1988 Ford Ranger - Best Truck I've ever owned

I've owned two Ford Rangers, one was black and the other was a golden color with some modifications made to the trunk. I bought both insanely cheap (one only costing a measly $400 off the side of a road) and the other was more substantial but still very much cheaper. Being as I travel to Canada a lot, its saved my butt a few times as well. The switchable 4x4 option really helped me out of a bind when the snow had gotten so deep that it was above the tire rims. Sadly, my black Ranger was set on fire when I visited Toronto once - so I had to strip the insides. However, the truck is so common that it isn't hard to find parts at all in a junkyard or something.

Pros

-Switchable 4x4 Drive -Solid little truck -Usually pretty cheap -Easy to find replacement parts

Cons

-Passenger area is a bit tight -Transmission is somewhat prone to going out if too much strain is put on it over the years

1993 Ford Ranger - Great 4x4, reliable and easy to work on.

My Ford Ranger has been one reliable vehicle. I can let it sit for a month, and it will start right up. When I have had issues with it, the truck is very easy to work on yourself, and there is a wealth of information on quick fixes for common issues with the truck. Gas mileage is decent for a 4x4 truck. Speaking of 4x4, the truck has never left me stuck. It is an absolute joy to drive off road. I would probably purchase another one some day as this generation of the Ranger specifically is the best for driving off road. Great cheap truck.

Story

I went through a mud puddle to the point where the truck was up to its headlights in mud and water. I just kept on the gas, and it chugged right through with no issues. It was a great experience.

Pros

Easy to work on. Great performance off road. Gas mileage is decent. Parts are very easy to find. There is a great community around Rangers that is very helpful if you need advice on how to fix things. Tough as nails and always stars up.

Cons

There is a lack of power, which is an issue. The electronics are iffy at best and go out often. It has a very small cab. If you have a manual transmission, if the slave cylinder goes out, it requires you to drop the transmission, unlike most vehicles where you can change it out on the outside of the transmission. It is a very expensive repair.
