Im trying to decide if this is worth the money! Ive been looking around for a ranger cause I miss my 97 and I know the engine well. This is a picture of the truck and the ad. Hes asking $3500 not certified. Its in good shape!

Here is a '95 Ranger 4x4 in amazing condition. Babied since new, this truck has always been properly serviced and it shows. Original mileage is 139 K kilometers. Automatic, power steering and brakes, cruise, power mirrors, etc. Floors, body and frame are rust free and in excellent condition. Electronic 4x4, hi low range with 4 speed automatic. Starts, runs and stops like new. Keith

Pranger, Just wondering how your gas mileage is with those 4.10's? Can you feel a big difference? Worth the buy?

I average about 16-18mpg depending on foot with about 60% city/30% highway/10% off road. I would spend the money if you have 3.73 gears and oversized tires, but I would get 4.56 gears if you plan on upgrading. Just my opinion.

Once you get out of the big cities where they get lots of snow... they just put sand on it and live with it.

Places like North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana... are actually pretty good places to get rust free bodyparts as long as they have been out in the boonies their whole life.
