Best little pickup

With only 45k haven't had any problems. Now a Ford man 4 life. Wouldn't consider any other makes. Love the service at Kearney Mesa Ford also. No complaints or regrets. My next vehicle will be another ranger too.

I love my truck

I love my truck , I have had 4 of these style rangers . The overall costs for maintaining has been pretty good. I don’t like the big huge trucks , costs more to buy and more to run . I know my truck but I was told that the vehicles that are being made now are junk with a big price tag. I knew that the car makers were coming out with a truck that was between mine and a bigger truck so I waited to see the new ranger and was very disappointed with what came out , it is ugly . The price for any of these in between trucks is way out of my price range so I will just keep fixing my truck and maybe a paint job .

I have the king of the rangers

250+ thousand miles . 9 inch lift. . On 35 now 37" tires . original engine and trans... Crazy . I have built truck a fx4 level 2 over last 10 years. Just continue to be amazed by the miles I put on it without re build. I've been expecting transmission or engine re build for 5 years. Still runs strong...

2004 Ford Ranger

Great older truck! Sturdy for its size, strong, love the 4x4 action and posi-traction. With a little larger tires it looks great and fun to drive! Wish Ford could have continued this line. The new Rangers are a little over-designed and over-priced in my opinion.

Fine truck.

I've owned Rangers for years. Very dependable and comfortable to ride in. I do not speed on the highways and on my longer trips, like to Montana, I put it on cruise control and get slightly over 30 miles per gallon.

197300 m. Running like new.

My pick up truck is my work horse. And mine is running like new. From interior to exterior. This truck is primaries used for work 90% of my week. But also have used as a daily and weekend driver. Has never let me down starts each time and the A/C works as the sassy it came off the assembly line. Thank you.

my Ranger

My ranger is just a couple of months short of 16 years and it still runs like a top. Every year it performs a good as the first year, so for me it was money well spent. Well taken care of and the truck should last another 10 years at least.

Very dependable.

Has been an excellent vehicle for me. Easy to enter and handle. Have used it to haul all kinds of stuff. Added a cover to the back a few years ago and have slept back there quite a few time...….with a matt and sleeping bag...…..

My 'o4 Ford Ranger

I like Fords. they are tough, no-nonsense transportation. A small truck makes it easy to take care of household chores, such as hauling recyclables, lawn and garden trimmings, and the occasional batch of materials for projects. My 'o4 ranger is a little fancier than I wanted -- it has a lot of power stuff on it. My recent repair involved a fuel sensor. If your dash light keeps showing that your gas cap is off, even though you've put it on firmly and even replaced the cap, get it checked out. It might be the fuel sensor going bad. I like the adjustable steering wheel. the jump seats are only good for hauling small people or kids -- but they are there. I do like the extend cab because it allows hauling groceries or other purchases inside the cab without crowding the driver and one passenger. I've discovered I don't like cruise control, and I find the anti-lock brakes to be a little funky.

I love my Ford Ranger

My stripped down four cylinder Ford Ranger (2004) has 130,000 miles and the only repair has been a windshield wiper motor replacement. The front disc brake pads didn't need replacement until 125,000 miles. I still have the original battery. I have never had to jump it. I can't believe Ford stopped making my truck. I will probably continue driving it for twenty more years. It is very reliable. I drive it carefully, take care of it. There is a need for affordable small trucks. Ford continues making this truck for the rest of the world. Doesn't make sense they removed it from the U.S. market.
