I am looking to purchase a Ranger and have chosen not to pursue a Duratec because of the extensive use of plastics in the engine compartment that are more susceptible to warping and degradation from heat and pressure, and I have also noted the inherent difficulty of replacing the valves on the coolant line should there be a leak. With that said, I have looked primarily at '95 through '97 Rangers for reliability, simplicity of repair, and even overall aesthetics. I have found three examples thus far, and I wanted to garner your thoughts on each one:
1. 1995 Ford Ranger XL Super Cab (4.0 OHV V6 (Cologne), M5OD Transmission, RWD, 152k Miles, Teal Exterior, Grey Interior, $2,000 Asking Price)
2. 1996 Ford Ranger XL Super Cab (2.3 SOHC I4 (Lima), M5OD Transmission, RWD, 170k Miles, Black Exterior, Grey Interior, $1,600 Asking Price)
3. 1995 Ford Ranger XL Regular Cab (3.0 OHV V6 (Vulcan), M5OD Transmission, 4×4 (Manual-Transfer Case and Manual-Locking Hubs), 150k Miles, Burgundy Exterior, Grey Interior, $1,500 Asking Price).
