"I noticed while looking through the pictures of this vehicle that the shift lever is on the steering column. This truck is listed as a 5 speed manual. What gives?"

"used cars.com and did heavy research on ford rangers before I picked the year and model I wanted. Took my time and after 6 months I found my new baby on this website! After driving it, the dealer gave me a great deal! Thank you for your website!"

"Bought it new in 2002 XLT model extended cab 4x2 and now has 205,000 mi with no problems. Had to replace trans at 94,000 due to bad converter,otherwise no problems at all,can't kill this thing! I just do the normal maint. at the local Ford dealer. Keep thnking about replacing it,but why should I. Runs great ,but starting to show it's age because I don't wax as often as I should. Ford made a mistake by not building the Ranger any more."

"redhot and fun, we are really enjoying it. Great mpg compared to our former suv. We actually have two Rangers, the above mentioed and a 1992, my hubby drives "whitie" most of the time, with fuel prices he loves getting 24+ mpg"

"I have owned several Ford trucks, but my 2002 Ranger FX4 has cost me more money in maintenance costs in the last four years, that I could have bought the truck all over again. I have always kept meticulous care and maintained regularly per the recommended service intervals. Regardless of my preventative measures, the rear end, the transmission and the transfer case failed and had to be rebuilt; a computer module, two in-tank fuel pumps, EGR valve, O2 sensor and mass air flow meter have all failed as well. The insulating moulding around the doors don't seal properly and road noise is heard. The truck has 123k miles. The 4.0L engine is great."

"If you need to tow yachts every day, the Ranger probably is not for you; get a Super Duty diesel. The Ranger also might not be right for you if you need a car that does 70+ mpg; get a Fiesta ECOnetic diesel. If you want something that can haul normal loads, cruise around at 25 mpg, and actually start in Winter, then the Ranger is definitely a good choice. Mine is 10 years old, nearing 150k miles, and is still running as well as the day I took it for the test drive. It is the most reliable, comfortable and practical vehicle I have ever owned It just never lets me down. In fact, aside from regular scheduled maintenance my truck has needed only 4 minor repairs, all of which were cases of me letting it down - not the other way around. I love this truck. It has served me very well, and I hope it continues to do so for a long time."

"I have the 02 ranger 4x4 with the 4.0 liter engine. runs great. i can literally do anything with this truck. ive towed cars, hauled 40 heavy bags of mulch several times, and taken the truck offroading almost every day, no problems. exceptional in sand, mud, and snow in both 2wd mode and 4wd mode. as for fuel economy i cant really complain at all, 22 mpg with the 4.0 and plenty of power. the only thing i would change would be to make the extended cab a bit bigger, enough room for a full rear bench seat as opposed to the rear jump seats. although i am more of a full size truck kinda guy, the ranger will always be one of my favorite vehicles."

"About the only thing I would change would be to replace the sideways facing ''jump seats" with a small forward facing split bench seat like the one in the F-150.The only people that can fit back there are children and they do not like facing each other,95% of the time the seat is folded up and the space is used for storage."
