Explain why ford rangers ARENT the best vehicle

If you didnt get a completly shit one youre alright.

Even the 4.0 versions are turds. They really needed a veeate.

Otherwise I don't have a problem with them and greatly prefer them to how retardedly fuckhueg the effwunfiddy has gotten.

...

They ALL rust.

Name one car that doesn't rust.

>If you didnt get a completly shit one youre alright.
They're all completely shit

>If you didnt get a one youre alright.
oh wait, I see

Delorean
Now fuck off.
Ford a shit

That's just the body. The frame is still regular steel just like any other car.

user, Delorean frames still rust, just the bodies are okay.
You could've named any aluminum or composite car.

>no v8 option ever
>first ranger was an f100 trim so doesn't count
Don't get me wrong I own one myself

>people who daily a ranger

welcome to hell

the vulcans

...

>Vulcan

I3 in disguise

whats the matter with driving a ranger daily?

daily-ed one before they're great haul trucks don't get me wrong but the suspension just rots away i've replaced the struts, tie rods, shocks, differntial plate, and a control arm in my 3 years of ownership and the vulcan just struggles to make power

>not getting soch 4.0 master race

>this faggot again
Your mazda is a no name POS.

>ball joints
>rust meme
Nah

unfortunately: this ^^

If you get the 3.0, you get the gas mileage of the 4.0 with the power of the 2.3 so you end up hating the Ranger. The only way to love one is if you buy a 2.3 I4 that's e z to turbo and don't expect much power / only need the bed.
Or you get the compact 4.0 V6 OHV or post-2008 SOHC.

What if I live in California?

shut up, tacofag

>ranger
>struts
You don't own a ranger, do you?
Enjoy your rust free ball joint failure

pre-98

My first car was a ranger. It was shit but it was my shit. Good thing I didn't have to go anywhere far at the time because that car was not built for highway speeds. Something was wrong with the hose that connects from the gas cap to the tank so I'd spend a long ass filling up

i miss my '90 ranger

I have that on my 2010 Ranger too.
CLANK* CLANK* CLANK*. It's much worse in the winter but it has like a metaphorical g-spot when you insert the hose. You kinda have to push down and pull the handle slightly up in order to make it register.

buy another one for like $2000 and beat it to death offroading with chains running 9psi

>Something was wrong with the hose that connects from the gas cap to the tank
Holy fuck mine does that too, granted my jeep before it did the same thing too.

Shackle looks intact, (they always rust out) frame rails look fine/no holes. I don't know what point you're trying to make with that pic but there's nothing there that looks Taco levels of horrifying.

I guess if you REALLY wanted to fix the rust you could. Remove cab, remove bed, inspect rusty frame, if no holes in metal then sand it, prime it, paint it with black bed liner, put cab back on, put bed back on, and done. Lengthy but worth it if you REALLY love Rangers.

The missing (presumably rusted) pieces needed to repair that are $35 from RockAuto.

Yeah it's those old anti-siphoning devices that really fuck you up. Like I said, most vehicles have a G-Spot where you learn how to fill it up.

Weird

What's this stuff? My '94 doesn't have anything like that.

Lol wut?
Why you so ass blasted?

The circle to the right is the spare tire hoist I think, not sure what the other thing is.

My bad. That's a 4runner, not a Tacoma.

You post the same three images every single time.

They dont stop being applicable.
Im not going to have 100s of photos dedicated to shit posting.
It only takes 3 or so to upset all the ford fags.

My point was proven.
Thank you and goodnight

Thanks. No cable/winch on mine, just a bar that swings down from below.

Ford always wins in the end, your truck got kicked out of the US because the ranger was that much better.

2.3 Duratec is a little screamer. AR103 plugs are your friend.

My truck? I dont have a truck.
But ill assume you mean the bravo?
Ford paid mazda to stop selling them in the US because they didnt want competition.
The bravo is an amazing truck. Excellent reliability and sold all over the world.
Dunno what youre so mad about.

>cucked by Ford
Will Mazda ever recover?

Stay ass blasted.

>If you get the 3.0, you get the gas mileage of the 4.0 with the power of the 2.3 so you end up hating the Ranger.

Stay in your cuckmobile that couldn't compete

Lol
I dont have time to argue. I have to go to sleep.
Just look up fords history
Look up how many vehicles are based on mazda chassis and use mazda engines (to this very day)
Ford would be nothing without mazda.
They would only make trucks and mustangs.
Also read about how when ford used mazda engines, they used their own (cheap) electronics and other random parts that caused them to be less reliable than their mazda counterparts.

Ford is a sad sack of failure. Only idiots who dont do the research think ford is good.

>trusting ratings of disgruntled customers
Literally every automaker has shit ratings on consumer reports
>Ford would be nothing without mazda
Mazda is already nothing so I don't see what you're getting at

Midsize sedans get like 20mpg city all day with 250-300hp v6, even 20 year old ones

So do AWD Turbo 4's :)

Because weak axles, cost more than a more capable half-ton.

The 8.8 is a half ton axle senpai

I think the 4cyl/3.0 got 7.5" and the 4.0 got 8.8"

Only the 4 cylinder engines are mazda designs, and ford no longer uses any mazda platforms.

The V6 Duratec and Ecoboost engines are the Mazda MZI V6.

You've got it the other way around. The Mazda MZI is a Ford Cyclone v6

>GM fangirl backs away and pretends this thread never happened
pathetic

>VAG
No.

Room. My big ass is 280 pounds. Totalled a few. Had some 4x4. Good trux

Was riding in my buddies ranger, had about 76K miles on it and the timing belt just disintegrated.
Rattled the driveline to pieces.

He went out and got a Tacoma, and that now has 214K on it.

Eat shit ford.

>timing belt just disintegrated.
>Rattled the driveline to pieces.
>things that didn't happen

>Mazda is already nothing so I don't see what you're getting at
Ford shills are so fucking sad lmao.

Kill yourself you retarded piece of shit.

Meant valvetrain. Need more coffee.
Still, things are a piece of shit. They're made of paper Mache and dreams.

Saw one get rear ended by a 4Runner once. 4Runner had some scuffs, the rangers tail gate looked like a crater.

Negative

They arent even the best compact trucks

>posting the 4cyl mpg instead of the 6cyl mpg

You see how it gets 17mpg city?
Its because the 4cyl is so fucking weak, it strains to pull its own weight at stoplights. Fucking useless as an actual truck to pull or haul things.

We all know that you didnt post the 4.0 mpg because its within 1-2mpg of a full size truck. The full size truck which will outwork and be more capable in every single way.

The 4cyl is great if you want to get groceries though.

Dude, calm down, it's my truck. I don't have infinite vehicles to run this analysis on.

My commute to work is about 1.5 miles so it takes a hard hit on city mileage with frequent short trips. It's also done great hauling things. Used it to help people move furniture and other stuff. So it serves it purpose well.

I drove a 2.2l s10 and it was the same exact story.

The "furniture" and "hauling" capable of these trucks is akin to the sort of hauling you can do with a dodge caravan that has its back seats removed.

My buddy had a Ranger back in the day. Cute little car. Manual transmission and even the cab had decent space in the back considering what it was.

unfortunately, it's a thing of the past. just has no place in today's trucks

>driving 1.5 miles
fucking why

Its not a racecar

Because I don't have any control over where my job is located :(

A 2010 4cyl ranger has the same horsepower as an older v6 ranger, they're pretty powerful all things considered

But you do have control over your feet, haven't you?

Yeah and I value my life to not want to cross two dangerous highways on foot or bike and get pancaked

In the left circle looks like emissions garbage like the charcoal cannister.

Splash a best, Edge a shit.

4.0l OHV a best, SOHC a shit.

That is all.

Lol no

>be ford
>be 1997
>successfully create an all electric vehicle
>put it in the Ranger for some raisin
>still a few hundred of these on the road today

>people arguing about ford vs mazda trucks

The joke is that they're the exact same truck, right?

>look up fords history!!!
>s-s-starting in the mid 2000s. H-haha showed h-him
Only people who can't wrench buy a new car

It doesn't corner it can't offroad and it isn't powerful, luxurious, comfy or fast.
All it does is have a space in the back where people don't put anything.

Be ause their plastic intake manafold, and plastic thermostat housing shits itself after a hundred thousand miles, then the lower ball joints wear out and it starts to eat tires at 120000 and it sucks inside. It is literally a shit car with a shit interior that looks like it was melted together in a microwave, everything rattles. The door seals wear out and there is no way to adjust the doors to close tighter, so you have to listen to whistling and door rattles forever. The tires were too small stock, the suspension is too bard for the road and has no travel off road. This is probably the second worst car i have ever driven... A turd if ever there was one...

Huh?
Start in 1979 nigger.
Ford a a shit

Which Mazda platforms and engines did they use in 79

93 XL with Hose It Out interior here. And yeah, I miss that truck. Some fucker ran a red light and t-boned me.

Rangers really are God Tier, except, if you get a regular cab, they're small. Like, REAL small. If you're a big guy, though you'll learn to deal with it, you'll never truly find a comfortable seating position.

Speaking of seats, every Ranger that has a bench seat will develop an asshole. I don't know what it is, but the seat will fucking fail. And you don't even need to be a big guy. They all do it.

When my seat went to shit, I went to the junkyard and pulled the split bench with a center console from an XLT, plus while I was there, I grabbed the XLT door panels with the pockets, and the XLT shifter surround with the cup holders. Made for a hell of a lot more comfortable ride.

ITT: faggots that know nothing about Fords think that Rangers have always been compact trucks

Mazda and Ford went way, way back before mid-2000's. The first successful marriage was the Ford Courier/Mazda Sundowner in the 70's.

The Ford Probe was closely related to the MX6, the Mazda 323/Protege was closely related to the Ford Escort starting in 1991, and starting in 1992, the Mazda B series was a rebadged Ranger. And NO, the Ranger was not a Mazda, despite what RCR fucked up. The Mazda was a Ranger, through and through. Ford did use Mazda transmissions in a few Rangers, but that was the extent of Mazda's input.
