im looking to buy a ranger with 166k on it. whats the average life expectancy of these trucks engines? i know they can go on for longer, but would this be worth buying?
 
What year? Trim package? Price? Is it beat up? My old 94 had like 240*** before I crashed it. As long as you take of it it should last but if the previous owner ripped on it all the time I would stay away.

its a 94' splash ranger, mostly hwy miles, clean, and everything is in good running condition. the whole car is $2995 so pretty cheap. not sure what its running on, but it looks like the wheels are a little bigger than stock
 
I would check blue book value. That sounds a little high for a truck that old with that many miles.
 
I don't wanna see you get beat. Get the blue book value and start with that. You can only go down from there.
 
I started using Amsoil in it when the truck had 41,000 on it. Used Amsoil in the diff, transfer case and tranny. It pays to use good oil.
 
My 98 3.0 has almost 186,000 on it and it still starts up and has plenty of power to spare! If it has the 3.0 i would consider it i stand by this motor its mean and sounds mean as well i do regular oil changes and keep up on the plugs, wires, and belt system so she a tough truck
 
My 99 3.0L 5 speed 4wd is at 266,180 and not a dash light on or a single mechanical problem. I love my truck! Wish it had more power though :(
