This review is about A 2001, I had once. Lost it in a Bank rupture. Just love the truck. Mine was the 4.0 V6 wonderful engine.

Nothing but issues, rust started under 20 thousand kms. Transmission is sloppy. Doors have locked them selves while running with my dog locked inside twice. Breaks had to be replaced at 40 thousand kms Absolutely terrible customer service. Non existent really.

I bought my Ranger XLT with FX4 off-road package new in 2002. 21 years and still going strong. 5-speed manual with manual transfer case. I can honestly say it's the best vehicle I've owned in 40 years of driving, even outperforming/outlasting the VWs and Audis I've owned. It's a phenomenal light truck. To be fair, I've always owned 2 vehicles, so it splits miles with another, but is going strong at 140,500. Maintenance has been minimal....tires, batteries, shocks, U-joints, water pump went out once. The body and frame are in exceptional condition due to being used mostly in the Inland Northwest and Alaska, where salts/melting agents aren't used on the roads. I've had several offers from folks offering to buy, but I never will. I simply can't replace it with the money I could get. For hunting, fishing, camping, back roads, mud trails it is near unbeatable. And my personal pontoon boat for fly fishing slides in perfectly.
