Great style and capabilities, tons of torque, limited slip
rear axle, big v-6, fun to drive. got manual windows,
locks, and mirrors, but it's not that bad. Got a good
deal on it, $11K with less than 50K miles, hoping to
take it off-road at some point and test its capabilities.

Pros — Style, power, fun
Cons — Manual gizmos

Love the sporty little 4-banger. Get good gas mileage (bout 22-24 mpg) and good get up and go for a 4-cyl. Little cramped sometimes. Just typical maintanence with oil changes etc. The truck is very very fun to drive and handles real nice for being a truck. Future plans are a lift and bigger tires.

Pros — Good gas mileage. Fun to drive
Cons — SMALL!!!

for a 3.0l V6 it isn't bad.  Pulls what i have to gets
20mpg, and jumps nicely to.  takes a beating and will
not stop. a/c gets cold quick, acceleration isn't bad for
a small V6, build quality is good considering it's the
cheap model, maintenance and mpg is average for
small size truck (takes 6 quarts of oil wear my 5.9l V8
dodge only took 5).  5spd manual is great to drive,
love the handling and the supension only wish there
was more after market crowd

Pros — great a/c, durable, good mpg
Cons — 3.0, 2wd,

Nice trucks from the factory.  Much more fun than a full size and quicker than a full size from the factory, compared to a F-150.  Even the 4.0 is a little doggish though.  A couple bolt ons and they will move though.  Easy to  park, comfortable, only gets about 17mpg from the factory.  Can't hull many people or very much cargo.  Great for around town and picking up things like appliances, very comfortable with 2 people, 3 is fine for short distances.

Pros — Cheaper then some mid-sizes much more affordable than full size. FUN!! puts a smile on your face when you blow past ricers that think they are fast.
Cons — Can't haul many people or heavy loads, gas mileage isn't great.

Great truck with the 4.0L engine, but it could always use the 4.6L V8 if Ford would offer it in the Ranger.  

Pros — Great color, great interior, great engine, people always think its new when its clean, and comfortable seats.
Cons — Needs rear disc breaks instead of drum and take the governor off 90mph!
