I had a Mazda B2000 and a Toyota HiLux in the 80s & 90s, but haven't had a truck since. I started looking for a low-mileage compact truck and had a tough time finding a clean truck at a reasonable price - been looking for months. Then I got lucky - saw this truck on Craigslist and was the first to see it & make an offer. It's a 2003 Ford Ranger 2WD XLT 4DR SuperCab with Flareside bed, 3.0L V6 & 5-Speed Automatic Transmission. And it has only 36K miles - it looks like 3-4 year old truck, not an 18 year old truck!

I can hear some chirping under the hood - just ordered a Camshaft Synchronizer to fix that - and the truck still has the original tires(!) so I'll be getting some new rubber for it, too. Can't wait to get out on the road once I get those taken care of ...

Thanks - Per the brochure I guess color is called "Arizona Beige Metallic" ... another one of those colors I don't think I would have sought out, but looks good and it's growing on me.
