Ford Rangers are good trucks

Very reliable, sturdy truck, nice designing and style, great work truck, best midsize truck I've ever had, lasts forever, gas mileage could be better but overall great vehicle

4.9

Practical , Fun to Drive and 4Wheel Drive when you

Plenty of space, rides high to see the traffic ahead of you , 4 Wheel comes very handy , weather it's wet grass for your kids games or a foot of snow . Nothing better then to have that luxery when you need it !

Snow plow truck

When I purchased the 2005 Ranger 4x4 I knew it needed tires and I had new snow tires installed within 3 days of purchase and also put 420 lbs of sand in a bag in the pickup bed and this truck does a great job of snow removal while I'm inside the cab toasty warm. Please note that the only reason for purchasing this truck is for snow removal of my driveway of over 600 ft not Off-Roading.
