I don't claim to be an expert on trucks but I can say this. I own a 2005 F250 XLT with the 5.4 liter. My wife drives a FX4 F150. I also have a 2004 FX4 Level II Ranger. All are great trucks. I never have had one problem with any of the three. The F250 actually makes a great family car. It rides like a luxury vehicle. The FX4 F150 is a nice truck but I think it pales next to the F250 in many respects. But the truck I always go back to is the Ranger which I have owned four of. I actually rather have the Ranger than the other two trucks. Its design may be dated but I just think the Ranger is a sportier truck, more fun to drive. I just wish they could squeeze a few more horsepower out of the motor, I wish they had a solid front axle. Maybe a tad more headroom. I think if Ford stops building Ranger's in some form it will be a big mistake. Why just cede the small truck market? I also think the Ranger name has some real value to it.
