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!!!!!!

Pros — PERFORMANCE
Cons — GAS MILEAGE

The acceleration is ok, you really have to have a heavy foot to get it going off the line. However, during the acceleration it  has great sound, I love driving my Ranger because of it. Only thing I regret about it is the gas mileage, its pretty bad for a 3.0 V6, the best I've ever got was 290km...per tank.

Pros — Great build, Nice sound, Horrible traction in the winter (some see it as a negative, i see it as a Positive..makes driving fun!)
Cons — Gas Mileage!

I do not recommend this truck without 4 wheel drive.
With 2 wheel drive it can still tow the fishing boat but it has some trouble in bad weather.
You can turn off the passanger airbag which is convenient if you have smaller people in the truck with you.
The truck gets great gas milage (especially for a truck).

Pros — gas milage, ability to turn off airbag
Cons — poor handling in bad weather unless you have 4 wheel drive

good little truck, bought it with 40k a year ago, now has 95k. run it mostly as a commuter 120-180 miles per day. I dont really like the torsion bar front end, as it makes it hard to get a suspension lift. after its paid off I'll be looking to swap in a solid front axle then put about 8in of lift under her

Pros — the 4.0L is a great engine, you can smoke the tires no problem, pretty good hauler
Cons — should have got the rear door option

This small truck does not lack the ability to carry around big loads. decent size bed makes it easy to move around anything. interior is at the bare with no power windows or locks on my model. radio, cd player, tape player, air condtion works well. No engine problems yet and steering is strong.

Pros — This is the first truck i bought with my money, decent power under the hood, can carry around anything now
Cons — sucks up gas a little fast, cant take it to the clubs

I bought this truck as a replacement for my 98 Ranger that was destroyed by a drunk driver. I was extremely impressed (and tremendously thankful) that my 98 held up as well in the crash as it did.

Pros — New 2.3L Duratec is a better engine than the older 2.5L Lima engine.
Cons — Lots of noise inside the cab when driving (wind, road noise, etc).
