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.

1998 Ford Ranger - Overall, great truck!

Overall, this is a great vehicle. With over 250,000 miles on it, there are no major issues that have come up . The size of the truck is much smaller than newer trucks, which is great for living in the city and being able to park wherever. Paired with 4WD and a manual transmission, this is a vehicle that will last forever and can get you anywhere whether it is the country or the city.

Story

Hunting in the fall and getting stuck with two deer in the back and having to get tow straps out to make it out.

Pros

Perfect size for just about anything. Small enough to run errands around town and be able to park in any parking spot but also big enough to use as a work truck and haul materials or trailers around. Manual transmission and 4WD. Makes it great for living in the country where some roads are dirt and don't get plowed or cleared and some days are just covered in mud. It allows for you to get yourself out of just about any situation that you would come across.

Cons

This vehicle is no longer made the same. A new one was introduced; however, it is much larger and nothing like the older model. It is mostly an underpowered F-150.
