I purchased a new XL, I-4, ext cab, 6ft bed in 2006 for $13k. In 12 years I put 60k miles on it. There was no issues requiring parts or maintenance in that time. I sold it in 2018 for $7k, an extremely good value.

Best vehicle I've had hands down. Albeit first truck too so take it with a grain of salt I suppose. But I absolutely love this truck I was trying to find my exact model here but didn't see it yet but mine is the XL trim with single cab 7 foot bed and I actually use it for food delivery and it's been unbelievably reliable even putting over 100 miles a day on her. Not only that but resale value has gone UP. (Trade in slightly down, private sale up)

It does not have any technology nor bells n whistles etc. not the most comfortable or luxurious either. My 06 sport 3.0 Ranger is the most reliable, dependable and simple vehicle I have ever owned. It was made solid and designed to last. I got it used 2 years with about 18k miles for about 11700 from a dealer. It is now over 100k and over 15 years old and still runs great and reliable. I still drive it often and it does what I need. It’s more reliable than my 2017 RAM 1500.

Just got my THIRD recall for the same thing! How many times do they have to change the airbags before they get it right?!?! VERY inconvenient!

I have never been stuck or stranded with this 2006 Ranger Sport and I have owned it since it was new off the lot. It has the 3.0 six engine and it is not a 4x4 but very reliable. All I do is run four snow tires on an extra pair or rims in the winter and toss a few bags of tube sand in the back and I am good to go. Dosent have the bed space of the bogger trucks but I always haul my needed items home from the depot stores just fine. I do not feel the need to support the oil companies and the politicians like those guys that buy a giant truck just to cruise around in.

I has good motor in it . It does burn oil. Who ever owned this truck took very good care of it . It has 71000 miles on it in13 years.

Nothing to write home about in the power or fuel economy areas but no problems or breakdowns in 12 years/ 94,000 miles. I would have to say it runs as good now as when I bought it.

Fairly cheap on fuel,perfect for commuting and hauling light loads. Looks great outside and inside.Easy to work on and cheap for parts. My dog loves it as well.

This truck is reliable and long lasting. The interior has what you need without feeling cluttered. The trim is sporty and the bed liner is next to indestructible.
