I'm thinking of purchasing a new Ranger with the 2.3L. I had an 89 years back with 2.3. It was a little weak, but ran and ran.
I don't really do any aftermarket stuff, so I was wondering how the motor is.....is it strong for a 4 cyl? Any durability issues? The one i'm looking at has 4.10 gears....don't know if that makes a difference? How about fuel economy. I'm trying to decide b/w the 2.3 and the 3.0 V6. So far the 2.3 seems to be a better value.
Also, anyone have any hauling issues with this motor?
Thanks everyone for your help. Great site.
