Best vehicle yet.

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, just replaced the clutch, at 210K did replace some front end steering parts, found out the youngsters ran it in the ditch, kids! So far I accept yet to tune it upwards, just keeps running and running. Best vehicle ever as far as I'm concerned, it was a daily commuter car but has been relegated to work around the neighborhood. Don't know if I can office with it even though I purchased a new vehicle.

This truck just keeps going! Ranger engines built before year 2000 are known as 'Die Hard'. If you need a basic work truck or fixer-upper this is the one for y'all! But two owners, new brakes and power boosters, bed liner good condition.

Peachy trucks all have been practiced to me. The eighths was the best trucks. Wish they would first making them once more. The 99 I have now needs some forepart piece of work from rust but still runs keen.

Best Vehicle Owned!

My ranger is the most reliable and economical vehicle I have ever owned. Mine is a 4 cylinder so gets bang-up gas mileage. Great little driver and I do non haul large or heavy items and so a bigger truck is a huge waste of money. I wish the auto makers would keep the midsized truck modest or midsized. All the new Ranger, Colorado, Tacoma'south are getting then large and expensive, you might also get a full size. Honey my 96 ranger!
