Used Ford Ranger for Sale

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.

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.

Overall, I have a good truck. I think I may have paid too much (5k for a 11-year-old truck with 100k miles). But it gets me were I need to go and is a good little truck.
