    I have a 94 ranger with the 4 and I hate it. No power, no guts but the gas milage is good, only good thing about it.

    Well folks...just thought id add a bit of an update.

    I bought a ford ranger king cab 2X4 with a 3.0 in it. Its a bit gutless but over all its perfect. Great on fuel. Can haul my trike around and best of all its a 99. I paid $3200 for it. A few surface rust spots but other then that its great. It also came with 3 sets of tires. 2 all seasons and an aggressive winter set. I couldnt find anything chev in my price range. ive always been a chev guy but i thought id give ford a shot. Im ordering a k&n intake and looking for an exhaust system. Does anyone have a performance exhaust on there truck?

    WHY? no matter what it will still be a turd and you will have wasted all that $$$ on nothing. I also have a 3.0 96 ranger and can tell you that it is a great low budget truck. However without a V8 swap you are wasting $$$ on performance mods.

    I'm a Jeep and International Harvester guy first, but a Ford-over-GM guy after that .I like the 4.0 V-6(fuel mileage not so great though), but can personally vouch for the 3.0's durabitlity.

    I sold a Ford vehicle with a 3.0 in it a year and a half ago with 230,000+ miles on it(original build), and it's still going today....every day. The only issue I had with it was replacing the timing belt at about 205,000 miles.

    I know of one still going with over 300,000 on it......to me that's a pretty good endorsement.
