FX4 Level II??

Hello all!!! Long time since I've been on here!

I've run across a 2005 Ranger FX4 Level II (beautiful blue color) with 126k miles on it. It seems to be well cared for with normal wear and tear associated with an 8 year old vehicle.

The question I have is that this truck is a little special from what I remember when I looked at them back when they were new. Not Raptor special... but definitely different. Are they worth slight price increase they demand over a regular 4x4 in the used car market?

they are kinda worth it, is it an auto or a manual? they have a locking rear diff, not sure what else they had, I've always wanted a twin stick LVL II

 

It should have a 4.0 SOHC engine (in my opinion REALLY good), towing package, black vinyl floor, 4:10 rear with limited slip and some other things I can't think of right now lol

Do you have any pics of it to post?

 

It's an automatic.

I don't have pictures as of this moment since when I looked at it, I immediately discounted it due to not having child seat anchors... Or so I thought. A little research when I got home proved me wrong and now I'm REALLY wanting it. The dealership wants $8990 for it and I figure I can get them to come off another ~$800-1000 when "dead presidents" are involved. I hope so anyway.

 

My dream truck!!!!!!!

 

I bet you can knock them down 1,000.00. Dealers always mark up their prices. I hope you get it!!

 

Me too.... But there's always other fish in the sea.

 

like this??

 

Exactly like that but with the stock Alcoa wheels and Michelin LTX tires.

 

I took them Alcoa wheels off didn't like them but I still have them!

 

I LOVE them. I tend to go more for the understated subtle looks though.

 

well get out there and get that truck!!

 

Don't boss me!! Lol. Just kidding.

I will be making another trip to the dealership on Monday.

 

Ok... so I went to the dealer and sadly, the Ranger is not possible for me.

I checked and could not locate a child seat anchor anywhere... nor the room to fit one aside from the front seat. That's not acceptable for me as I have to be able to carry my wife and daughter simultaneously.

I wish this would have worked out.

If someone can post pics of their child seats in the Ranger NOT in the front, please do so and I will definitely begin negotiations with that truck. I wanted it badly.

 

Not gonna happen man. You'll need a bigger truck if that's the plan man.

 

Sport Trac most likely on my horizon.

 

Sad to say but for the safety of your family, it isn't a very suitable truck for you. I am a certified child safety seat inspector for the NHTSA and I don't recommend it unless you had absolutely no choice. Hopefully the sport trac will do better for you guys

 

now wait a minute jim, I thought you was a certified moosknucke inspector with mooseRus

 

Lol!!!!!
