Great all around truck

Reliable transportation for the two of us... with an added lid on the back, we can carry just about anything. Would buy again without reservation.

Love it so much I still drive it after 15 years.

Purchased my 2003 Ranger new. How much do I like this truck. Here's how much; just got Pennsylvania Classic Car plates for it (86K miles). Everything is original except the tires and brakes. Except for a few scratches it looks like it just came off the assembly line when I get it detailed. Would like to give this to my grandson to drive but I fear I will not be able to afford a new one. So sad.

Best Compact Pickup I've ever owned

Had this for 3 years and never had any problems. Great V6 power, tows well and gets better in the dirt! 4.0L V6 4X4 with the FX4 package.

Danger Ranger for the W

I own a 03 ford ranger 4x4 4.0. She Rips I have the 5-speed version and haven't had a problem with it all I have done is oil changes. Ive towed everything the ranger hasn't been rated for and handles it like a champ. Its rare to find a quality ranger now because everyone has owned one but when you find one get it!!!!! I've been working in the middle of nowhere for the last 6 months the ranger is an offroading machine. I have worked with a f-250 ad a nissan titian and neither can do what the ranger can and hasent broken like the others.

I love my little Red RangerXLT

I bought my Ford Ranger New in 2005 Ranger XLT 2 wheel drive with Supercab, it is bright Red, and still looks brand new! It has 3.0 engine with the 5 speed automatic with tow package! I broke it in to run, putting in a K$N air filter at 17,000 miles, and Cooper Cobra GTs! I?ve never taken it off road because of the high performance tires! And it will out run about any car that gets behind in corners! It?s got all the power it needs, and will smoke the tires off of it, if you wanted to! It was my 1st and only new truck, and I love it! Definitely a better truck than a Chevrolet S10!
