  • 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! That means less participants and better odds for you to win. We don't do entry multipliers either, so feel free to get entered whenever you want. We've added lots of new products to the site and plan to add lots more,
    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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"

    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.

    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

    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!

    • @hodsonmotors
      @hodsonmotors  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      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!
