- Introducing our first "Shitbox Giveaway", This BEAUTIFUL 1986 Ford Ranger STX. Extended cab, 2.9L V6, 5 speed manual, manual T-case, AC, loaded interior, what else could you ask for?! This thing is the ultimate daily driver, I drove it 6 hours straight home, and then have driven it everyday since. Whoever wins will truly have a daily driveable classic.
We're giving this truck away on Hodsonmotors.com, and you could win it! Every $5 you spend on our site from now until Oct 2nd 2022 at 11:59:59 is 1 automatic entry to win. 2 weeks only!

We hope you guys like these "shitbox giveaways" as they are a fun, smaller giveaway that we can run in between our huge giveaways. Helps us keep the business afloat! To be clear, the trucks we giveaway will never truly be "Shitboxes", just in that genre of truck. They'll always be restored with plenty of mods. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
For a 38yr old truck it looks amazing! Probably one of a kind in existence LOL
My first car was an 86 standard cab. Absolutely loved this truck. Wasn’t much for off-road but was a tank in the snow!
That’s awesome!
Ranger is a good off road truck ,owned several , never had a 4wd , just 2 wd , went anywhere I wanted to ,what you describe sounds like an S-10 .
No one hypes up a old truck like Riley lol love it
Nobody 😂
@@hodsonmotorsreflectors in front are nice where you get those and that factory looking radio?
@@hodsonmotorsstx usually have the bumper bars on front usually
Not kidding, I worked with a guy back in the 90's who had one of these and he drove it 47 miles one way back and forth to work everyday as well as pulled his golf cart on a trailer on weekends and I think when he sold it, that thing had well over 300k miles on it and he rarely had any problems.
mine currently has 399,918 and the trans finally crapped out so these things are crazy
Had one a long time ago, loved it. Recently bought another one and I'm so happy. Blocks didn't crack from overheating, heads did. Trans is a 5 speed Mitsubishi...they were ok, the Mazda 5 spd was used from 88 on and was an improvement. You can easily swap out the Mit for the Mazda. Great mpg and low maintenance cost on a very useful and reliable little truck!
Miss my long bed 87. Still did great with the 2.3 l. A/C would've been nice though!
AC is a must for us in the desert so we try to fix/add AC on all our giveaway trucks! 🌬 🧊
Bought my 86 XLT in july last year with less than 60k miles on it... I've considered selling it many times, but whenever I do drive it... That's when I say "I gotta keep this thing. This is so fun to drive around in"
Ford and Toyota trucks are unbeatable. I'll soon be buying a new Ranger here in Brazil and am looking forward to it.
I bought a New Ranger in 1984 and then another in 1992 with 4X4, both where long lasting cheap to operate trucks. One thing you fail to mention are the vent windows, it was a very rare option on the Rangers.
Beautiful old truck. I have one currently almost identical white with blue stx. These trucks are great off road with 30x9.5 off road tires. Billy goat low and great articulation
:)
Sell it to me
Love it, got myself locked in the this mint box!!
More “mint box” giveaways coming!
Lol @ the @@@@ box intro ;-) another cool video Riley. Keep them coming!
Thanks!!!
I can’t wait to win this on Friday. I had a 87 standard cab short box in high school. Thing was such a turd but I loved it.
I had a new 87 Bronco II 2.9L and then a new 91 STX 4x4 4.0L probably before you were born! Loved them both. I off roaded both extensively bone stock. Glad to see you appreciate these old designs.
Gorgeous little truck. Waiting for this giveaway to end!
More of these smaller giveaways to come!
looks great!
Hope I get it!!
That is a really nice truck!
Another killer truck!
Thank you!
I swear to goodness I was with an old high school friend and in his dads fairly new 86 ranger with that little 6 almost exactly like the one so well presented here we did a wheelie and it only took him 5 tries but he most definitely did a wheelie and wow his dad was amazed that it did it and that we were dumb enough to do it in his baby and he ran that truck for almost 20 years after that
Dude that’s awesome
I'm in! 👍
I have an 83 2wd with the 2.8 v6 with solid lifters. I have heart of the 2.8 and 2.9 v6's cracking the heads from overheating, but haven't heard about the blocks actually cracking? I've put 2 sets of heads on mine, its currently got around 430 000 km's on it and still going strong. Gets average fuel mileage of 30 cdn gallons!
He is good and he’s got me wanting one
Stock is beautiful, or maybe a 6" lift and some 33" Tsl Thornbirds 🤘🏻
This one was in too good of shape to modify too much so we decided to just clean it up to it's full glory!
Believe it or not ! . That's the original ! . With a hard topper camper , that's it ! ..
I got one for $300 bucks NOTHING original accept maybe the oil! Lol came with a blue cab black bed and white doors from all different years and came on custom paddle tires.. it was clapped out! But everything worked even 4x4 so I painted it all 1 color got new tires and drove it for 8 years daily and still have it
Bonita Camioneta ranger muy cuidada
La mia es 1988 motor 2.3, con varios detalles mecanicos
Pero me da servicio diario aun
The best little shitbox
Nice
I bought an 87 Ranger brand new and loved it. Mine was silver with dark grey on the bottom. I cant remember why I sold it. Id like to find another.
Need it
Can you give me the details (width, backspacing) of the rims you bought? It's hard to get rims for the Gen 1 that don't stick out past the fenders in front.
What size tires are on there?
Is it lifted and what size tire and rims it has
I daily and xlt and its the best
Hey quick question whats that paint color called, or whats the paint code?
Its the heads that crack not the block...
Got one sorta like this. Just needs new paint from sun damage. Rebuilding the engine now. It’s for sale if anyone’s interested
This is the truck I need
It will out last any thing that comes out of a Ford plant right now. So, is it worth 40K, maybe.😅
I just bought an 83 Ranger xlt 2.3 4 cyl automatic with 123 000 km in absolutely mint condition sadly shes drinking oil like a beast and im waiting to see the extent of the issue .
Cool Ranger! Love it, such a classic! Is it 100% confirmed that this has a Mazda trans, as opposed to the Mitsubishi trans? And any hints as to how much corrosion lives underneath this truck?
You know, now that you mention it, I need to verify and correct myself if it's the Mitsubishi or the Mazda trans. However, tomorrow it's going on the lift for new trans mount, I will take lots of pics underneath and post them to the Instagram/Facebook!
Mitsubishi FM146 probably but who knows
89 all the way 4x4 2.9
i have a 83 ranger, love it to bits, but it has no power out of the 2.8 v6, it also is a lifter tick machine. im probably trading it for a 87 bricknose f-250 6.9 soon because i cant beat on it, its wayy to nice to beat on.
I’m no stranger, that’s a Ford €uck’en Ranger.
FORD RANGER
😂😂😂
I also have an 86 stx extended I absolutely love it
I want this ranger😢😭
Great little truck. What would a turbo or a super charger do in terms of horsepower and torque?
swap in some stronger internals and I bet you could get a decent hp gain with low boost
Are customers eligible to win more than once/ win more than one giveaway?
Nope. At least according to the current give away rules it states if you have won previous giveaways you are not eligible
@@Chiefthepup Thanks. I guess I’ll be skipping out on this Ranger.
If you won a grand prize (truck/money) you are not eligible but mini prize (merch/products) winners are still eligible.
rip paul walker
How’s the truck so far? Debating on getting one that’s mint for $4k
That's a steal.
Tire size?
30” Hancook A/Ts on 15” wheels
I wish I knew how awesome 1st Gen Rangers were when shopping for my truck. Consider me jealous of whoever won this gem! Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to be shopping around Marketplace…

Get a better camera guy. Literally couldn’t see any of the interior
Hey, can’t please everyone. We will always try to show as much of the truck as we can. We also post a ton on our website and instagram so you can check that out too.
