Used Ford Ranger for Sale

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 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.

My Ford Ranger is a good truck, and a good 4x4. I have been driving the truck for 14 years, and the engine has held up nicely. Unfortunately, this model gets terrible mileage, and the inside has worn out before the outside did, so almost everything in the cabin is broken or ragged. Also, the vehicle makes a squealing noise when it is less than 30 degrees outside. The squeal is caused by a rubbing dust seal, and is fairly expensive to fix, even though the part is only a few dollars. For this reason, the truck will continue to squeal until I have the front hubs or bearings replaced. Performance wise, the truck is very reliable, and does well in mud and snow. Unfortunately, the truck is not a great family vehicle, and as my children get bigger, it is sometimes difficult to use this truck for primary transportation. Though it has an extended cab, the seats do not have enough range of motion to accommodate a lot of getting in and out of the truck. The Ranger is a good truck, but the gas mileage is not economical, and there isn’t enough room for a family. I probably would not buy another Ranger for this reason.
