2003 Ford Ranger review
I bought a 2003 xlt Supercab 2dr 4wd 4.0L manual a few weeks back and I love it. I installed LED dome lights and rear side seats and so far all the work I've done has been very easy. I came into the truck knowing nothing about drum brakes, but got both sides fixed up very easily. the truck has great power for the size and I don't see myself wishing I had more. the one complaint I do have is that the speed is capped electronically at 90 mph, and from what I've found an ECU tune is needed to get rid of it. Great truck and I definitely don't see this being the last ranger I buy

Suburban Ford of Sterling Heights review
My recall service appointment on 9/7/23 was reschedule by Jason Jackson. The reason was the tech going to be out for my original appointment which was 9/8/23. Jason Jackson service consultant at Suburban took care of me very well, I also ask him can we do the works package for an oil change with tire rotation. He said sure we can fit that in with your recall. Jason customer service is always on point and over the top.
1999 Ford F-150 review
Bought 99 xlt 4x4 in 2015. I live in Iowa. I do a lot of hunting and wood hauling. So I use the 4x4 a lot. I pull a 5x8x3 trailer when wood cutting and load the truck and trailer down heavy. She grunts a little but enough power there to get it done. Only been stuck in the snow once due to clearance and have tested it's yanking power pulling bigger vehicles out that were in there pretty good. It's supposed me. I've replaced minimal parts. Gas tank was the biggest chore. Standard rust out. Biggest engine problem to diagnose was the fuel filter. Engine knocks like a diesel engine but has plenty of power and keeps on ticking. Change oil every 5k or close to it. Plenty of cab room and leg room. Maintenance has been minimal I guess. Would buy another if the deal was right. Current mileage 186kish. It's due for some bigger maintenance now. Front end parts kit brakes rotors all around and rear seals. Not bad for a truck that's seen a lot more gravel roads than hiways. Rust is average. Rocker panels and starting on the front of box. It's been a good truck.

Rush City AutoReviews
Rush City Auto review
Bought a rust free, 77,000 mile 2000 Ford Taurus from Dustin at Rush City Auto Sales on Jan. 31, 2026 for $4,000. My formula for a great deal on a used car is $100/month driveable car. So, if this Taurus is driveable for 40 months at U.S. average 12K miles/year, that equates to around 77,000 miles + 36,000 miles + 4 X $100/month = 117,000 miles. Will the all iron Ford V6 Vulcan V6 engine make it to 117,000 miles? xxxx yes!
2011 Ford Ranger review
I've bought a used 2011 ranger in 2019. Its never failed to start and get me to where I needed to go. Only getting rid of it as my needs have changed. One negative is the regular cab space can be tight if you going on a longer trip.

2003 Ford Ranger review
Super reliable little truck! Not the most modern or most comfortable or most powerful, but it gets the work done and doesn’t cost too much out of pocket. It’s really easy to drive in the city and park too, making it a great urban work vehicle. There’s a reason you see lots of these around

Lee Sapp FordReviews
Lee Sapp Ford review
Buying from Lee Sapp Ford was a genuinely great experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt comfortable and welcomed. I had a lot of questions, but Gavin was phenomenal—patient, knowledgeable, and never pushy. He really took the time to understand my needs and shared his own experience, which helped me feel confident in my decision. This was my first big truck purchase, and I was driving over 3 hours to test drive and complete the deal. Thankfully, everything was smooth—paperwork ready, trade-in handled, no surprises. I’d been searching for this specific truck for a couple of years, and finally found it here in Ashland. I’m glad I made the trip.
1993 Ford Ranger review
I'm at almost 600k miles with my '93 Ranger XL with the 2.3L and 5 speed manual. Have never had to open the engine up. Only major parts I've had to replace were a couple starter motors, 3 timing belts, an alternator or two, and a water pump (soon to get another one). Had to also get new synchronizers at about 400k miles. Put in a new slave cylinder while I had the transmission apart. Obviously, I've also had a couple mufflers and one catalytic converter, as well has air filters, plugs, and things like that. The only issue I've ever had other than normal wear has been the front wheel bearings. I've replaced more of those than I would have thought. But otherwise, I'm going to drive this truck into the ground! Wondering if it's got 400k more in her. It would be so cool to have a cheap little truck make it to two commas!

1994 Ford Ranger review
I own a 1994 Ford Ranger Splash edition. I've owned her since 1996. Original blue color. Automatic and electric windows. She came with a hard top teneau cover for bed of the truck. I have over 200,000 miles on her and have had very little work done on it. Very well built truck. I get compliments on it all the time. She looks brand new. People are surprised when I tell them she's 31 years old. Built in 1994.

2001 Chevrolet S-10 review
I've owned my S10 Tahoe since 1986. I special ordered it from the factory. It's been a great truck. The 2.8L has just enough power to stay out of trouble and never get stuck, and has been rock solid reliable for 36 years. I hunt, fish, tow a boat & cut firewood with it. It gets me where I need to go.

I bought it used and looked into numbers that this little 03 S10 has a regular LS step side extended body , it caught my eye because it had a SS hood and a Extreme front and back bumpers. After buying it i looked up numbers to find out that it has a SS drive train along with possi, and a Extreme chasse . Love that parts are everywhere.

1996 Ford Ranger review
I had my 96 until I was T-Boned at a stop light while visiting Spokane. The air bags actually deployed in spite of the vehicle being over 24 years old. I was amazed and it probably saved me from broken bones or a skull fracture. I was sad to see this vehicle go because it was totaled and there is nothing out there that even compares to the great years of service. The model I had included a 3.3L v6 and Posi traction drivetrain with the full towing package. I hauled heavy items across the cascades several times without an issue.
