Used 1996 Ford Ranger XL for Sale near Springfield, IL

the truck is a good economical vehicle. i can beat the piss out of er and still get 20 mpg. watch out for older rangers with the leaf spring mounting locations. they rot out and rot the frame near the gas tank so keep your truck clean y'all

weak as hell 4 cylinder engine, overweight truck, unspectacular in every way

Its a quality vehicle, it hasn't needed much work done. Dependable, not exactly what I want to be driving. 4 cylinder engine makes for pretty poor performance. Good gas mileage, not much fun to drive, except in the snow, rear wheel drive and no weight in the back can be a good time

Not for the lead footed driver, you'll be sorely disappointed in the lack of "get up and go" this truck has. BUT it is a solid reliable pickup for everyday use that's decent on gas. There are better engines out there but Ford managed to make a good engine with decent amounts of torque that doesn't stop you at every gas station. Overall a nice pickup that has served me well for over 10 yrs and I plan on having it for a few more.

First car given to me, It was an old Monroe Muffler truck. Most basic model you could buy, beat all to hell, but well maintained mechanically. Rubber floors, the seat had a hole in it, and the drivers seatbelt didnt like to stay buckled. It sounded like a wet fart when I stepped on the gas
