I have owned 7 and all have been reliable

This truck meets all of my needs, hauling and on the road travel. It has enough power to even pull medium to small trailers. This makes it a very versatile vehicle for me.

Outstanding truck

I have owned 3 F-150s and 2 Rangers. The Rangers were exceptional small trucks with a great service record. Routine maintenance was al that was required.

Trusty 3.0L Ranger

The Ranger has been extremely reliable for us. We currently have 111k miles on it and have spent very little in maintenance. Keep up on the oil changes and fix the little things helps avoid expensive repairs. Interior design is simple and straightforward. The seats get a little stiff after sitting in them for awhile. The back jump seats are best just folded up and using the rear portion for storage. Nice to have in a pinch though. As others said, the 3.0L is underpowered but is very reliable.

It?s a RANGER!! Need I say more!!

This car met all of our needs for our family. The 4x4 was a must for Alaska conditions. We also upgraded the truck with an auto start; another bonus for winter driving! The blizzak tires were also outstanding during the winter. This was a very safe and reliable truck. We are a family of four and we?re all able to fit: the kids enjoyed the backseat. However I would not recommend as a family car or for kids older than 10 to sit in the backseat as it would be a tight fit. The bed size was perfect for us as we used the truck to move furniture when we first moved here and to hold camping supplies. This was the perfect size truck for carrying items and transporting our family!!!

Great Truck for the money

I owned it for about a year and would get another except I needed a bigger truck. Perfect truck to haul\ things with taking the space of a full size truck.

Good Utility Vehicle

Sturdy, reliable utility truck for hauling small loads (with a trailer or in the bed. The extended cab is great for small loads on a rainy day. The engine performs well, and the handling is better than expected.
