I've been more of a car guy than a truck guy. My one exception was taking over payments of an old Ford Ranger from a cousin that grew up in my family. He was going into the Marines and just needed to get rid of the truck. It was a stick 4 banger. That thing was reliable and always easy to get fixed. It was a regular cab, which suited me fine back then. It got great gas mileage. Unfortunately, I could only go fast when going downhill. The baby engine tried. Nevertheless, it was great. It probably could have lasted forever, and maybe I'd still be driving it if not for someone turning into me at an intersection. Because it was a cheap Ranger with a ton of miles, it was worth like a 6 pack. So it got salvaged. But I still have fond memories of that little guy. 🥹🥹🥹🥹

If you can actually see the engine and have enough room to get to everything relatively easily, you know it is an older vehicle and will cost less to work on. I walked into a shop where they were working on a much newer pickup and they had the cab on the car lift above the pickup and the front fenders pulled off. I asked why and was told that they had to replace the head gaskets and in order to get to the top of the engine to work on it they would either have to pull the engine out of the vehicle, which was the harder option, or remove the cab and fenders. That tells me that they really really do not want the average person to be able to work on their own vehicles so they have to bring it in to the dealer so they can keep their shop busy.

the old ford rangers were good trucks. were built on the old bronco 2 chassis. but with a ranger be aware of the steering setup. those trucks were notoriously bad on upper and lower ball joints (pretty much every ford truck and van from the time period) also they can also have camber and caster issues that need addressing so you don't waste your front tires in a few months...

He took it in and they charged him over 150 dollars to replace it and that’s all they did even though the holes were plugged up bad. So after a couple weeks his truck had the same code back on. I took off his throttle body and cleaned it out real good unplugged the port holes cleaned his new egr valve out checked it to make sure it was working properly with a vacuum test put it all back together and it is doing just fine that was 3 months ago no more codes. They knew it was plugged up but because it was showing the 401 code for egr valve they just replaced it and sent him on his way.

My 2000 F-150 (4.2 V6, 5-spd) has 324k miles. Replaced the clutch 3 times (the real weak spot in that year's design as the throwout bearing is integrated with everything!), all-new peripheral "perishibles" (alternator, water pump, starter & power steering pump, coil plugs and wires) once. But otherwise, it's half-way back from going to the moon! Wish 1st was a granny though. Otherwise, it's been a really good truck!

This is a solid truck and was very under rated. I have had 2 Nissan dealers try to buy this truck in the last few weeks. LOL No way will sell this truck!

I had an ‘88 Nissan D21 Hardbody 4x4 5 speed 4 cylinder from my dad he bought new with 9 miles on it from the dealership We both put around 475k miles on that thing before I broke the transmission by hauling a lot and way heavier than what it was probably rated for up and down the mountains of NC, everything was all original parts except a new clutch and a radiator I assume both from having to climb those mountains so much. Some guy offered us way more than we thought it was worth (back in 2002) and he put a new transmission in it and is still driving it around today. Best truck I’ve ever owned!

The F250 with the 5.4 is a very reliable truck. Do be aware when looking to buy one. Expect to deal with the brakes locking up, often and replacing lots of calipers and pads. It’s faster than an f150 with the 5.4 for some reason, I assume they are tuned better. And the worst part is the gas mileage, avg 10mpg, the truck will say 11.5ish. It’s sugarcoated. And also the gas needle and miles to empty display is terribly calibrated. It don’t work accurately. It’ll piss u off.

But i gave it to my dad, 230k miles, broke a timing chain and replaced it, has a bad crank pos sensor, and that thing still starts, goes, and gets anywhere it needs to be on the oem engine. Luckily i think when his timing chain broke, none of the pistons made enough contact with the valves to blow up the engine. New belt and new timing, thing runs like a dream.
