Howdy,

I'm not a current Ranger owner but figured I'd register and look for information since I'm currently considering one. The only Fords I've owned in the past are three Probes that were all terrible decisions in their own unique ways.

I currently drive a Cherokee and a Forester, planning on relieving myself of the Cherokee if the Ranger works out.

Um... I live in Pittsburgh, PA and I like long walks along the river and .. no wait it's not that kind of site...


So hi.
 
Welcome from Williamsport, Pa. What year rangers are you interested in? And what do you plan on doing with it?
 
It's a 2004, I posted a thread one subforum up.

It'll pretty much be used for hauling crap from Home Depot to home while I work on our remodel, driving to work, etc.

No towing, no off roading, etc, just boring stuff.

Hey guys,

One of my fiancee's coworkers apparently fell in love with my Cherokee she's been driving and wants to trade me his '04 Ranger extended cab for it. I don't know anything about it beyond it's higher mileage (180k), blue, and 2WD.

I'm going to meet him after he gets off work today to discuss it further.


That said, what should I be looking for as far as model-specific oddities and failure points?

I know my Cherokee from bumper to bumper and will be showing him every little paint ding and annoyance point, but it doesn't sound like he knows his Ranger very well and has only owned it for a short time, so I don't know if he'll be aware of what to look for to point out to me even if he were planning on being up front about it.

I'm not exactly all-in on the idea of the trade, but I've been wanting a pickup anyhow so I figure I may as well go in armed with knowledge.

Thanks in advance :)
 
welcome, hooligan also enjoys those river walks too ;?) lol j/k had to
