Hello, new '08 Ranger owner here

[08Ranger]

Hey everyone, just got a 2008 Ranger FX4 Supercab with the 4.0L earlier this week and I am loving it. I had a 2wd '92 Ranger for 8 years and replaced it with a Jeep Cherokee. I am now replacing the Cherokee with a new Ranger. So, what do I need to know about this wonderful machine? Any known issues or problems to look out for? I am expecting it to go many, many miles as my '92 Ranger went to 160,000 before it blew a head gasket.

welcome to TRS

I suspect you shouldn't have any major issues with a new '08 4.0 Ranger... I have a '96 4.0 Ranger thats still running strong after 204,158 miles. And mine gets pounded on pretty hard

Thanks everyone. Here are some pics; I love the interior. Also note the truck is a good Hokie color! That is the Virginia Tech Hokies for those who don't know what a Hokie is.

I keep forgetting that most people have probably heard of the school because of the shooting.

I believe the school is moving on. I am an alumni from more than a few years ago so I don't know first hand how it is going, but I don't live far away.

man that truck is nice. Why did you have to make me jealous lol. I can see 2 problems off the bat tho. The outside is way to clean and your suspension isnt tall enough .
