They are not uncommon at all just like the explorer 2wd.I had one.You could put 200 pounds in the back and go almost anywhere.In the snow anyway.That is one thing I would like to see this site get and that is actual production figures on all the models.Ford keeps excellent records on everything they build and yet it seems hard to get the actual numbers on production.I have called them twice and they seem unwilling to help in this area.It would be neat to know how many rangers had the manual transfer case each year or how many ranger GTs were built and the 2wd bronco 2 or whatever one would want to know.The only thing I have found so far is how many were built each year in percentage,according to engine/trans and 4x4 and also a/c,p/s.No actual numbers just percentage.Hopefully someone can get them to open the vault.
