Why do some many people on Veeky Forums like the ranger?
I will confidently say its one of the worse trucks ever built. Anemic engines, poor build quality, shit comfort. The RC has about the same room as miata. Everything thing about it is shitty. There are no redeeming qualities. Anything you can put in the back in bed of ranger you can easily fit in a station wagon or van. I don't see anyway you can defend this truck. I rather drive almost any other car post 1990, besides the S10, which is also shit.
Jacob Rodriguez
damn son where did the bad ranger touch you
Nolan Cruz
Agreed. In my area they are super overpriced too. It's a meme truck for sure. Toyota and Mazda (pre 93) did it better.
Caleb Morales
Enjoy your shitvic OP
Tyler Perry
It's good on gas, has a little bed for little stuff, and can get you to point a to point b... I dont see what there is to hate?
Ryan Allen
They're popular because they're cheap and disposable. It's supposed to be a beater truck for light construction work and nothing more
Andrew Perry
I had a ranger, I don't see why everyone acts like they are amazing, bad fuel economy, unreliable, im from canada and they rot out really bad,
it was a good looking truck but that was about it
i was sstill sad when i rolled it but i have a sunfire now which i like 100 times better
Jackson Phillips
A vehicle is a vehicle... if you're not a picky needy bitch you can find the good in all automobiles
Nathan Russell
You buy a Ranger when you don't want to pay the Toyota tax.

>anemic engines true, but they last forever >poor build quality who cares? it's a work truck, not a luxury car. >uncomfortable not really. pretty comfy >anything you can put in the bed of the ranger could fit in a van or wagon 12ft lumber? no. mulch? no. large awkwardly shaped items? no.
even captcha is on my side.
Ryder Gutierrez
Lol, the only truck of the time with more power than a ranger with the 4.0 is the s10 with the 4.3 that cost way more. Calling it anemic is kind of stupid, considering at the time Toyota's were still using a 4 banger...
Ryder Cook
Dirt cheap, will survive on nothing but gas and oil. The core supports commonly rust out, but they'll keep going for 250k+ no problem
Tyler Harris
Except that the Toyotas had an optional 3.4 V6
Zachary Baker
Ford always made great trucks. I'm sorry you're retarded.
Isaac Edwards
Because they were damned near invincible? I've seen Rangers that were considered "totaled" by accident reports that were still driveable.
They were't very comfy yes, but no truck from the 90's really was. Even "luxury" trucks weren't. They were easy to buy, fix, and maintain because everything was simplified.
There's a reason Ford is bringing them back.
Evan Hughes
Oh yes, the 3.4 that was infamous for it's constant head gasket failures, so much so that a truck with a 3.0 or 3.4 is worth. less than a 4 cylinder model. 3v-ze is called the "3.slow" where I'm from.
Evan Ortiz
3.4 didnt have HG issues Just the 3.0 which is easily fixed
Ryan Hall
Shit daily drivers Great work trucks that'll last forever
If you want a mid-sized pickup as a daily driver, newer Tacomas, Canyons, and Colorados are significantly better. If you want max comfy, Ford F-150 higher trims are some of the most comfortable vehicles to ride in daily.
Connor Reyes
I'm talking about the 5vz, the 3.4, not the 3.0

My cousin is 6'8" and has no problem fitting in even the tiny 80s regular cab rangers. Btw truck seats are meant to ride in a sitting position, not leaning, nigger.
Noah Evans
I've been trying to tell Veeky Forums this for years They are complete shit. Ford is garbage. baby trucks are all pretty bad desu, aside from the taco.
Samuel Anderson
I'm 6'3" and I find them pretty comfy, even the regular cabs. Never had an issue with build quality, nothing rattles or squeaks in the interior and the mechanicals of the truck are solid.
Lucas Ortiz
My dad has a 3.0 ranger and I think it gets about 11mpg city driving, while making about 110hp at the wheels. Terrible daily driver, but works well for hauling stuff around.
Chase White
you guys are no different then miatafags
The extended cabs are ok, but the RCs are shit for leg room.
plus if you have a passenger you have don't have place for any small luggage that you wouldn't want to put in the bed
Easton Roberts
Underrated
Landon Butler
Luggage is an issue but I seriously have no leg issues, and I'm disproportionately long legged. My seat is all the way back, but it works.
Ryan Russell
I would only get a 4x4 ranger manual to swap the engine for a 302 out of an expolar and turn it into a good truck with power.
James Wilson
>putting a 302 into a ranger Enjoy literally never not spinning the rear wheels
Elijah Hughes
>There are no redeeming qualities.
they're cheap used and reasonably reliable
if you need a beater to haul shit around in, what more could you want?
Sebastian Perez
>optional 3.4 V6
And the option 4.0 in the ranger is stronger, your point?
Jaxson Kelly
S10s are better, most jap stuff is better. Most of the people recommending it haven't driven enough to compare, but bear in mind this board is sponsored by Ford™ and that might explain things.
Jayden Wood
>while making about 110hp at the wheels
Yeah no, my 2001 ranger with a 3.0 doesnt loose 40 HP between the engine and wheels...
its probably more like 120-125 at the wheels.
Adam Allen
Rangers are exponentially better than tacomas or frontiers, the s10 is better though.
But yeah tacomas are actually the worst "truck" I've ever seen. The only people who want them are oblivious homeowners who want to spend $11I on an 04 4 cylinder 4 ft bed pickup and justify their purchase by using it to go to the recycling center.
