Used 2007 Ford Ranger for Sale nearTacoma, WA

I purchased a new 2007 ranger 4-door sport this week from Fundy Ford sales in Middleton Nova Scotia.The sales team was very helpful and seemed to work well together.The first impression of the vehicle was a good one .I was impressed with the good but solid ride quality as well as the abundance of power for a small truck.The fit and finish is second to none , no squeeks ,rattles or odd noises.Ive owned a new Toyota and like this one almost as much, probably more when you factor in the price difference.The sales team at Fundy Ford had all accessories installed and ready to go even though I called mid day the day before to ask them to under coat as well as add the electronic rust proofing device.They did so and the truck was ready and polished the next day when I arrived a half hour early to pick it up.The dealer really can make or break the experence of buying a new vehicle.Mine made it pleasurable.I have put about 550 kms on now and love it.The only annoiance I have is that i hate the process involved in removing and replacing the tonneau cover .It takes too long and is a general pain ,I'm getting rid of it and getting a TruXedo .The tonneau in my only complaint.

I ordered a Ford Ranger STX with the extended cab minus the rear door option and left out the jump seats. I like the truck except for the cheap plastic parts which are failure prone. The center console in mine has completely failed with a center crack transverse to the part which renders it unable to remain in position. Both the upper and lower portion has the crack and I can't see any method of making it stronger or less susceptible to cracking. The front air dam is what lead us to want this model when we saw one in late 2006. However we have found it is weakly attached and at low temperatures is highly susceptible to vinyl beakage rendering the part unable to remain in a position where it looks acceptale. The bucket seats aren't all that comfortable but are acceptable. The seat belt tends to twist and run under making it upside down and difficult to return to the correct position due to the tight clearance of the belt where it goes through the buckle. Gas mileage using the cruise control is about 26 MPH. Performance is about equal to our 2008 Mustang which both have the 6 cylinder engine and similar performance characteristics. The Ranger isn't as aerodynamic as the Mustang getting slightly less gas milage.

Performance - acceleration - Great, braking - Needs ABS and EBS, handling - Great Build Quality - has it needed repairs? - No repairs, squeaks/rattles - None Appearance - interior - basic and functional, exterior styling - looks great needs wrap around bumper with winch mountings Cost of Ownership - fuel mileage - good but could be better, maintenance - costs are low Fun Factor - is this car fun to drive? - fantastic to drive, good fun

It' great for everyday use, it's got room to haul stuff, it's 4x4 for off road and winter use, it can tow 6000 lbs and it's not bad looking. Power - mine puts out about 268 hp and 313 lb/ft torque (it's modified with tuner unit, intake, ignition system, and magnaflow exhaust)(stock numbers are 221 hp and 265 lb/ft torque) it's quick for what it is but still only mid 15s 1/4 times. Quality - no warranty work yet as of 3 yrs and 43,000 miles Appearance- it looks like a truck should but is smaller than an F-150 or Ram. better than S-10 but not quite a Lightning pickup Cost - zero maintenance costs, mileage (stock is avg 21mpg) modified is about 25mpg when I'm not beating on it Fun- It's fun to drive because of decent power and 4.10 ratio gears, the interior is sporty, and it is very capable off road

This is a great vehicle for the price. The performance is outstanding with the 2.3 liter engine. I get about 30 MPG on the highway and about 23 all around. This is a reliable truck with great quality, I have driven several small trucks and the ranger is by far the best built.
