So, I found two trucks and I'll probably be getting one of them this week...

Which one would you say is the best, and can anyone tell if the second picture (the green one) is 4x4 or not?

Thanks...

buy them both and youd be able to make one reliable truck.

Well, I need something cheap right now, and it will be cheaper and easier to buy one of these instead of fixing my BII...

I was kinda leaning toward that one... All it needs is a little buffing, right? Haha... I don't mind the work it needs, as long as I can drive it home, I'm cool...

If it's the true mileage, I'm pretty sure it still has the 5-digit odometer... so no one can really tell...

Yeah. My ranger has 215K on it.
I guess it's all about how well it's taken care of.

i would go for the first one , even though it did not pass emissions , it could simply be the dpfe , plus the second one needs fuel line work , so you wont be drivin it home , and the first one looks very well taken care of

I was kinda wondering if fuel line work meant I wouldn't be driving it home... The silver one looks taken care of, that 200k is just a big number, lol... Although, my Ranger has almost 200k and I would trust it driving cross country...

Yeah, but who puts a brush guard on a 2WD? Haha... I bet I don't need 4WD with that brush guard though, lol...

Run a carfax or autocheck on the VIN# and it should give you an idea if the mileage is BS or not.

1.) Don't you have to pay for a Carfax?
2.) How do they know what the mileage is?
