Most reliable truck Ever

Had this Ranger for 14 years. Never had any major problems. Only sold it to downsize to an SUV. Stayed with the Ford brand. It is still on the road and is being used to tow.

Most reliable truck I?ve ever owned

This truck met all my needs. I used it for my landskaping business and even used it for pizza delivery. Then it was a reliable transport for work everyday.

It?s never left me stranded

It?s slow. It?s old. It gets horrible gas mileage. You can?t comfortably fit more than two people in it. BUT... it?s done everything I?ve ever needed it to do. It?s never left me stranded on the side of the road. Had some good times in it. Would I recommend it? If you?re a young person or you are unable to afford a fancy new truck, it will certainly get the job done.

Best truck I have ever had, and it was the first.

This vehicle is very reliable, and I love the new rims that where put on when I got it. The elevation of my truck is probably the biggest pro of it.

Mechanically great - new interior, battery, tires

This truck will run forever. It is mechanically sound with practically new interior, new battery and new tires. Just put $1,000 into it. I am listing it for a price that is fair (medium book). On the exterior the clear coat is peeling so if you want it to look new you will have to buff this out and redo it. If you need a reliable vehicle to get to work or for a work vehicle this is perfect.

Great truck

My 2004 Ranger 4x4 XLT currently has 308,000 miles on it and does not waste a drop of fluids, engine runs great and is still strong. I would drive this truck cross country today if I needed to. Purchased it new for 18,000, wish I could afford a new one, sadly all trucks are overpriced today.
