Used Ford Ranger for Sale

I named her Darwin, because she was a gift that was supposed to evolve into money. But she ended up actually evolving. I crashed her into a medium sized tree on a muddy road driving back to college one morning a few years back. She took it like a champ. I saw it coming and had just enough time to aim for that sweet spot on the bed of the truck between the rear tire and the back windows. I got really lucky and only dented the box. Although I was a little surprised when the air bag didn't pop out and hit me in the face. I hit the tree hard enough to rip it out of the ground and land on top of it. I thought she was done, but when a farmer pulled my truck off the tree I was able to drive her away. And continued to drive her after replacing the bed for 6 more years and 180,000 miles.

This is an excellent truck. I have been driving it for fourteen years and I have never had a major problem with it. Apart from a couple of minor incidents the only time it has been in the shop is for routine maintenance. It drives just as good today as it did fourteen years ago. If you are looking for a vehicle that you can put a lot of miles on and still maintain quality year in and year out then this truck is definitely for you.

I hate that this car had so many electrical problems that popped up due to one faulty wire. The AC, turn signals, and dashboard lights all went out due to one wire located in the steering wheel, shifter compartment. It was a pain to get to but easy to fix. I love that this truck had a sidestep to it. Nothing like being able to vault yourself into the bed in one single step. It gets about 12 mpg which absolutely sucks! The truck isn't really comfortable, nor is it uncomfortable. There is a lot of cabin noise. I enjoyed taking this thing off road. I only got it stuck once. I wished it was a stick shift. The acceleration isn't bad for a truck but there is a lot of rev time before torque kicks in. Braking absolutely sucks, this thing does not stop on a dime. Your turning radius is limited. don't try a 3 point turn in a single lane road, it will end up being something like a 5 point turn. There isn't really any blind spots. I liked the look of the truck when I first purchased it, but now I am ready for something newer.
