Hey,
I'm looking into getting a Ford Ranger, and I'm stuck where to start. I'd like a 2000 model year or above, 4 door, under 200k miles, 4x4, automatic, and a lift if possible. Is this a reasonable criteria for $6,000 or less?
Also, how is Ranger reliability and safety? I'm a teen- I don't want to kill anyone! I'll be chauferring around a 9 year old most of the time to and from school. How is the back seat safety? How is gas mileage? What should I look for when inspecting a truck? Is it better to buy pre lifted- isn't it abused? Is the ranger good offroad? How is parts and accesory availability?
If you got this far, and are over 21, here's a
Thanks a lot!
