Best vehicle all the same.

Purchased my XL Extended cab new in 1995. Four cylinder engine, but with the dual plug system. Has 243,000 miles on it, at 236K replaced the timing belt, simply replaced the clutch, at 210K did supercede some front steering parts, found out the youngsters ran it in the ditch, kids! So far I have yet to tune it up, only keeps running and running. Best vehicle ever equally far as I'm concerned, information technology was a daily commuter car but has been relegated to work around the neighborhood. Don't know if I can part with it even though I purchased a new vehicle.

It speaks for itself. I've owned information technology for 24 years. I LOVE MY TRUCK! The dealership service department did not fix my truck the first time and on the second time messed up the odometer/trip!

This truck just keeps going! Ranger engines congenital earlier year 2000 are known as 'Die Difficult'. If you demand a basic work truck or logroller-upper this is the ane for y'all! Only 2 owners, new brakes and power boosters, bed liner good condition.

Best Vehicle Owned!

My ranger is the most reliable and economical vehicle I take e'er owned. Mine is a four cylinder so gets bully gas mileage. Great little commuter and I practice non haul large or heavy items then a bigger truck is a huge waste matter of money. I wish the car makers would continue the midsized truck pocket-sized or midsized. All the new Ranger, Colorado, Tacoma's are getting and so big and expensive, you might as well go a full size. Love my 96 ranger!
