2000 Ford Ranger 2 Dr XLT Extended Cab Stepside SB Review
Prosgood mpg, light truck, offroad Cons3.0L pretty slow, is a little on the heavy side for a light truck, doesnt have 4 comfortable seats
65
Yes — The 3.0L SOHC FFV engine is very reliable and has good torque, but slow. Never had a problem with the engine or components. The tranny is weak but gets the job done. Handles like a tank but dropping it 8'' doesnt help that. Can take a turn like a champ! The brakes are aftermarket bc of the 20'' wheels i managed to squeeze in there, but work good. The frame of the truck is very solid along with the rear axle. The inside is pretty nice. The look of the truck is very eye pleasing with nice body lines and curves. Rangers can look real nice when done right. I got the truck with 45,000 miles for $8,000. I think thats pretty good. Also it gets 23-26 mpg highway. Maintance is regular. The truck is fun to drive around town, shows, smooth roads, and turns. I love drivin mini trucks!

2000 Ford Ranger 2 Dr XLT 4WD Extended Cab SB Review
ProsIt gets better gas mileage than most other trucks ConsIts underpowered compared the the 2001+ models which have a 207 under the hood
45
The Ranger — Its only got a 160 under the hood so its a little under powered but it is definatley better than a little 2.3 L ranger. Ran a 17.6 at mapple grove. Gets between 15 and 17 around town and just over 20 on the highway. Not too bad for a truck Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.) | ||

Prosfour wheel drive Constoo high up, bad gas millage
65
P!nky's Review — Overall it is a good reliable car to have everyday. The performance on this car is that of a boat. It doesn't handle very well because it is a truck. It's appearance is great and it looks good. The cost of ownership is good, it's a reliable vehicle for maintenance, as for gas well it runs on unleaded and E85. It gets about 20 mpg. This is a very fun car to have with everything we have going on in Minnesota. | ||

My 2000 Ford Ranger — I love my truck because it has been extremely faithful. Even after all this time it still looks almost new and it still runs great! The only thing is that it's a 4-cylinder and I wish it had a little more power. | ||

ProsFullfills all of your needs, (with 2 smaller seats for the kids and plenty of room for transporting anything) and is fun to drive! ConsI used to like fords, but i think the only way it beats a foreign car is on the price tag. 
25
Perfect For Your First Truck! — I love the way this truck drives, although it is a a little slow accelerating, it handles nice and everything works pretty good, only a few problems with the tie rods and ball joints but the engine is amazing. i like the exterior style/color better then the interior. it is fun to drive, but it does eat up the gas pretty good. but it deffinatly beats a full-size pickup there.

ProsRangers are reliable, American, and great looking vehicles! ConsOnly avoid if 20 mpg is a necessity.

It Is A Good Solid Compact Pickup Truck! — For my Ranger to have a V6 it really does not show it. It only has 150 hp and its not slow but it could use a few extra ponies. The mpg isn't all that great either at just about 15 mpg ( I drive mostly city). Overall Rangers are good quality trucks and this baby is not an exception. This truck is relatively fun to drive but I wouldn't really call it sporty even though it does have the sport package! It is easy to drive, see out of, and is a much better truck than the Toyota Tacoma in terms of build quality. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
