1999 Ford Ranger - A Great Little Red Truck

I bought this truck in 1999 and paid cash. It is a basic, no nonsense model. It is bright red with manual transmission, manual windows, and a rear view mirror that likes to fall off about once a year. This truck has over 140,000 miles on it and still has its shiny coat and no dents. It has had a minimal amount of mechanical difficulties despite having had to put up with three teenage drivers trying to learn stick shift. The truck has had many successful state inspections and rarely needs anything more than brakes. The only body damage was when a bungie cord accidentally snapped against the rear window, causing it to shatter in many pieces of safety glass. The bed of the truck still has its original liner and it looks as good as it did when it was new. The upholstery inside is a... (more)

Story

My daughter and I used the truck to move her out of her college apartment. All of her stuff fit in the bed of the truck but we could not completely secure the mattress. When we went up hills, the mattress looked like it was hanging out the back. As we went back down the hills, the mattress pressed against the back window. We made it home!

Pros

The top positives are: great gas mileage, enough room for three men in the cab, adequate room in the bed, and a fairly comfortable ride.

Cons

The manual transmission can get a bit touchy as the truck has gotten older and the air conditioner has needed several tune-ups through the years.

1997 Ford Ranger - Ford Ranger - Dependable small truck that can do it all

The 1997 Ford Ranger has been a reliable truck for me for the last six years that I have owned it. It's four-wheel drive capabilities are great and have gotten me through six northeast winters. The interior is simple in design but provides everything you need. It has allowed for easy adaption of an aftermarket radio, and the speakers provide excellent sound quality.

Story

The truck has taken me to numerous different state parks that I mountain bike at.

Pros

The best thing about the Ford Ranger is the accessibility and ease of working on it. Over the six years that I have owned it, I have been able to complete most of the work that the truck has required, such as replacement of parts that wear out such as breaks, shocks, etc. The truck is perfect for anyone who is into biking and mountain biking. The truck bed is 4ft wide by 6ft long, allowing for just about anything you need to fit inside of it.

Cons

The biggest negative about the truck is that after 21 years on the road, it needs work just about every year. But that is something that any vehicle this old would need, you just need to have the will to fix things each year that you own it.
