General CommentsI love this truck. Mine is the 2003 FX4 version, 5-spd manual, 4.0l. As my title says, they haven't changed much since, like 94' I think. That is why I chose this vehicle. When I bought it, I was was getting rid of a VW passat that was riddled with problems. So I looked at this ranger and said to myself, "they've been with the same body style for a decade, with basically the same motor, they must be doing something right!" So I bought mine with 58,000 miles on it and currently have it at 83,000. I have not had to have anything repaired on it whatsoever. I just take it in for basic maintenance. I am now considering getting something else only because gas prices are climbing and the mileage is not so great. But hopefully I will get a second car because this ranger will be hard to part with.
Has the reviewer attended an auto show in the past year? No
Yes, I recommend this vehicle.
Pros Extremely Reliable, Makes Great Work Truck, Perfect First Vehicle, Great A/C and Heater, Great Value if Purchase from a Private Seller.
Cons A little small up front for three people, but that's what the bed is for, right?
General CommentsI purchased mine at the dealer for way more then it costs from a private seller. Other than that, this truck has never broke down on my at all, or had any leaks of anything minor either. I have 96000 miles on mine and counting.
