I drove it later in the early 2010s as a winter vehicle as I made a poor choice in choosing mustangs as my daily drivers and passed the 200k mile mark on the original transmission, 2.3L engine and transfer case. Replaced some components through the years to keep it manageable like u- joints, exhaust etc.. but he didn’t even consider getting a new paint job until it’s 25th anniversary as someone trying to squeeze in an alley way with a moving truck an scraped the side. He got it painted, fix some rust holes in the frame himself prior but never the frame. Sold it about 4 or 5 years ago to a guy we knew through my brother even for a few grand and found out later he drove to Colorado and back to Pennsylvania. As far as I know, one of the 3 most bulletproof domestic vehicles ever made other than certain year Chevy Cavaliers and the box style Cherokee Limited.

Had an 08 ranger sport 5 speed . Best truck I’ve ever had . I got rid of it when I had my second kid and still regret it . It was pristine minus a ding on the passenger side from my wife backing into it .

The bead is not rusted because the bed liner has been sprayed with a product similar to Line-x. Otherwise, any bed liner will rust.

[@semco72057]

I have three Ford SUV's and truck and they are still in great shape and I got each of them used and the SUV's only was one year old when I got them, but the truck was older, but not driven much and it has 66k miles on it.

I have a 2011 and she's still runs great. 365000 klms and still looks great 5:56

[@charlestatakis9363]

Great engine but it's very important to change out the chain tensioner every 60,000 miles. They are notorious for jumping timing sprocket teeth. Once they make noise on startup, it's time. Once done on time, that engine will go 200K miles easily.

[@higoodbye3495]

my dad had a 2002 ranger w a v6 manual rwd, 271k miles when he sold it for 1k, he used to treat it like a dump truck and do burnouts with it and it still ran like a top, they really are the american tacoma

I bought a 1993 Explorer used in 2003 with 56k on it. Had it for 7 years. Body was separating from frame. Not surprising as I submerged it once in a while. I dropped it off at the salvage yard with 269K on all original engine an trans.

I am curious if there is a major life expectancy differance when we moved from oil based paint to water based paint. For the "environment friendly".

Kinda what I figured about 3 years ago when I went looking for a reliable used truck. V6, manual, near zero bells and whistles. It's been great to own.

[@danielli959]

Did it have a 3.0 or 4.0?

[@DIYDad1]

If I could go back in time I would buy an early 90’s Ford or Chevy pickup maxed out trim level, coat the entire thing inside and out for rust proofing, stick it in a barn for 20 years and put it on the road today and it will be the most dependable and reliable truck on the road today. They just build them like crap these days all in the name of emissions, safety, and efficiency and weight loss. If the 98 Chevy I have now wasn’t totally rotted out with rust I bet it would be on the road for another 20 years at least.

Good for you even if you can afford it. Smart move. I've never bought a brand new car. Always used and fix them myself or with a good and honest mechanic like Scotty. I know a couple. If you buy a new car that's going to be a bad investment.

[@barackblows1942]

Nothing beats that new car smell and new car warranty. It’s not an investment unless you’re lucky. I always buy new. So what if you lose a little money in depreciation, at least you’re not constantly worrying about the next repair bill. Life’s too short, live it up! 🚙🛻🚗🏍

@@barackblows1942 your average car loses 50% of it's value in the first 5 years. I would not call that a little money. I use to share your belief. Now I just own 3 older cars. When one breaks I just drop it off at the mechanic and tell him to get it back to me when he can. I rotate cars. My cars are paid off and I don't worry about something breaking.
