    Look, I work in the mines for 2 years as a young bloke, I got my first car, PK xl turbo diesel turbo diesel 2011 ford ranger with 105k km and my god it's the worst car. IV spent triple of what I bought it for and it was in good condition second hand at a dealership, broken down 5 times and had to get towed so many times. And when it shifts gears it is clunky as xxxx, had to get a new gearbox. IV gotten it taken to the mechanic countless times. It's a lemon, my father told me to get a LandCruiser I should've listened now IV spent 30k on a ford that I wouldn't be able to sell for 10k or more.

    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.
