like that its a stick. 5 speed. but i def want something with a much larger motor than a 4 banger. and i want a larger cab and truck. so if we could just take the "bean" and enlarge it greatly i would be satisfied.. although i do think that when i do get a new truck i will make the ranger my new project and probably raise it up a bit, ill have to cut the wells a bit so i can throw on bigger tires and make it look beastly, but for a vehicle for a college student i can not complain. gas mileage is great for being a truck. but winter driving can be a pain. it doesnt handle the greatest on even the slightest slippary roads.. so a cautious driver is needed.. but as for repairs and such, i have never had a serious problem

Pros: the fact its pretty cheap. and sturdy
Cons: the size, the poor handling, and the fact its so standard

I like the fat that the stock driveline was scrapped and I droped in a 302 v8 and a c6 transmission. the stock 2.3L I4 was great on gas with a 5 speed manual begind it but was lacking in the preformance end alot.

Cons: cab is cramped for a tall guy
