2004 Ford Ranger 2 Dr Edge Extended Cab SB Reviews

I bought my Ranger 3 years ago with 17,000 miles on it.  It now has over 71,000 miles.  I love the way that it sits up high, like a full size pickup.  It does create a problem for short or physically challenged people getting in and out however.  

I had problems with the transmission from the time I bought the truck, and took it back to the dealer at least three times only to be told that nothing was wrong with the transmission.  (I have a feeling they just felt they could pull one over on a single woman).  Finally, when I moved to another state, I took it to a different dealer and they found what was wrong with the transmission and fixed it.  They told me that they couldn't understand why the other dealer hadn't fixed it since there had been a technical bulletin outlining the problem in 2005.

Other than that, the truck has not ever given me any problems.  Most of the miles that I have put on the truck have been highway miles.  On the highway, I average about 22 miles per gallon.

The truck rides well, and the seats are comfortable to me.  However, the extended cab portion comes equipped with jump seats, which are useless in my opinion.  It also is very difficult to get in and out of the back seat, or to retrieve items from back there.

All in all, it's been a great truck and I love it.

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
