I had a bare bones 1981 Ranger. I think brand new that thing was 8 grand.
Our current vehicle is a 2000 Ford Ranger with a 3.0 V6. It has 144,000 miles on it. I have replaced the transmission and when the frame became too rusty me and some friends located or should I say scavenged enough steel pieces to re-weld the frame completely until it’s better than New. I don’t think I will ever have enough money to have a truck with four valves per cylinder and twin turbo chargers with an 11 speed transmission worked on.
