My Truck — This is a real truck. It may not be an F-150/350/650, but it's the biggest official Ford pick-up in the UK. It does everything I ask of it, and more. 35mpg, four years and 40,000 miles on the original tyres, five years and 55,000 miles on the original clutch and brakes, and they're still going strong. Aside from the rubber, all I've had to replace is lamps and wiper-blades. It's quiet, relaxed, spacious, imposing so not very often cut-up or intimidated by other road-users, and the ICE isn't too damned bad for an OE unit. I'll keep it til it drops - and I think that will be some time yet!

My Driver — I love this truck although it only has a v6 it still can drag its butt outa the mud. After the 33s it rides a lil ruff on the highway but all in all it rides really well for the tires that are on it.

A $6.000 Dollar Mistake — This car has been a disappointment, overall. It is under powered, has needed front end repairs 2 years in a row, driver's door handle broke, and the gas mileage is way lower than it should be on a 4 cyl engine

Great Truck! — Great truck, the 3.0 V6 is a strong motor. Not the fastest thing in the world but reliable and will last forever. Built great for a compact truck, solid interior and you can tell its build correctly. Highly recommend for someone that doesn't need a fullsize but still needs a truck

My Ford Ranger Edge — Performs pretty well. Interior isn't all snazzy and what not, but it's all good. Exterior is a nice plain white paint job. Very fun car to drive, you own the road. Gas mileage isn't horrible, I can manage with it.

V8 Please!!! — Ford needs to invest in a v8 for the ranger. I honestly love the looks of the ranger as of late. Gas mileage isn't too bad. I have never had it on a long highway drive yet. The interior looks like any other ford, too much in common.
