I’m curious for some thoughts and advice on buying my first Ford Ranger. I’m really wanting to buy a classic Ranger, something from the mid-90s and older. I found one on Facebook Marketplace that feels promising: 1986; 2WD; 2.0L (need to confirm that); 121K miles; body, bed and frame claim to be in very good condition though the paint is a bit thin; wheels are at about 80%; timing belt done a few miles back; ready to sticker and drive (all of this according to the owner/poster). This one’s $5,500. And for reference, I live in New England and the truck has been driven in New England for its entire life. I added some pics from the original FB post as well.
From what I know, the 1986 Ranger is highly regarded and really reliable. Is that true? What should I know about a used 1986 Ranger? What should I look for? What questions do you suggest I ask? Whatever insight you all have would be appreciated!
