Solid little truck.

Super reliable little truck! Not the most modern or most comfortable or most powerful, but it gets the work done and doesn’t cost too much out of pocket. It’s really easy to drive in the city and park too, making it a great urban work vehicle. There’s a reason you see lots of these around

I love this truck

I bought a 2003 xlt Supercab 2dr 4wd 4.0L manual a few weeks back and I love it. I installed LED dome lights and rear side seats and so far all the work I've done has been very easy. I came into the truck knowing nothing about drum brakes, but got both sides fixed up very easily. the truck has great power for the size and I don't see myself wishing I had more. the one complaint I do have is that the speed is capped electronically at 90 mph, and from what I've found an ECU tune is needed to get rid of it. Great truck and I definitely don't see this being the last ranger I buy

I don’t really know. It’s still in the shop.

I needed a backup vehicle. I wanted a small pickup. I hope it works out for me. I like what I’ve seen so far and test drove it.

Great trucks , this is my 5th Ranger.

I'm in the painting business for 40 years and I only drive Ford Rangers. These trucks are strong workhorses and last a long time. I get tired of them before they get tired of me.

Very Reliable

Solid, affordable work / everyday truck. Needs regular maintenance but nothing is too expensive to fix. Most affordable commuter truck Ive ever owned by far.

Very reliable truck

This has been a great truck for the past 16 years. It's great on gas and has the best a/c of any vehicle I have ever owned. I have hauled furniture, dirt and bricks in the past and it has the power for many other jobs. Excellent vehicle.

Most reliable truck i have owned.

This truck has met all my needs. When I out the key into ignition, it fires up, no questions asked. When it comes to reliability, Ford is number one.
