"I'm a 21 year old man who works in wetland reconstruction. I needed a vehicle that was cheap, realiable, decent on gas and could haul around basic equipment with any hassle. I got all that and more from the ranger. I bought the sport 4X2, and I couldn't be happier. The drive is very comfortable, but the cab is a cramped if you are over 6'1. The 4.0L engine has plenty of guts, especially with the standard transmission, but isn't rediculous on gas as a full sized truck would be. Overall I love how basic and indestructible the ranger is. If you don't drive like a tool it'll handle well in bad weather and will deliver decent milage. It'll haul all your junk around without sweating and can tow the basics without having to run it to hard."

"This was not a new vehicle. It had 5600 miles on it, but still had the new car smell. I purchased it thru a dealer and got a fair price on my trade in and an excellent price on the Ford Ranger. I have owned it for about a month and really like the way it drives. The 4 cylinder engine is very economical, but not as quick as the 6 cylinder that I have been driving for the last 7 years. The listing on Cars.com matched the vehicle at the dealer exactly. Great way to locate your car."

"All the features that I want, without paying for the ones that I do not want. Excellent in the snow, comfortable on long road trips. Nice to have decent off road capability, also. A truly functional small truck, at a price (with incentives) that was competitive with used vehicles. This is not the truck if you want leather seats, and a full sized back seat. The jump seats offer a good enclosed cargo area, but it is not a place for an adult to sit for more than about 10 minutes. With the seatd in back folded up, it is a perfect spot for a Labrador Retriever."

"The Ford Ranger is the last of a dying breed, the compact pickup. The Ranger gets some of the best fuel economy in a truck you can buy these days (~24 MPG) in addition to being a very capable truck. The Ranger functions very well when towing smaller trailers or just throwing lumber in the bed. Just because the truck does not have a V8 doesn?t mean it is a handicapped truck. I have yet to haul anything and be nervous about it. I have just thrown 4x8 sheets of plywood and deck posts in the bed without any problem. Rangers are some of the most reliable trucks on the road, running basically forever. I?ve had this truck for the better part of a year, and it shows no signs of stopping, it?s just a perfectly reliable Ford. The engine is nothing to write home about. It?s not fast by any means, but the fact that it is a light and small pickup means that it?s not exactly slow. For most applications I have encountered, the Ranger is a more than adequate performer. My Ranger has the XLT trim package which comes with larger, fatter tires, remote start, a Ford bed liner, leather bed cover, Sirius Satellite Radio, and a multi disc CD changer. Everything works as advertised, and frankly everything is a bonus to have, but the XLT package is really only necessary for the bed liner and bed cover. These features are near unheard of on entry level trucks and are all quite nice to have. The interior is dated, but it?s not a deal breaker on the truck. The climate control knobs are very easy to understand and manipulate without taking too much thought. The cloth seats are actually very comfortable, considering the fact that you?re in a truck, and trucks don?t exactly have the smoothest of rides. The simplicity of the Ranger is part of its beauty. There are not 14 different trim levels to pick, for which I am grateful. The Ranger is just an incredible buy for the money. The comparable import models are all too large to fit the role of the Ranger and way more expensive than is reasonable. The Ranger is just a simple truck that functions incredibly well."

"Just bought my 2011 XLT 4x4. With all the rebates it cost less than the used 2010 on the lot. There are not many new 4x4 trucks you can drive off the lot under 19000. I got way more than I paid for."

"I got the 2011 Ford Ranger and I thing it runs very great. It is a very reliable truck for hauling things and transportation. The engine runs smoothly and your ride has a lot of comfort. The whole ride is smooth sailing."

"I had a 2000 ranger 3.0 auto that I drove 10 years. I was very happy with the way the xlt and trim appointments looked and functioned. As the truck was accumulating higher end mileage, I trades for a 2011 Ranger 4x4 sport and so far am very pleased. The Ford dealer has bent over backward to ensure I got what I wanted, bed liner. hitch package, paint details. I would suggest this truck to anyone looking for midsize truck. You better hurry as this is the last year!"

"I need to haul around 2 to 3 passengers and for some reason my husband chose this for me. The front seat blocks the back right window making a huge blind spot and handles not so great on gravel. Also ford has not added any bells or whistles as far as i can see this is not like a new car."

"I use this truck primarily for getting around but I need to haul things now and then for my farm. I have the I-4 with the 5 speed and have seen 30+ mpg highway driving several times. In town driving still gets at least 25 mpg. I bought this Ranger off a lot and it was cheap but it must have been a fleet version because it has no options. Perfect for running around and doing odd jobs."
