RIP to the Ford Ranger

[Hmbre97]

I wouldn't even call 98 the redesign year. Only thing that changed was the grill/headlights/fenders. Those trucks haven't changed since 93.

I had a '00 single cab Sport. I loved that little truck. I had it when I was a delivery driver for Pizza Hut my freshman year of college. I put 35k miles on that thing in a year and it didn't start having problems until it got flooded. Apparently there is a good bit of electrical shit under the floor mat in those trucks and it started having all kinds of weird electrical problems.

I had a 95 5spd 2.3 that I drove the wheels off for 6 years- never any issues other than normal maintenance. RIP ranger

Sweet. If you guys act quick I will sell my 2001 Ranger for $12k, get it while it lasts!

Thank god the ranger last 10yrs or so biggest POS

You don't know what your talking about. Rangers are one of the reliable vehiles ever built, as seen above. It was dated, yes, but was very cheap to own & operate.
I've got 150K miles on my 01, it still looks & runs like new.

WRONG! In 98 Rangers got a completetly new front suspension- got rid of the I-beams & worm gear steering, the standard cab was lengthened 4 inches too.

One of fords best , most reliable , econo shit boxes ever made ! RIP ranger, you did nothing great but did everything forever!

This says it best.

[Slowhand]

I think they should've made some bad ass fast as shit model for the last year (turbo v6 or a 5.0).. Might be dangerous as shit but cool lol!

I like the sporty models of the Colorado with the 5.3 V8. you can make those pretty pimp and quick. If I got another truck it'd prob be one of those.

2012 Ranger, that's not sold here.

too carish looking IMO..

"...the twin-turbo V-6 F-150 pickup now gets better mileage than the top-end Ranger..."

that right there is a fucking stupid statement. how many of the f150's produced are ecoboost and how many of the rangers are V6? my guess is not that fucking many...

i would bet the majority of the f150 are the 3.7 six cyl or 4.6(V8), and the majority of the rangers being 4cylinders. so yea that comment i quoted means jack shit

Looks like a Nissan Frontier raped a Honda Ridgeline.

I agree. They need to section about 3 inches out of the middle of that thing.
