Used Ford Ranger for Sale in Buffalo, NY

We needed to replace our car because it had come to the end of its life. My kids had grown up and moved from home. I wanted a little pickup truck so I could bring home things easily for maintaining our home, and carry my art equipment and projects to wherever I went. It is doing well. I put together my wish list for my second-hand truck: small, fuel economy, small engine, extended cab but no back seat, regular bed, body in good shape, from original owner, “lived” in a snow-free and ocean-free area, low mileage, and in excellent shape. I finally found a used car dealer who was willing to hunt for my truck, instead of trying to talk me into buying what he had on his lot. My mechanic told me that I wanted a Ford. After test driving what other dealers had on their lots, I agreed. This dealer found exactly what I wanted in just a few minutes. He had access to an online database, and knew which sellers were trustworthy, and which ones to avoid.

I bought the truck and initially drove it back and forth to college. The extended cab on the truck help me move in and out of my dorm room several times. The truck also has the tow package and I've towed campers/trailers of varying sizes with that. Since I have owned the truck It has never left me stranded anywhere. I can rely on it to get me where ever I happen to want it to go. Many friends ask me to help them move or carry large items for them since I can fit just about anything.

The Ford Ranger is a highly coveted truck for those who want the versatility of a truck without the heavy-duty horsepower. The XLT has a v6 engine. This puts it in the category of larger trucks such as the F150 and Dodge Ram. However, with a smaller, lighter body, it gets better gas mileage than either of those models. The crew cab is somewhat lack-luster, providing only cramped jumper seats. The Rangers have great engines, from the oldest to newest models. However, the bodies are not so great. In places where the roads get salted in winter, it is a good idea to seal the bottom of the truck. Otherwise rust will start to eat at the engine mounts and body after a few years. Otherwise, it is a good solid small truck for those who want both good gas mileage and versatility.
