Used Ford Ranger for Sale in Phoenix, AZ

This Ford Ranger Pickup XLT was an emergency buy. My previous vehicle was not running and was more to repair than acquiring this vehicle from a co-worker under the conditions that I was offered. I was indifferent to this vehicle at first. It is, however, the first pickup I have ever owned. I grew to see the versatility of a pickup from this vehicle. It has also turned out to be the most reliable, versatile, and easy to own and maintain of the vehicles I have owned. I also learned the value of a five speed manual transmission from this vehicle.

I have a Ford Ranger from 1997, which I purchased used in 2004. It's a very reliable little truck, and I depend on it for completing everyday tasks like driving to the grocery store, to much bigger tasks such as moving from state to state. Living in Arizona and New Mexico, having a good air conditioning system is really important while driving. The A/C in my Ranger has never broken down on me and always provided a nice, refreshingly cold current of air in the cabin. And I find the cloth drivers seat to be pretty comfortable in any weather conditions. My sole complaint about the truck is that because it's rather small and light, it doesn't handle driving in the rain or snow very well and I've had a few close calls due to hydroplaning and skidding out in snowbanks - a problem I've ameliorated by putting bags of concrete over the wheel wells. That said, the Ranger is a great city and highway truck if you live in the desert - it deals well with heat, it's generally comfortable and is great for hauling around stuff. I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a dependable little truck.
