Used Ford Ranger for Sale near Illinois

1987 Ranger 4x4 2.9L v6 5 speed Mitsubishi transmission Borg Warner transfercase Dana 28 front axle Ford 7.5 inch rear axle 4 inch Rough Country suspension lift 32 inch tires 15x8 American Racing Series 23 rims Owned the truck for 4 years now. Bought it stock and did everything to it myself.

Performance- Decent 4 wheel drive. I actually like lockers. The 2.9 liter v6 had no balls though. It was middle of the road for performance in my opinion. Build Quality- Well it was 17 years old when I bought it. Still was in good shape, only had a few rust spots. had over 160,000 miles on it I put another 40k on it before it got a crack in the head. I would say it was very mechanically sound till that point. I think 200k was all she had in her. Appearance- pretty much a basic box shaped truck. Once you jack it up and put bigger wheels on it, it really starts to actually look like a bad MF'er cost to own- got decent gas mileage, didn't require anything till it cracked the head, then it just fell apart after that. so I probably put into it for what I got it for. Fun Factor- Lots of fun with this little 4x4....lots of fun.

Best pickup in it's class! This truck is a great overall mid-size truck. If you want a nice looking, good performing, solid truck for work or for yourself.I have made a few modifications to increase overall hp. I also threw out the small tires it comes with and added larger, more robust looking tires. The ride on this truck is excellent for a truck.

Awesome truck...its a beast. It has plenty of power for the typical owner but you could always throw in a V8!!! Definitely get the 4x4 with the extended cab. It was a blast to drive and 4 wheel with too!!

I built it up from a stock 87 ranger, lifted it 10 inches. it now has a 4.0 SOHC from a 2005 mustang as a motor and axles from an explorer. 5 speed manual and its fun to beat on in the mud.
