For reliability it was great..Only replaced a clutch.
Performance is not good but then again it is a 4cyl 5speed.
The apperance was great when I got it not so much anymore.
I love driving this truck and the gas mileage it gets is very good for a pickup.

It has squeaks and rattles now but then again it has 160,000 miles on it. I have owned it since 70,000 and have had to replace just a clutch.

Pros — Quality, Value, Reliability
Cons — Performance

Needs some body work due to a deer It did need a new starter twice in six months time has been good tho since the 2nd time changing  and there is a PFE sensor that wants to keep going bad it gets great mileage cannot complain about that this truck is very fun to drive I love standard trannys they are more economical and seem to last longer this truck is probably one of the best vehicles I have ever owned thanks Dad for selling me this truck :) definetly would recommend this truck to a friend

Pros — Very good on gas

I originally bought this truck to do alot of aftermarket thing to, as you can tell, its a small truck but does awsome with them. There are so many more good things about the ranger then bad.

Pros — very reliable, never had any major problems, a solid truck, great apperance, alot of aftermarket products. comes in a 5 speed manual
Cons — the engine could be stronger, especially after installing aftermarket products

The exterior has Mickey Thompson 15*8 wheels, Dick Cepek 31*10*50 tires.  It has Echo Chamber 4" tip dual exaust.  2" lift, and black euro tail lights and corner lights.  Interior is pretty much stock except for the 12" Alpine type R Subwoofers with 1800 watt Kicker amp.  Alpine head unit with Ipod adaptor.

Pros — It will go anywhere!
Cons — Just not very fast.

I only had a 4-cylinder so the power wasn't there.  But I pulled a jet ski trailer with two trailers and it did just fine up in the mountains.  I owned the truck for over 9 years and the only major maintenance was one new clutch.  Otherwise it was regular scheduled maintenance.  Gas mileage was pretty good too at about 20 mpg.

Pros — Dependability
Cons — Lack of power in the 4-cylinder

I've had my truck for about a year and beside the previous owner not maintaining the motor and foircing me to either replace it or scrap it i must say i love the little truck

Pros — 3.0L V6 has enough pep to get the truck up to speed
Cons — the motor and transmission combination is lacking for highway speeds
