Today I'm doing something a little different. I'm showing you my 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 2WD. I've owned the truck for 2 years. I have put a bed liner in it, replaced a couple of lights, put all new shocks on it, removed the chin spoiler, replaced the brake pads, and replaced the sway bar end links and bushings. I recently got a pair of rough country coil springs that are 1.5 inches taller than the stock coil springs and will level the truck, allowing me to put 31-inch tires on without rubbing (hopefully). I will be getting the front end suspension bushings replaced and will put the new coil springs in soon. Somewhere down the road, I plan on repainting it after all the years of faded paint it has had, but that'll have to wait. I have taken the Ranger on many adventures and will be taking it on even bigger adventures soon. I hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching.

I’d honestly want one of these as my daily driver and off road if at times while I work on my project car

2000 Ford Ranger was my first brand new vehicle. I was 20 and wanted something new. Mine was a super cab 2 door manual 3.0 V6. XLT. The tachometer was an option believe it or not. Mine was a manual and it still didn't have a tach but some higher end trucks did have it. Either way it was a terrific little truck.

A manual without a tach?

Great video man! We are on our 4th Ranger. The first one was a 83 with a horrible 2.0 4cyl. It was GUTLESS. Our 2nd one was an 88 with a 2.3 , 5spd 4X4 and it was an awesome pickup. My wife didn’t have it in 4WD and hit a patch of ice, flipping it in a ditch, totaling it. Our 3rd was a 90 with a 3.0 V6. It was ok, but we needed more hp and torque. Our current Ranger is a 2011 XLT super cab 4X4 with a 4.0 V6, 5spd auto transmission. We added a K&N intake and a 3” Magniflow exhaust. ( with these 2 mods we get 25mpg on the freeway with the cruise set on 75mph). We / I also added a LineX spray in bed liner, running boards, custom wheels, custom 2 tone paint, (Silver over Red metallic), red pinstripes, custom upholstery to match the exterior colors, adjustable air shocks in the rear (we haul a lot of top soil, gravel, etc), skid plates. It has every option available on the 11 XLT including a tow pkg and limited slip differential. I change the oil every 4K miles with Mobile 1 full synthetic and I change the front and rear differential, transfer case and a transmission flush every 30K miles, ( which I do on every vehicle we own). Our Ranger will soon be 12 years old and it only has 35K original miles. I’ve been offered $25K for our Ranger, (KBB without the mods), but I think it’s worth at least 28K. We’d like to buy a full size pickup, so any offers over $27K will be considered. If you had the hood repainted and had yours 2 toned with tan metallic, it would be a show stopper.

I use a ford ranger for my mobile detailing business. Couldn’t find a ford van, and better than a f150 for my purpose.

From the video it looks like you're pretty tall. I'm 6'4" myself and I'm wondering if this truck is accomodating for tall people despite being compact.

@MichaelVanHeemst 3 жыл бұрын

I’m 6ft tall and have no problems with headroom. There are probably three inches of extra room above my head or maybe even more than that. I don’t think I even have the seat all the way back either. Might wanna just try one out for yourself though...

@@flonkas It's in a completely stock state. All I have done is routine maintenance and replace parts. The only things I have absolutely had to replace was the radiator, water pump, timing chain cover gasket, the timing chain, and the AC compressor. I bought the truck with 157K and it now has 184K. It's done thousands of miles on dirt. I'm pretty happy with it to say the least.

How much these going for nowadays

@MichaelVanHeemst 2 жыл бұрын

Most are more than 3k around me. They have gone up to more than 4k recently with the way the market is. A nicer one will cost quite a lot of money for the amount of vehicle you get. They are good little trucks no matter how you cut it though. They hold their own
