    Just bought 2011 used.

    Wanted small truck for 3rd vehicle for truck errands. It will replace utility trailer. Seems in very good condition for a 2011. Expect to have it many years. Small folding seats in back seem almost useless, but are there.

    This is not a fancy truck and the ride is a bit stiff but it is a nice compact size while still providing all the benefits of owning a truck.

    Ranger fan

    Like the way it looks and reliability. MPG is disappointing, 16city/20hwy (not as good as my '03 Ranger). Sound-system not so great (better in my '03 Ranger). But, overall, very pleased. Used for both personal & construction work.

    It was a mistake to stop making these.

    I love my Ranger. I had a 2009 I gave to my son. 4 cylinder. It was a good truck too. My current Ranger is a 2011 model Sport 4x4 with 4.0 V6. The economy is not as good as the 2wd 4cylinder of course but it is acceptable. The truck can pull my 12ft trailer no problem. The cab is a little cramp but it is compact truck. I see the new Rangers are coming out but they are priced out of my range and are larger that I think they should be.
