Ford Ranger Usados en Venta en Chicago, IL

I purchased the 2004 Ford Ranger from a classmate from high school. I drove it for a few years before the transmission gave out. The vehicle was pure white body color. The vehicle had the benefit of being small while also have a pickup truck body. Therefore I could haul heavy things in it and still have no problems parking or storing the vehicle anywhere. The transmission went out which could have been due to previous ownership rather than an inherent defect in the vehicle. The gas mileage was decent despite it being a truck. I felt it could have been better but I also would haul trailers with it and would drive it rough so that contributed to a lesser than expected gas mileage. The tradeoff for the size of the vehicle was that the passenger and driver compartments had limited room. Therefore if the driver is of a large frame they may want to thoroughly test drive the vehicle for comfort reasons. The cup holder was good on the vehicle and I had no problems holding my morning coffee. The lights and air conditioning and heating worked fine as well. My work materials would usually be in the bed of the truck which had plenty of room. Overall I would buy a vehicle of this make and model again but of course a newer year.

The Ford Ranger is an excellent truck. I have put over 230,000 miles on it and it's still running strong. There are no rattles and it is as solid as it was back when it was new. I have had no issues with anything on the truck. As long as you complete the scheduled maintenance and checkups the Ford Ranger will last you a long time. The interior is definitely dated as this truck is almost 20 years old. I have upgraded the stereo so I can play music off of my phone and I had to replace the speakers in the door of the truck as they blew out a few years back. Other than that, this has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned and I would highly recommend it to anyone. The fuel economy is not up to par with newer vehicles and you will receive lower performance if you are not keeping up with the scheduled maintenance. The styling is dated as it is an older truck but it's a practical vehicle that will allow you to haul lumber, washers and dryers, bikes, motorcycles, I've put a canoe back there, pretty much anything you need you can haul. I've hauled chopped wood for fires, goats, friends, beer. This will haul almost as much as the newer F150s I see driving around with the extended cab. I'm not sure what the point is in having an extended cab truck as you lose all that hauling capacity. The Ranger doesn't have a lot of get up and go but it will get the job done and then some!
