2005 Ford Ranger User Reviews

Rating Ford Ranger 4x4 — The only bad thing is that she's really heavy on fuel but yet again it's nice to have some power under you're right foot if you need it!!!!!!!!!! Other than that there's no problem, handles well, performance is great (on- and off-road) for a pick-up and it's verry nice to drive in town and on the long road to HENTIES!!!!!!

Reliable, Sturdy Truck That With Average Sized Bed And Cab. — I like the look of this truck as well as the handle it has when driving. Its easy to control and visibility is quite high since you are higher up than most vehicles. Full back window makes it easy to see from all angles. The cab space is limited, but for a truck the gas mileage is quite good and plenty of space for things in the trunk (just not people).

Best Of The Last! — I bought this 4WD pickup for a "go to work" vehicle. I worked on various construction sites around SE Michigan and most parking lots on new construction sites were temporary lots of dirt and gravel. Mix that with mud and snow during the winter and spring seasons and you can see why a 4WD vehicle is a priority. For the long distant jobs, I needed the reasonable gas mileage afforded by the Ranger. The creature comforts provided an enjoyable setting for the often hour to two hour trips to and from work. After I retired, I used the truck to carry garden supplies, new ornamental trees, and shrubs from the local nurseries. I like having the more comfortable ride than a full size pickup and still having the utility when needed. Living in a rural area with little snow plowing in the winter, the Ranger gets me where I need to go. The vehicle my wife drives is a Chrysler Town and Country minivan. With all the mechanicl and electrical problens with that thing, it's hard to believe they are both 2005's. Only problem I have had in 6 years, is the ABS sensors in the front rotors. Put new rotors on with those and all is like new again. It's great to just turn the key and go!

Primary Use: Commuting to work

A Very Good Truck — its got 270hp and 282ftlbs i upgraded the brakes and all of the fluids to syenthic, its got a K&N air intake, rancho rs 5000 front and rear shock, oversized factory stock tires they are 255/70/R16. i put awestin black brush gaurd with a hand grande and a skull mounted on the brush gaurd.The bulid quailty is good everything is very easy to work on and bulit very solid. i love the interior carcaol and back seats, with viynel flooring very rugged, the piant needs some work, but i do use it to carry scape metal. very fun to drive around in the speaker system is great, the ride is smoother than most trucks, and plus u can go off road cause its 4x4 can u can take it just about anywhere. i love my truck and i would never sell it and i would recommend this truck to anyone.
