BTW, I have someone coming in tomorrow to buy her it looks like. This little truck took some more time than I'd like, to move!


On the comments in the previous post:

If it were a useless truck there would be no demand for it by consumers. No demand would mean it would not be made. Since it exists in the market, there is obviously a demand for it by enough people for Ford to bother making it

If practicality was the key to every vehicle, then there would not be fast cars, since you get half the mileage if your lucky and can only go as fast as the 4-banger next to you legally

Why is 100,000 miles this "golden barrier" ? Most vehicles built from 1995-up will run 200,000 + before having major issues (if they've been maintained). So what the first 10 years of it's life is gone, there's still AT LEAST another 10 years left. And with the average consumer owning a car for a little over 4 years I don't see a 100,000 mile car runing out of life before you get rid of it .

The Rangers in my step-dad's fleet he maintains run to about 280,000 before they start having transmission issues. All 4cyl 5 speeds that carry vending machine parts and a/c compressors all over the state. When I say maintain, they do oil changes, tires, and brakes, anything more and they get rid of the vehicle

I saw a Ranger towing an F150 today. My 95 escort hatchback has towed a Buick Le Sabre before, 138 miles. Weight is superficial, just depends on how much fun you want to have towing!
