sincei took the mustang off the road early (long story) i decided i may as well start looking for a truck now. a deal came up that i really liked so i took it. its a 2000 ranger xlt 4.0 4X4 with the off road package andis fully loaded, its also my first car with A/C lol. i was looking at rangers and F150's but due to gas prices and i really don't need a full size truck right now i decided on the ranger sice its nice to have a truck to take to the lake. the truck is very clean with a few minor swirls in the paint (nothing my buffer can't take out ) the interior is very clean too.

heres some pics






sure beats my little tempo

Those are nice little trucks. The 4.0 is a good engine, they run pretty much forever. You will really like it!!

be glad you didn't get the 3.0L engine......what a slug!! barely enough to run a taurus..why they put it in a Ranger. only an automotive engineer can explain that decision..

bassically this winter i planned on pulling the motor to clean up the engine bay. THEN i blew a headgasket, so i just sped up my plans on cleaning up the car and pulled it off the road. since to change the head gasket i needed to pull apart half the motor anyway and i would rather do it on an engine stand and weld a proper bung for my turbo's oil drain line at the same time. but honeslty i don't have time right now to do a headgasket with me going on holidays in 2 weeks
