Pointing out some of the many reasons as to why the Ford Ranger is a great truck. The fact that this truck is not full sized it still has many capabilities of a larger vehicle. It is a more simplistic truck than many other trucks out there on the market today and has lasted as long as it has because they are such great vehicles. People love them! The exterior is simple yet refined. The interior is simple yet comfortable and suitable for 5 passengers. This truck has the 5-speed manual 2.5 liter 4 cylinder engine that is very reliable and many parts out on the market available for it that are cheap. The gas mileage can be up to 27mpg on the highway. Insurance and registration costs are cheap. These trucks go hundreds of thousands of miles trouble free as long as you keep up with routine maintenance on them. You have a 6 foot bed that can haul plenty and if you put a camper shell on it can lock down valuables and other materials. My specific truck can haul 2,000 lbs but with a better tow hitch can tow more. I mean for a vehicle that you can purchase all day for under $2k all day how can you go wrong with such a nice truck as this. Find a well taken care of one and it will last you many many years to come costing you little to maintain and keep on the road. I highly recommend this truck and that you test drive one today. You will love it. Such a great truck especially for you who want a cheap truck to travel and camp in or who have a small business and need to haul materials.

Today how many S10 chevs do you see on the road,, maybe one for every 20 old Rangers,,,
The S-10 is nice also, but Mazda and Ford really did well. True legendary reliable.
Next to the rail today going to Elkhart on a locomotive I passed 10 Ford rangers. I see the damn things everywhere.
Yep. I did see a super clean S10 today. Good on whoever kept it so nice. Only problem- - it was still an S10. And for sure, you hardly see them anywhere as often as old Rangers. Rangers go and go and go. I've got 2 right now: 94 4 cyl. 5 speed with super clean frame and no rust, c. 126K miles. And a good looking 2003 2.3 16v 5 speed, about 155K miles. Had a 98 stick with the 2.5 that I drove from 120K to 220K. My son bought a 2001 with 234K a week ago, running good.
Only mistake I ever made on a Ranger was when I bought a high mileage auto transmission. Bought it to flip- fixed it up looking sharp, and then the tranny went. Don't ever intend to break my stick only rule again!
True. I have a b2500 Mazda 1999😊😊. I like my dinosaur. 😊😊😊
Now 30 for me I have the 1994 and I hardly see any chevys running around
I had a 97 with a 3.0 Vulcan, 5 sp. Looked just like it. I really enjoyed the heck out of it. Great torque but @ 18-20 MPG. Let it go to get a 2.3 2006 ranger 5 sp. Although the later tacomas are a great truck, the Rangers always get my nod.
I have two of these Rangers a 1995 3.0 and a 1997 4.0 Great Trucks I love them...they just keep going and going
1993 ranger 2wd 5sp 2.3l, 484,000 and still going strong!
2,000 Ford ranger 279,116 and still going strong
Holy shit man that’s awesome
@@thecabin3995 👍, I've had this truck for about 9 years. Like the eveready battery. Lol
Dude I have the exact same truck. Exact.
@@bradley4698 👍
They truly are great trucks probably one of the greatest things Ford ever made
I have a 1994 ford ranger xlt 5 speed stick with 327,000 miles and it still drives great.
Nice I just bought one with 170k miles for 1k
@@erikroque9231 nice! Over a year later and mines still running great at 333,000 miles now.
@@davidlorenz1496 no way really Danmm I’m becoming a ford guy now I had nothing but Tacomas
I knew someone who had an 03 V6 ranger. I drove it a bit and they even loaned it to me while they were on vacation. I really liked it. Later on, I test drove a 4 cylinder ranger and it just wasn't the same
Glad yours works for you though!! Great video on it
Ya ive had a few. current truck is the fastest stock ranger ive driven, 4.0v6, manual trans, 2WD, No power anything, AC delete, Efan conversion,
SVT lightning style straight pipe, Intake. Pretty efficient tire frier
Really great looking truck. Love the efficiency, haul capacity and gas mileage.
I’ve been seeing some for under $3k close to 200k mileage. I need a weekend project truck for cinder blocks, 2x4, mulch and gravel, and the occasional dry wall sheet. 90% of the time it will sit in the driveway.
as long as it will be reliable and get the job at hand done than that's all that matters. this truck is definitely good for that and more. hope you find yourself one
I had a 1990 ranger super cab it was 4 wheel drive automatic with a 2.9 engine I bought it new in 1991 and it had 46 miles on it it also had cruise control and air conditioning when I finally traded it in I had 298000 miles never had any problems with it the frame was rusting out I wish that i still had it I owned it for 18years best vehicle that I ever had.
My 06 has 327k miles and is still running strong
I'm going to look at a 99 ranger tomorrow. Been looking at videos all night, and I think I'm in love🥰
Thanks for the review!
I need to get an early 2000s one of these
I have a 89 ford ranger 2.9 auto xlt love it good little trucks
Best truck money can buy. In terms of reliability saftey and great gas mileage even the v6s are great for gas. I have a 4.0 and a 3.0. I love them.
do you prefer the 3.0 or 4.0 more
@@tyranq8609 I have an '04 Fx4, it has the 4.0.
Having driven both, if you can get the 4.0 I'd recommend that over the 3.0 - the 3.0 is pretty gutless and anemic when you need some power on-demand for passing or getting onto the highway.
The mpg on the 4.0 is a bit rough to be honest, I average around 12-14mpg, but for me the trade off for the increased power is worth it.
I know this truck I ain't no stranger. I know that truck truck it's a ford FUCKIN RANGER
Got a 99 single cab. 2.5l and 2wd. It’s a great little truck. 78,000 miles on it
I have the 2003 Mazda Dual Sport with the 3.0. I love it.
Hi..still have it? I just bought my 2nd Ranger, a 2005, a lot like yours but with the 3.0. Loving it.
I see you have 235/75r15 tires instead of the stock 225/70r15. How does it feel power wise for the 2.5 liter and mpg wise?
Been looking into 3rd gen rangers, I could see myself getting one of these for a basic first vehicle. I’d prefer automatic, haven’t heard of a ton of problems with these trucks other than easy fixes so to speak.
Would love one of these, love the styling and the fact it would give me a bit of truck capability.
Just learn how to drive manual. It takes a day to pickup. Set yourself up for success, bro
Get a manual
98 2.5 5 speed. Cranked after 8 years and been driving since, spent $1200 so far on it and $200 to buy it.
Btw that’s all parts, I did all labor. Plus $500 for tires.
Great truck for sure.
Bro idc what anybody says ranger gang all day
When I see a video recommending a Ford Ranger, it’s always a model from 15-20 years ago. ???
Cuz they are affordable and oh so cool. I have a 2006. Worth it!
You know this truck.....
Your not a stranger....
Ford Ranger....
That "$3,000" truck is now being sold for $10,000. FJB
I love the Ford Ranger 2
What exactly is the best year for the ranger to buy? I plan to get one when I am 16, and I would like to know. I am currently looking at the 2019-2021 models. Are the older models any better or worse?
If I were you, I'd buy a 2.5 4 banger. They are great trucks and owned one for years. Get the manual trans if you can
Bruh get the older ones, the new ones are basically a half ton. The old ones are also still really reliable depending on how it was treated. I have no clue what ford was thinking with the newer generation
Wow how many cars do you own?
Should I get a Ford ranger as my first truck
Yes
I’ve owned 2.5 4.0 OHV an now 3.0 an there reliable the 3.0 OHV an 4.0 OHV are real easy to take apart my 3.0 randomly bent a exhaust valve 157k an it was really easy an simple to take apart an do heads I think best one to get is the 4.0 OHV as they hold up an have some power for towing
Hey, totally random question but since you legit seem like a genuine a car loving dude I wanted to ask for advice on buying a car. Right now I am currently looking at a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ 125,000 miles and it’s going for $5,500. Should I go for it what do you think? It is being sold by a dealership. I’d appreciate any words of advice from you
genuine car guy I am. so as far as the car it's a good car. my brother has a 2014 malibu ltz and he hasn't had to do anything to it and has about 90k miles on it. as far as price goes, it is a bit more expensive than you can get them for elsewhere. it's a dealership so they are making money on it. I would suggest doing more research looking for the right car and finding the right one at the right price. dont rush it. wait for the right deal to come through and you will find the right one for you. that's my advice for you
Daily Driver Thank you so much for the advice. I just spoke with the dealership and it turns out they already sold it. I’ll keep looking and hopefully find the perfect one! You earned a subscriber man your awesome!!
@@jamesfarmer5349 you are welcome and I really appreciate the feedback and subscribe. happy to help with any questions you may have. you will find yourself the right one with time. dont rush it!
Daily Driver You know what for being so nice and awesome. And also since I don’t have school because of COVID-19. I want to make you a channel art and profile picture for your TH-cam channel. I have lots of free time on my hands and you’ve been a big help I want to pay you back. If you have an email where we can communicate on what type of design and color wave, information you would like on it that would be great.
@@jamesfarmer5349 I appreciate that a lot. I'd be happy to be in contact with you. you can contact me on my email @ warrenexpertise@gmail.com
again I'm happy to help out anyone I can help
I'm hucking the 2001 Mercedes my grandpa gave me. I don't make Mercedes money. I want to get a Ford Ranger. That's my move
Sold my old e46 and i’m looking for a ranger now too
Is this what they consider a "danger ranger"? Or was that only certain model years.
1998 Still going strong
good to hear feedback from owners alike 👌
2000 ranger 2.5 liter SOCH Lima engine. 260,000 going strong.
Nice. That's a lot of miles on it. Glad it's running strong for you. Mines going strong as well. 172k and just did some suspension work to it
@@DaylyDriverDayly awesome! Same here did the suspension feels like new. Got my ranger in CA for $3k a little bit more than other states but worth ever penny, best money I ever spent. Great video. I recommend doing the timing belt thinking of doing it soon.
I see you have 235/70r15 tires instead of the stock 225/70r15. How does it feel power wise for the 2.5 liter and mpg wise?
First rule of fight club don’t talk about fight club
I agree with everything in this video a the Mazda b series are just as great cause there basically Ford rangers and use a lot of the same parts
I am for ever a v6 work truck automatic. thanks just the same.
What?
Mine looks like the end life of this truck
They are good trucks but with age and mileage, these old ford's will need some work
Does the 4 banger have balls on a the hwy if u got some weight on it ?
If its the 5 speed stick yes it will go just leave it in 4th and it will go 100 ish mph just don't over rev it
I have an automatic and yes it does good with 4 people in the car and a load in the back
Older rangers with the pushrod 4.0 are good trucks but I owned one with the Sohc 4.0 and it was the biggest pile of crap I’ve ever owned
The "3rd" seat doesn't have a seat belt so it's actually only a 4 seater .
it does actually. Guess he forgot to say
@@armo_mafioso I can't see how in this age of safety before intelligence that they aloud the jump seats in the back let alone lap belts in the front but I'll take your word for it .
@@OlderthanIlookyoungerthanIfeel they wouldn’t not be allowed to make this with this kind of seating anymore.
@@robertt9342 The whole reason they quit making this gen Ranger . Was because government regulations gave them a bunch of new safety equipment that wouldn't even fit anymore . So the new ranger is bigger in everything but the box , and weighs around 1,000 pounds more . Also why I'll likely never own anything newer . I prefer my gen 4 Camaro and my 2003 Ranger to any of the new cars anyways .
I know this truck I ain't no stranger I know that this truck is a Ford fucking Ranger
Ford fuckin ranger 🤟🤟🤟 i got 99 reg cab 5 speed 2wd i love it. I test the fuck out of it going off road. Havnt got stuck yet 🙏🤣
Daily drivers chatter! If you wanna work on your vehicle buy yourself a ford! “FIX OR REPAIR DAILY”
Original engine, and tranny well above 300k. Let's see a Chevy trans last that long, or a dodge. You got the money to pay out, get a Toyota.
if someone hits you all you get is a dent the other car tho that's a diff story.
dont plan on finding out but good to know
Room for 5 people…. Lol no, seating for 5, not room.
Depending on the size of the people you can make it happen, although it would be tight quarters
not a good truck dudes. I have one myself. spindles break, heads problems and abs modules
It just depends as with any vehicle how it's been taken care of over time and some vehicles are just more reliable than others even if they are taken care of. mine is in excellent condition and just did a bunch of maintenance to it to keep it running strong a long time. I love mine
Your truck has had a rough life if you are having those problems, you broke a spindle? Were you jumping the truck?
I got a 2006 3.0 with 200000 on it, grease and check your wheel bearings ones a year or every 10000 miles and it probably your abs sensors going bad 2 sensors for 30$ each on EBay usually fix the ABS pump glitch 👍
A basic truck for a basic bro.
awesome truck for an awesome dude 👌👌🇺🇸🇺🇸
Toyota Tacoma is better
Lmao, Not for the price! Ranger is about as dependable , but WAAAAAAAAAAAAY cheaper! plus Ranger is very off road capable. Always a Ranger in the woods with Jeeps , tacos, & 4runners. Ford messed up by not making more 4cyl ones 4x4.
Frame rot for the price: please allow me to introduce myself
