Hi, First post here. I'm looking for a small/medium truck to light hauling, mostly yardwork which means bags of soil, rocks, 2 x 4, etc. I had a 2000 S-10 4 cylinder, 2WD, manual trans, slow as molasses, sold it at 130K miles, ran like a champ. For whatever reason, I don't see that many S-10s on the road, at least not in my area (Central CA), but I do see lots of Rangers. I am still checking out the S-10s, but I do prefer the appearance of the Ranger more. I don't really need 4 x 4, but it's nice to have. Don't need a lot of power, so the 4 cylinder should suffice, but again, if it's not too much I'll get the V6. What's the difference in MPG between the 2? My budget is $6000, what can I expect to be able to buy in this range? Nice 3rd gen Ranger? What's the longest bed that I can get with a Ranger, also anything to watch out for? I know this is a lot questions but I guess I gotta start some where. Thanks,

just bought one Hi all. I'm new to ford ranger trucks. I just got a 02 ranger fx off road. So far so good. Here's the thing I have hard start problems when hot. Engine starts ok when cold. I'm thinking fuel pressure bleed down thru check valve_if it has one-or leaky injectors. EGR valve? Is there a tap on the fuel rail to check fuel pressure? I fix BMW for a living so I'm kinda out of my element here. Any thoughts on the subject ?
for six grand it can get u a base model used ranger.... if you dont really need 4x4 dont get it... it will ruin your fuel economy... as far as the motor goes for six grand u will get a four cylinder with a manual transmission... they are great trucks tho... never have had a problem with mine
