The amount of old rangers I still see on the road around here, despite the salty rust conditions making older vehicles kinda rare on the road, makes me think people still really really want non monster pickups. Congrats on the HRT tho

They are fun little trucks to drive. I had one a long time ago for work.

There was a time Rangers were considered larger trucks because they have an extra row of passenger seating. I’m not old, you’re old!

Mine was the first vehicle I bought with my own money, and I still drive it every day (although it’s getting a little more painful to fill up since it’s not great on gas). A word of warning for you Ranger owners: if you have one with the 4.0L SOHC engine, especially an earlier model, take it in and have the timing chain tensioners replaced, or you can do it yourself if you have the tools. It will help prevent the dreaded “death rattle” that could lead to an engine-out repair or even a destroyed engine.
