2005 Ford Ranger consumer reviews

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

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 !

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.

With the v 6 and 4x4 great around town. But lost it on the black ice and mud up in Canada. Only 4x4 i ever got stuck in. Rides nice, powerful. I was very happy with it. Just a good city toy truck for little jobs.

The Ranger is good for work, driving to and from places and having fun. This is the first vehicle I bought used with 73,000 miles. It is the XLT Supercab(no fold down seats or clamshell door though), leather 60/40 seat and has the 4.0L SOHC V6 with the 5-speed automatic and 4x4. I put a new radio head unit in, new rims and tires, and painted over some messed up parts of paint. It can haul a heavy livestock trailer surprisingly well, carry wood and tools, groceries, and a friend if needed. And it definitely can spin the tires. No problems there. Turns surprisingly sharp and is good for getting around towns and cities. The power is good for its size and can get up to speed quickly. The passenger space and fuel economy are the only 2 slight cons. It's only practical to carry 1 passenger but can carry 2 friends if they're willing to squeeze in. The fuel economy isn't the best but not bad. As of prices now, (2.80 per gallon), it takes around 40 to fill it completely and lasts for the week. You can customize this truck in many ways, from making it an offroad beast to a highway racer. I absolutely love it and plan on keeping it forever. It's an amazing truck that is a great first car for not only working but for play and traveling too. Definitely consider buying one.

Very reliable 4.0 engine. Great in snow - 4 WD - not great gas mileage, excellent work truck - not to big to access truck bed.

This is a Great truck for personal or business use. Priced right. Needs nothing, but a new owner to continue taking good care of it.

This was my company vehicle from the time it was new, I bought it when it became available for an extra vehicle so it's a 2 owner 1 driver truck. This truck was fleet maintained for most of its miles.

it is amazing definatly buying it, fits all my needs and more cant wait to take it home love this truck there is a word minimum so i am currently rambling

Good for hauling equipment and picking up wood supplies for home shop as well as garden suppies. We also use as a quick run around town for stuff.
