[Ranger850]

Some Turkey Just Paid $23,000 for a 2001 Ford Ranger

They really broke out the paint thickness gauge for the sale ad photos.

People gotta spend waste them stimulus checks somehow...

And to think, I paid $20700 for my 34,000 mile Lightning in 2009.

I didn't get 23k for a stimulus check... oh yeah, I was working still. STUPID WORK.

You need more kids... they were worth 500 bucks a pop!

EEF THAT! You don't want any more of my minions running around. They're too busy working their butts off to support themselves. Dad's not going to do that, I already did it for 18 years. I'M DONE!

A sucker born every minute...

I wouldn't exactly be bragging about and showing the AC putting out 54 F. deg. on max; mine reads 18 F with the same gauge, same settings.

Yea so... that's not right... the evaporator would be a block of ice and the AC stop working before it could hit 18f.

54 is not great, but 18 is wrong...

It's crazy... but it isnt. Like the article says, nobody's building that kind of truck right now. It's spotless, and can be considered barely broken in.

I wonder if the buyer is putting it in a collection or if they just really wanted a SMALL pickup with next to no options to run errands with the rest of their life.. work truck mabey? I want to know the full story lol.

The base 2022 Maverick is less than 20k and the same size with more power, payload and fuel efficiency. What advantages does that 20 year old ranger have that make it worth paying MORE money than a new Maverick with a full warranty? The base Maverick I literally just 20 years of technology put into the same fleet truck mindset of the old ranger.

I love my truck but I would never buy another one when I could be driving a brand new vehicle for less money... and I only paid 13k for my ranger brand new in 2010! I've been offered 8k for my truck and it was hard to turn that down. It's a 12 year old fleet truck!

Let me try it with a different gauge with an external temp probe. I figured 18 was impossible but it was a cheap Harbor Farce tool. Looks like I needed a new battery in the IR unit. My other gauge was more like it. After running on the highway it usually gets down to about 42 deg.

What happens when you get out and feel 104, ouch

Yea 42 is perfect lol. Depends on outside temp, somehow hotter makes it colder but yea high 30's to low 40's is pretty much the standard AOK temp.

@RonD knows this crap....
