GREAT MPG ON 2010 RANGER 4 CYL...

This 4 cyl manual regular cab Ranger is great on gas!! On the rain the added safety skid features kick in and help out a lot in bad weather. The bad: Ford needs to relocate that thick wire harness away from clutch pedal. Some Rangers will slightly lean to driver's side. Ford needs to put gas tank on center of truck. FRONT SHOCKS ARE TOO SOFT AND IT CAN BOTTOM OUT IF YOU DRIVE ON THE AGGRESSIVE SIDE. The Good: Good acceleration on the 4 cyl. THE AC IS COLD COLD COLD NO BS!! NO RATTLES AND EVERYTHING FEELS SOLID INSIDE CABIN. Engine still performs well even with a full size ATV on the back of Ranger.

best mid-size truck

Have owned 4 Rangers and when it comes to a rugged mid-size truck you can't beat it. If you want a work horse buy a Ranger if your'e looking for a want - a - be truck then buy a Tacoma.

This is dependability at it's best

I have owned Rangers since 1985 and all of them had plows. Two of them went 200,000 miles plus. The last one went 75,000 miles with the only maintenance required was oil changes,unfortunitly I rolled that one 2 1/2 times but opened the door and walked away without a scratch.This truck is the most dependable and safe compact truck around. The rumor is that Ford is dropping it after this year and if they think the F150 will pick up the slack they will soon find out that their customers will go to Toyota or Nissans instead.

Great little truck!

I bought my 2010 Ranger Sport Supercab 4X4 to replace an '06 Dodge Dakota. It rides just as well as the Dakota, and gets much better mileage. With a 4.0L V6 and manual 5-speed, I'm averaging 18.5 MPG in mixed driving, with 23 MPG on a trip. It does lack a little torque compared to a V8, but not enough to hinder towing at all (I tow a 1500lb. trailer regularly and it handles that with no problems). I like the retro styling of the interior - I don't need a pilot's license to figure out the friggin' stereo! All-in-all, it's a great truck and serves my purposes well.

Work Truck

I purchased my 2010 Ranger to use as a work truck. I needed a dependable, fuel efficient small truck to use in my lawn care business. I often pull a small trailer to haul lawn equipment. The Ranger pulls the trailer fine around town and is adequate on the highway but strains a little on hills. Otherwise the truck performs well. The only issues I have encountered are somewhat limited visibility on the driver side looking back - the headrest and driver side back post block visibility and create blind spots in my regular cab pickup. I get 23-25 mpg with regular driving and 17-18 mpg when pulling my trailer.

great truck for short people

Great little truck gets good marks for appearance, durability and value. better than most foreign full size because its not trying to be a car. Unfortunately, being over six foeet tall , there is not much leg room. decided to keep my old truck with 192400 miles and still runs and looks good (big crew cab, dually, long bed. But long since paid for and comfortable as can be. To replace it today would cost about $45 to $50,000. sorry O.B.
