Hi Scotty just wondering what your thoughts on a 1995 Lexus sc400. There is one for sale on Craigslist with 216k and the person is asking 3k you think it's worth it? Thanks
Scotty Kilmer Scotty I have a 05 Ford Explorer with a 4.0 motor and it was perfect until one day I put it in reverse it wouldn’t move at all. Neither on drive or any other gear.
People in Cali want 6k for there rangers it’s actually stupid. Even the old beat up ones they want 3k and 1k for one that had a damn blown engine and poop interior. Crazy. Ford rangers are only worth 1-2k max people are tripping. AND I OWN A 04 RANGER I’m thinking I should sell it.
I know what you mean. Went to the big pick-a-part in L.A. with a boyfriend and the place smelled like my dad who was always working on our cars - the grease, dirt and sweat, but in a good way. Turns out it would have been his birthday.
@@brendadeatherage4543 lmao you know that girl a real one when she get's dad vibes in a scrap yard. "Is that my dads cologne??" -"Nope its 10w40 mixed with I need a shower"
ha! to be fair, the handle broke the same way on my '06 ranger sport, turned out to be easy and cheap to replace. i even upgraded from the OEM plastic to an aftermarket metal handle
Man dont talk to fiat like that you know what happens when they get pissed they drive themselfs to volacano and blow them selfup and you know they have the best rearview mirrors. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the thing is they do have the best riewview mirrors masterpiece.
Overpriced and only 4 wheel drive. I had been waiting to replace my 2006 Ranger with the new Ranger but I am not interested in 4wd and the extra cost of it so my old Ranger will be replaced with a new Tacoma.
@@oto169 Exactly! I would be happy if they simply brought beck the old Ranger with updated suspension - and WITHOUT fancy electronics, video displays, electronic controls - retaining the reliable mechanical controls easy to use without looking ot when wearing gloves.
That applies to every car company. I don't want all that electronic cap but I have no choice. I don't even want power breaks let alone anti lock brakes. I do want an ash tray and cigarette lighter though, but i can't have that!
My dad bought a 98 Ford Ranger brand new in 2000. Got a discount on it for a little bit of hail damage. Used it as his daily driver for 17 years and put approximately 430,000 miles on it. Never had the engine/transmission rebuilt/replaced. Very solid truck indeed Scotty!
I've had 5 Rangers over the years and they are some of the best trucks made. They were cheap, reliable and tough. I still have an 01 that I bought when I was 19 years old. Great little trucks
They used Mazda M5OD-R1 transmissions, which are quite good. They don't perform like the 5-speeds in a Honda Civic, because it's a truck, but they can last very long!
The later, 2.3 inline fours are Mazda products as well, so it's possible to have an entirely Mazda power train in these trucks. However, that's not to say the other choices are bad.. maybe the sohc 4.0 due to timing chain problems.
@Carmicha3lthat's Vulcan 80s design for you: 4 cyl performance with V6 fuel economy. On the bright side those cast iron engines are bulletproof. 300k+ miles are not uncommon
My dad was never a ford guy..but he had a Ford ranger back in the day and I remember being a kid driving around with him ..family drove the wheels off that old 91 lol never left us stranded now my first truck is is a ranger..27 years old I’ve had it for a year or so and it’s never left me stranded or given me any problems
@@patrickseekins1299 Totally amazed how many views a limited knowledge individual like this guy gets in two days. Topless woman dont get as many. Doesn't anyone else wonder why? Could it be he's buying them?
Take it off lol. If u wanna do something with the air flow. See if another module of car in the same family would fit. Example i know the air boxes and tubing from a late 90s integra will fit on my 7th gen civic. May have to alter the bolt down spots. But its def a better flowing deal than the stock civic box. And its easier to work under the hood cause its smaller externally than the stock box. But with a faster flow rate. Its what happens when you get bored at the junk yard lol.
They are actually hot air intake! Sucks in the hot air from under the hood. Batter to buy a k&n stock replacement and keep the cold air ducting in place
I bought a 2004 V6 Ranger with little over 63,000 miles back in January. Changed the plugs and wires when I got it. Seems to run fine, but I'm only getting a little over 14 MPG with all around driving. So I bought a Honda Fit for everyday driving and just use the truck when I need it. The Honda gets 34 MPG with all around driving.
"Die" is a relative term. I drove a 94 Taurus that had the transmission go out in 2016 but as far as my wife was concerned, the car "died" around 2006 She refused to set foot in it.
@@gemini291 what I mean by "die" is that it's running on original everything, except brakes and wheel bearings of course, and somehow hasn't had any catostrophic failures...yet...
Naaah..worst pick up truck ever. Died on the road many times, carburator, horrible handling and ride quality. '84 Ranger. Never buy Ford or GM or Dodge again. Toyota 4 ever.
@@yeulakho6574 that was probably the nutorious tfi ignition coil failure. There was a recall, and ford would fix it under warranty, and then the problem was solved. I simply don't give a damn about ride quality, because it's just a work truck for me.
The old Chevy S10's and Isuzu Pup's were essentially the same, too. Our company had an 1985 Pup manual with the 4cyl Diesel (no turbo) and it was slow AF but got 55PMG. We put 600K miles on it and probably could have got more but someone thought the 40W oil we used on our loaders was good enough for the truck and blew the main seals. It needed a quart of oil between fuel refills in the end. One of the men on the crew didn't get the memo to top 'er off at the pump and that was the end in a few weeks. Pissed the boss off something fierce, cleaning out the truck and pulling two one gallon jugs of from behind the seat, but he was the dummy who used the 40W to begin with...
Bro, I paid a mind boggling 6,500 for mine; essentially a pre-rust bucket with tons of problems. Dumped another 5,000 into it for repairs and parts; yet i absolutely love it. Horrible gas mileage as a 4.0 but it just keeps TRUCKIN'.
@@fatsixtysix5392 If you're not in a rush, no. Over the next couple years market prices are going to slump. We still have not experienced the true price for rampant national spending. The piper must be paid. A recession is coming.
Even the B2500's are descent, I've been driving one for over 23 years and it's still tight. Use Royal Purple synthetic oil &filters are important. Can haul up to 1500 pounds in the box.
I picked up a 99 Ranger for $1000 from my friend trading it in for Camero. It had only 66K miles. Now 6 years later it still runs great at 125K miles. No major repairs. 👍🇺🇸 My best car deal yet.
One thing on the ranger, replacement parts are astoundingly cheap. Though I had to fix my 1994 a lot, the parts total was always lower than a monthly car payment.
It used to be the other way around. In the 70's I had a Mazda B1600 which was sold with a little bigger engine as the Ford Courier. It was made by the Toyo Kogyo Motor Comany in Japan.
My cousin had one of these with the 2.3 4-cylinder. It got 250,000 miles then the odometer stopped. Then he drove it as his daily driver for about seven more years before he finally sold it. It also had the 5-speed standard.
@@TheAverageUSGamer I Also Have an '05 RANGER and Enjoy It!! Very Reliable has Taken Me Along The East Coast. Had a B3000 as well. Best Vehicle I Ever Owned!! My Ranger was Made in '04 and Just Turned 152K. Had It Since March of Last Year and aside of Maintainance; have only Done The 2 Coolant Temp. Sensors. Not Cheap if You send it to a Garage..
Except for ball joints, I got a quote for $1,200 to get both sides done by a licensed Ford mechanic. So I'm getting it done by a small Mom and Pop Shop for about five and a half to $600
I have a 2009 Ford Ranger 2.3L. It is an amazing car, best one I've owned. I got it at 36,000 miles and now it just got to 200,000 miles. I haven't had to do anything, I've literally neglected it. Still, it has very little wrong with it. Right now, I just have to find time to change the valve cover gasket and spark plugs, which I haven't even touched after all this time. Once that's done I'm sure it will last to 300,000 easy. These little trucks are awesome in reliability, even if the comfort lacks. I don't know why Scotty reviewed the 3.0 though, because I've heard that's the worst one.
I miss my old '02 Ranger 4.0 4x4 5spd...it spend too many years in the northeast before I bought it and the rust claimed it with less than 80,000 on it.
I remember the last few months the Ranger was still being made there were a few local Ford dealers selling 2.3/5 speed 2WD rangers for $11k. Wanted one, just didn't have much of a use for one.
Scotty I currently am the proud owner and original owner of a 1999 Ford Ranger 4 x 4. I’m getting new tires put on it tomorrow and it’s still just as reliable as the day I bought it. I keep up with my own maintenance and I love telling people I haven’t had a car payment and over 18 years. I’m 38. Keep up the great work Scotty!!!
I've owned 2 Rangers. A 99 and a 94. They are by far the most reliable vehicles I've ever owned and extremely easy to work on. It's too bad they don't make a truck like this anymore.
These are great vehicles, grandpa has had 2 regular cab ford rangers. Both 2.3L manual, first one he sold at 200k and the one he has now has 250k and still running great.
I bought an '01 B3000 back in December. It's the exact same truck as my dad's '02 Ranger. Mines an auto so it's not quick without cargo and even less quick once you load it. Not sure I'd want to tow with it. It has 201K miles. These engines have an issue with the timing cover gasket failing. My dad has had to do it several times on his truck with similar mileage. I bought mine with a bad gasket. It's a pain to replace. It's a good truck overall for second vehicle and to have something to haul stuff or help others. If you just need a good truck to use as a truck, it's a good cheap option. I wouldn't say it's a great daily driver unless you like slow vehicles.
My family had a 1987 b2200 Mazda. Had over 500,000mi when my dad got rid of it. Very few problems over the years (alternator and fuel pump were the only things replaced other than the usual tires, windshield, battery, oil, filters,etc) and still had the original clutch when he got rid of it.
I got my 2000 Ranger. 132,000 miles on it. Love to drive it. Bought it 3 years ago for $5000. Still has low miles. Looks and feels real. It's still gets better gas mileage than the F150. Good VID
I just bought a 2000 Ford ranger TrailHead addition for $500. It's a 5sp with the 3.0 v6 and has 338,000 miles on it. I had to put a new clutch kit into it but other than that it's solid. Gonna be a new work truck. Down hear in south Florida, btw.
@SW H I've got a 2002 Extreme, 4.3/5 speed manual. I previously drove a 1992 2.8L V6/5 speed. They were both pretty slow, but I love 'em both. Good little pickups.
Iam quitting work right now. Iam buying some crack and meth. Iam smoking a joint, as I ride away from the liquor store. ......Iam doing all this because I know the world is ending. ....Scotty just liked a vehicle I actually own! !!!!!!
Have you owned one? The second gen is a absolutely shitty car. Nothing but problems. Electronic problems with the radio wiring harness, alternator blew under 110k miles, parasitic draw, weak brakes, air bag module problems(unrelated to takata recall), transmission clunks and reverse, interior trim is coming off, and if you have a 2azfe like I do, serious oil consumption. Weve had ours for 10 years, a truly awful car
This video is amazing. Before even clicking I kept telling myself I hope he says Ford ranger. And sure enough as soon as he says "Mazda B3000" I was like "Hell Yeah" because they're the same thing but this just makes me want to buy one even more, thank you Scotty, PLEASE GIVE THIS A LIKE, much love.
Had a B3500 4x4 it was a great small truck in tell engine went out and dealership replaced the eng had problems up on problems because they replaced with under powered Ford engine so make sure you you check them out close . make sure it's a Mazda engine not one for the Ford truck.
I absolutely love my 2011 ford ranger even tho it is a 4 cylinder. Got it with 150k miles and I've put on 20k since then and still runs great. Going to keep the truck till the wheels fall off
That V6 Vulcan is a beast. Mine had a few issues that made me hate it (lack of maintenance to cooling system and transmission abuse, and months of dealing with random shut downs and no-starts until I replaced a $12 fuel pump relay), but the thing is a beast.
90s Geo Prizms were really Toyotas. People were paying good money for them Corollas back in the 2000s and giving away the Geo Prizms. 😂🤣 Few car people knew.
I owned a 96 Ranger 2.3L 4 banger with manual transmission when I was a teenager and into my early twenties. I learned to drive a manual in it. I was irresponsible and I abused the hell out of it; hardly ever changed the oil in it, nor any of the other fluids. It was the epitome of the term "ragged out". I bought it with 143,000 miles on it and in good shape. The odometer stopped working at 205,000 but that beast kept on ticking! I drove it for several years after the odo stopped working and I honestly have no clue how many miles I put on it. I know well over 250k, but I'd love to know how many exactly. She never left me stranded and always cranked. CEL stayed on, but I did the battery disconnect trick to pass emissions every year. I sold her for $500 in the end. I hope she made it to over 300k before she went to the junkyard.
I’m looking at snagging a 93 Ranger 2.3L 4 banger myself. According to them, it’s only a 73K mile truck... They’re asking $3,500. Guess we’ll have to take a look and see!
Scotty my 98 ford ranger ext cab w 3.0l with almost 300,000 miles is all orginal. And that ranger has not had it easy as I used it for work and pulling trailers. It's a way better truck than a Tacoma of that year, and you see far more rangers still going down the road than you do those Tacoma's. Toyota is to full of itself. Today a new Tacoma goes for a much as a f150 with out having have the capability of a f150 as far as payload and towing goes.
Ball joints, fuel tank straps, rear leaf spring hangers and shackles, ignition coils, exhaust manifold leaks, frames. All the usual Ford issues in the salt belt, most of these things melted away with the snow. Ranger is trash.
I had a quick question. I've been looking online and saw some relatively cheap 4runners from the 90's in some dealerships. They all have close to 250k Mike's and one owner while being well maintained. They are going for 1,500 dollars. Would that be a good price to buy it at? I was thinking about buying one as a gift for my dad

@@yeulakho6574 that was probably the nutorious tfi ignition coil failure. There was a recall, and ford would fix it under warranty, and then the problem was solved. I simply don't give a damn about ride quality, because it's just a work truck for me.
Greatings from Slovakia (central Europe.) Scotty. I respect youre work here.
My longbed ford was totaled in an accident, I replaced it with a little b4000 4x4. Nice simple truck
The old Chevy S10's and Isuzu Pup's were essentially the same, too. Our company had an 1985 Pup manual with the 4cyl Diesel (no turbo) and it was slow AF but got 55PMG. We put 600K miles on it and probably could have got more but someone thought the 40W oil we used on our loaders was good enough for the truck and blew the main seals. It needed a quart of oil between fuel refills in the end. One of the men on the crew didn't get the memo to top 'er off at the pump and that was the end in a few weeks. Pissed the boss off something fierce, cleaning out the truck and pulling two one gallon jugs of from behind the seat, but he was the dummy who used the 40W to begin with...

Love my little Ford ranger ... I paid $800 for it 12 years ago. Still going till this day 2/14/21
Still running? I want one.😅
Bro, I paid a mind boggling 6,500 for mine; essentially a pre-rust bucket with tons of problems. Dumped another 5,000 into it for repairs and parts; yet i absolutely love it. Horrible gas mileage as a 4.0 but it just keeps TRUCKIN'.
@@Keys879wow, I’m looking at 2001 4x4 super cab 4.0 v6 With 92,000 super clean no rust(I’m in Michigan) asking price 7,900 🤔🤔should I bite on it
@@fatsixtysix5392 If you're not in a rush, no. Over the next couple years market prices are going to slump. We still have not experienced the true price for rampant national spending. The piper must be paid. A recession is coming.
The Mazda Tribute was a rebadged Ford Escape. :-)
And the Navajo was a rebadged Explorer. What's your point?
Even the B2500's are descent, I've been driving one for over 23 years and it's still tight. Use Royal Purple synthetic oil &filters are important. Can haul up to 1500 pounds in the box.
You’re Frickin’ hilarious man. Informative, polite, supportive and Frickin hilarious!
Keep it up!
…and thanks!
I picked up a 99 Ranger for $1000 from my friend trading it in for Camero. It had only 66K miles. Now 6 years later it still runs great at 125K miles. No major repairs. 👍🇺🇸 My best car deal yet.
One thing on the ranger, replacement parts are astoundingly cheap. Though I had to fix my 1994 a lot, the parts total was always lower than a monthly car payment.
That "rear end" gave me a good laugh.
Had a b4000 lasted years and got rid of it to a buddy it had 264000 miles and its still going today
It used to be the other way around. In the 70's I had a Mazda B1600 which was sold with a little bigger engine as the Ford Courier. It was made by the Toyo Kogyo Motor Comany in Japan.
1:06 Scotty broke the handle
Probably it was already broken he just tucked it in then he pulled it
I thought i was seeing stuff when he pulled it he completle moved over and talked about the bedliner
My cousin had one of these with the 2.3 4-cylinder. It got 250,000 miles then the odometer stopped. Then he drove it as his daily driver for about seven more years before he finally sold it. It also had the 5-speed standard.
I NEWW IT!! ALL THESE YEARS I THOUGHT THE MAZDA TRUCK WAS AN ADOPTED TWIN FROM FORD!!!
I got an 04 Ranger 4.0L 300k miles. She’s my daily. Paints still perfect
Must have been waxed regularly! Very cool!
I’ve got an 04 Ranger 4.0L FX4 with 286k. I’m the original owner and it’s my daily driver as-well. I’m glad to hear yours is still running strong.
@@TheAverageUSGamer I Also Have an '05 RANGER and Enjoy It!! Very Reliable has Taken Me Along The East Coast. Had a B3000 as well. Best Vehicle I Ever Owned!! My Ranger was Made in '04 and Just Turned 152K. Had It Since March of Last Year and aside of Maintainance; have only Done The 2 Coolant Temp. Sensors. Not Cheap if You send it to a Garage..
Have two, 98 and a 99, 4.0 auto, 4wd. Both over 200k. Drive them every day.
But any of your guys’ rangers red? Tbh all the colors of the ranger where nice
Being a Ford you can keep these things going forever and pay peanuts doing it.
Except for ball joints, I got a quote for $1,200 to get both sides done by a licensed Ford mechanic. So I'm getting it done by a small Mom and Pop Shop for about five and a half to $600
@@xCptLegendx Well I am talking about DIY mechanic. Ball joints are pretty easy to do, just have to rent or buy the tool to do it.

Lol lol
Just bought 99 ranger single side step w 77k miles body’s great for 200$ rebuilding engine and she’s gonna be my general green
Can't beat the older Ford Ranger! I bought my 2007 New, took care of it and runs like new at 150k
And Scotty don’t forget, the Rangers/Mazda’s have a fully boxed frame and won’t break in half like the junky, rusty overrated Tacoma’s. 😉👏🏻
Scotty let me know when your neighbor sells that 1990s gmc z71
Hell yeah, the Ford Rangers and their Mazda-badged derivatives are great trucks! There's a lot of old Rangers still on the road!
I have a 2009 Ford Ranger 2.3L. It is an amazing car, best one I've owned. I got it at 36,000 miles and now it just got to 200,000 miles. I haven't had to do anything, I've literally neglected it. Still, it has very little wrong with it. Right now, I just have to find time to change the valve cover gasket and spark plugs, which I haven't even touched after all this time. Once that's done I'm sure it will last to 300,000 easy. These little trucks are awesome in reliability, even if the comfort lacks. I don't know why Scotty reviewed the 3.0 though, because I've heard that's the worst one.
I miss my old '02 Ranger 4.0 4x4 5spd...it spend too many years in the northeast before I bought it and the rust claimed it with less than 80,000 on it.
I have a Ford Ranger 2.3 and I 100% agree. Its on 200k miles and still running clean
It was sad to see Ford discontinue the Crown Victoria and Ranger in 2011. They were older cars, but they were very good. I love old school cars.
I got one back in '98 brand new for $9k, no AC, not even a tape player, just a radio. I drive a BMW650i now...but I miss my old pick up truck
300k on my 94 3.0 ranger. 5 speeds and 3 pedals baby!
DSTY Yeah that’s the reason why I got a 4.6 V8 Mustang. Same engine as crown Vic’s but weigh a lot less.
I remember the last few months the Ranger was still being made there were a few local Ford dealers selling 2.3/5 speed 2WD rangers for $11k. Wanted one, just didn't have much of a use for one.
Scotty I currently am the proud owner and original owner of a 1999 Ford Ranger 4 x 4. I’m getting new tires put on it tomorrow and it’s still just as reliable as the day I bought it. I keep up with my own maintenance and I love telling people I haven’t had a car payment and over 18 years. I’m 38. Keep up the great work Scotty!!!
I've owned 2 Rangers. A 99 and a 94. They are by far the most reliable vehicles I've ever owned and extremely easy to work on. It's too bad they don't make a truck like this anymore.
Just picked up a 1994 b3000 se v6 manual 164k it's a badass little rig I have to say (simple) but she's a beast
My 1999 Ranger has 212,000 miles and still runs well, it will be very difficult to part with.
*Scotty* he's got one of these dumb cold air intake on it lmaooooo
Ikr 😂😂😂
Conroy Cordice Those things literally do nothing for stock cars. Waste of money. But i died when Scotty said that lmao
@@majinvegeta6346 well that's true but it's good for cars that are Dyno lolol
I disagree. A proper CAI that is actually outside the engine bay can actually slightly increase HP and gas mileage. I have one in my Mustang GT
@@angelgjr1999 for what I realise.... Car that carry bought maf and map seen to not work properly unless the. Car is tune for it
These are great vehicles, grandpa has had 2 regular cab ford rangers. Both 2.3L manual, first one he sold at 200k and the one he has now has 250k and still running great.
They team up with Isuzu. The new Bt50 likes amazing
I bought an '01 B3000 back in December. It's the exact same truck as my dad's '02 Ranger. Mines an auto so it's not quick without cargo and even less quick once you load it. Not sure I'd want to tow with it. It has 201K miles. These engines have an issue with the timing cover gasket failing. My dad has had to do it several times on his truck with similar mileage. I bought mine with a bad gasket. It's a pain to replace. It's a good truck overall for second vehicle and to have something to haul stuff or help others. If you just need a good truck to use as a truck, it's a good cheap option. I wouldn't say it's a great daily driver unless you like slow vehicles.
I have a 2002 ford ranger 2.3 motor 5 speed manual trany. Just turned 408,000 miles. But I would rather drive my Rubicon.
My family had a 1987 b2200 Mazda. Had over 500,000mi when my dad got rid of it. Very few problems over the years (alternator and fuel pump were the only things replaced other than the usual tires, windshield, battery, oil, filters,etc) and still had the original clutch when he got rid of it.
I got my 2000 Ranger. 132,000 miles on it. Love to drive it. Bought it 3 years ago for $5000. Still has low miles. Looks and feels real. It's still gets better gas mileage than the F150. Good VID
I just bought a 2000 Ford ranger TrailHead addition for $500. It's a 5sp with the 3.0 v6 and has 338,000 miles on it. I had to put a new clutch kit into it but other than that it's solid. Gonna be a new work truck. Down hear in south Florida, btw.
😎 Hey!! Thats the truck of Cris Fix🤭
I discover this years ago. I wish Scotty wouldn't tell everyone. Now the prices are going up.
Had an 84 ranger, sold it because it had problems i didn't want but when you biy a truck that sat in a field for over 2 years you get issues.
Just bought me a 2010 used ranger. 93k miles and looks well taken care of. Thank you for your recommendation
Still good? I want one so bad.
Rangers are decent trucks. Don't like getting stuck behind one though as they can barely get out of their own way, like S10s.
The 3.0 liter is a little slow. The 4.0 liter pushrod, not so much. 160 hp in a very light truck.
@SW H I've got a 2002 Extreme, 4.3/5 speed manual. I previously drove a 1992 2.8L V6/5 speed. They were both pretty slow, but I love 'em both. Good little pickups.
I like to puff on the Cannabis Cigar and get all schmoked up while watching the Scotty Kilmers videos.
🍻
Damn straight!
Hey you're back!
The Vulcan 3.0 V6 is a underappreciated bullet proof engine, a slow one but still
The Vulcan v6 solid bullet proof 3.0 liter buts stay away from those 24 valve dohc ones the blow heads way to often
Have a 1994 ford ranger... v6 Vulcan, 115000 miles... it’s my donkey. It hauls what I need, starts all the time. Perfect. Easy to work on
Iam quitting work right now. Iam buying some crack and meth. Iam smoking a joint, as I ride away from the liquor store. ......Iam doing all this because I know the world is ending. ....Scotty just liked a vehicle I actually own! !!!!!!
Haha want ur truck back
Awesome truck. Only parts that are hard to find/unique to this and the Ranger STX package are the tail lights.
Scotty changed the junkyard from a Chevy dealership to Fiat dealership. Lol
I had one. Till #6 cyl went out and lost the head. It was cheaper to get something else. However it was awesome
This is like The Toyota Matrix and the Pontiac Vibe! Both Great Cars!
🤫
Have you owned one? The second gen is a absolutely shitty car. Nothing but problems. Electronic problems with the radio wiring harness, alternator blew under 110k miles, parasitic draw, weak brakes, air bag module problems(unrelated to takata recall), transmission clunks and reverse, interior trim is coming off, and if you have a 2azfe like I do, serious oil consumption. Weve had ours for 10 years, a truly awful car
@@frankmagana1408 the Pontiac or Toyota
cool kid pontiac. But it doesnt matter because its a rebadged matrix built at a factory where a true GM car hasnt been made there since the 1982
@@frankmagana1408 I'll fix the 2nd generation vibe's electrical problems without an electrician's license
This video is amazing. Before even clicking I kept telling myself I hope he says Ford ranger. And sure enough as soon as he says "Mazda B3000" I was like "Hell Yeah" because they're the same thing but this just makes me want to buy one even more, thank you Scotty, PLEASE GIVE THIS A LIKE, much love.
The Vulcan V6 also is flexible fuel. It's kinda funny actually how an older vehicle could literally run on vodka
Had a B3500 4x4 it was a great small truck in tell engine went out and dealership replaced the eng had problems up on problems because they replaced with under powered Ford engine so make sure you you check them out close . make sure it's a Mazda engine not one for the Ford truck.
Ford rangers r great trucks but CHECK THE FRAME FOR RUST.
I absolutely love my 2011 ford ranger even tho it is a 4 cylinder. Got it with 150k miles and I've put on 20k since then and still runs great. Going to keep the truck till the wheels fall off
That V6 Vulcan is a beast. Mine had a few issues that made me hate it (lack of maintenance to cooling system and transmission abuse, and months of dealing with random shut downs and no-starts until I replaced a $12 fuel pump relay), but the thing is a beast.
90s Geo Prizms were really Toyotas. People were paying good money for them Corollas back in the 2000s and giving away the Geo Prizms. 😂🤣 Few car people knew.
Had a 93 prizm. Almost got 50mpg on highway trips if you can believe that. Great car til someone t-boned me 😪
Hectic Erectic I sold tons of those. I’d show people where it said Toyota in the engine and head right into do the paperwork
I owned a 96 Ranger 2.3L 4 banger with manual transmission when I was a teenager and into my early twenties. I learned to drive a manual in it. I was irresponsible and I abused the hell out of it; hardly ever changed the oil in it, nor any of the other fluids. It was the epitome of the term "ragged out". I bought it with 143,000 miles on it and in good shape. The odometer stopped working at 205,000 but that beast kept on ticking! I drove it for several years after the odo stopped working and I honestly have no clue how many miles I put on it. I know well over 250k, but I'd love to know how many exactly. She never left me stranded and always cranked. CEL stayed on, but I did the battery disconnect trick to pass emissions every year. I sold her for $500 in the end. I hope she made it to over 300k before she went to the junkyard.
I’m looking at snagging a 93 Ranger 2.3L 4 banger myself. According to them, it’s only a 73K mile truck... They’re asking $3,500. Guess we’ll have to take a look and see!
Good vid. i have a 79 ford courier. The fun thing is that if you bought the truck new you would have no idea if it had a ford motor or a mazda motor
"it's a pretty decent pickup truck..."
::pulls bed latch and it pulls off:: :D
I wish that I still had my Ranger. I loved that truck. It was a V6, extended cab, sport, 2WD. I had great memories with it. Sad
Scotty my 98 ford ranger ext cab w 3.0l with almost 300,000 miles is all orginal. And that ranger has not had it easy as I used it for work and pulling trailers. It's a way better truck than a Tacoma of that year, and you see far more rangers still going down the road than you do those Tacoma's. Toyota is to full of itself. Today a new Tacoma goes for a much as a f150 with out having have the capability of a f150 as far as payload and towing goes.
Ball joints, fuel tank straps, rear leaf spring hangers and shackles, ignition coils, exhaust manifold leaks, frames. All the usual Ford issues in the salt belt, most of these things melted away with the snow. Ranger is trash.
That USED rear end at 2:14 was a good deal
I had a quick question. I've been looking online and saw some relatively cheap 4runners from the 90's in some dealerships. They all have close to 250k Mike's and one owner while being well maintained. They are going for 1,500 dollars. Would that be a good price to buy it at? I was thinking about buying one as a gift for my dad
Yes. Buy them quick.
Damn I hope you bought one or two before the used car market went to crap.
