Jonathan Caban love the look of rangers, I used to have one now I want to buy one again lol.

Yeah buddy, it's as good as a brand new truck as far as I'm concerned!

Hell yeah brother.

As long as you don't live in the rust belt these trucks just don't age , half the time you need to look under them to know if it's a gen 2 or gen 3 you're looking at . I just picked up a 2003 2 wheel drive Ranger Edge , 4 liter engine auto trans and only 164,000 km or just over 100,000 miles . They don't make proper light weight small trucks any more , and these average out at about 3100 pounds . or about the same weight as a McLaren 720S , new Ranger's can't say that new Toyota's can't say that . And if you have the 4 liter engine , 220 HP in a 3100 pound truck is damn near sports car performance . People with the little 2.3 engine claim that under a 100 HP is good enough , i believe they are wrong . Long live the best small pickup ever made .

@@OlderthanIlookyoungerthanIfeel yep had a 03 Deep Wedgwood Blue (rare) 2wd 3.slow for ten yrs till some kid made a left turn in front of me last year...great truck...after lookin in the tri state (NY,NJ,CT) area for 2-1/2 months finally found an 06 4.0 4x4 4 door only 76k miles with every option available...exactly what I wanted. Lucked out almost none around anymore, & when they are, they sell quick.

5.0 and go!

easy to v8 swap... pffft. if you dont mind loosing half the features of your truck or spend a million on parts to make it a perfect build. :) 4x4 v8 is a challenge believe me..

It sure will! Those tires are almost unstoppable

Patriot Mahem I have a 07 fx4 level II and where do u suggest I get my leveling kit from

Got a 94 myself 4 banger. People hate on it but it drives thru my big dirt construction jobs with ease lol

How much did you pay

George Sawtooth i have a 2010 ford ranger 4x4 with 397,xxx kilometres lmao

George Sawtooth stock trans and engine too. no troubles either

+ttsgeb Thanks for the tip, thank sounds like it's something good to know!

Thanks Matthew, I appreciate it!

That isn't too bad Malc!

You've got a nice one too, thanks!

I appreciate that!

1944johndeerel do they hum when you drive?

Brian Case not really. If you keep up on rotating them then they stay pretty quiet

Who cares?

+Reg Sparkes Thanks for stopping by Reg!

I always do and you're welcome, this is why I subscribed,..and by the way, I like the two tone color scheme and pin striping on your truck. It IS cool!

Yeah man it's a good forum, lots of good threads

The only problem I see with the 2019 Ranger is it has that EcoBoost engine in it don't know why they didn't put a V8 in it there's plenty of V8 options out there they could have gone with most Americans including myself would have loved a V8 Ranger those of us who own Rangers have put V8 in the Ranger but Ford would you afford things is best for Ford and not what fans of the truck want

@@addisondoty4231 Yeah, but honestly you can't complain about not putting a V8 in them now, they never really did before. I'm just glad what they put in it runs a hell of a lot better than my 4.0. I'm sure V8s will get more common as people mess with them.

Thanks mate!

When mine went my valves went through the pistons

If you weld one yourself, it will cost about 25 $ -30 $ in supplies.on eBay cheap Chinese one is 80-100$.

Same here, fucking brutal in town.

Swap out your front axles and hubs with ones for a 98' - 00'. Buy some aftermarket hub locks and you'll gain about one mpg. Cost me about $500 - 600 to do this although I needed one hub and axle anyway so, really only $300 - 350.

Truck has the same gears, tow hooks, and (lack of) skid plates as my 02 which isn't an FX4 but you might be right about the Bilstein shocks. I heard they came with either the FX4 or the FX4 Level II.

Tad Johnson fr I want those for my 2010 ranger

I just asked the previous owner and he said he thought it was around 3.75

+Jarred Monaco They are great, never getting rid of mine

I had the same truck. Now I’m looking for another one. I paid $6000 for mine in 2015. Now they want double the price for ones in worse shape

me too only is a lifted 2008 looks just like it tough

ricky weaver I have po135

Bd Realest i lifted mine 3inchs and needed to add spacers on the shocks dont lift it unless you change or put a spacer on them or it will rip as soon as you get on a speedbump or even just a little hole

Yeah man!

I wanna get a ranger but I don’t know if I should be concerned about getting one with an automatic transmission

@@luisdiaz1228 That all depends, Can you drive a car with a manual gearbox? do you prefer them to automatic? I know it the US Automatics are much more common than manuals but over here in Europe its the other way around. some people say you can get better economy from a manual car others prefer the control of a manual box. I guess when you get down to it its just a personal choice.

Not sure, I'd have to take it off to see!

Monster Mode14 looks like BF Goodrich

i have scangauge ii plugged into obii port at all times. besides being a scan tool for check engine light and such, it displays 4 gauges. mpg, instant mpg, intake temp, trans temp, throttle position, boost, and a bunch of others. can download other gauges if your car has the sensors for them. turns out most modern vehicles HAVE all the info, they just don't show us peasants any of it. they reset each time the car is started but you can go back and see what it is since fill up and whatever other options you can think of. i've been happy with it for about 5 years.

Up to 245,000 miles and still running strong!

Johnny Dale you can get them on eBay bud or check your local junk yards you’ll be surprised how many of these things end up there with good quality parts.

J450r hey what’s the mpg on a 04 ranger extended cab short bed xl trim v6

John Mcclane it depends on a lot of things such as wheels & tire size, how healthy the motor is and if it’s auto or standard, but stock ones usually get around 20-25 mpg

if you get a ranger, make sure you don't get one with the 3.0l v6, they suck ass.

Daegan Patterson 31x10.50R16

My 2009 I can get 350 450km. A tank. 4x4 4.0l

@@FRBYND ya I heard the 4.0 was supposed to be better on fuel sir the same as the 3.0 . you also get that extra snap in the throttle which would be nice. I find the my 3.0 is geared low.

An LSD is a differential that limits the amount of slip between the wheels it powers. The best way to think of it, is if one wheel is on ice and the other on pavement, an open differential (non limited slip) will spin the wheel on ice and no power goes to the one on pavement. With a limited slip differential, you'll get power to both wheels allowing the vehicle to move forward. That's being pretty generic as there are numerous types of limited slip differentials out there that behave differently. There are also locker differentials and spool differentials which do different things too.

@@Whiskey11Gaming thanks for the explanation.
