I meant '83-'11 Rangers, but this is most interesting, do carry on...
We’re on page 2... you’re EXTREMELY lucky we’re still talk about engines. We could be discussing the average weight of a seedless watermelon by now.

Crossed threads are tight threads.

I did get some interesting responses...apparently the 4.0's are more common than I thought.

I do have some gardening questions....

Are you quoting someone else’s data, or have you conducted your own study?
It's a blind survey comprised mostly of throwing them off over passes at cars.

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.

How about a survey done by throwing them off a bridge at blind people

Tesla has a 2.9?

Wouldn't the 2.3 take the lead - all the "contractor" Rangers - Orkin, NAPA, etc. Up here they all had 2.3/manuals.
The good old days when you had to concentrate on driving, not the latest text.​

Just the right size to touch the ground.
Don't forget, Polaris makes a Ranger too.
