Over the past 30 odd years, I have owned-in a row, 5 used Ford Rangers-- all std cab, 5 spd. 4 bangers- bought 'em used from a one owner, mostly had 125K miles, ran 'em for years driving to my work welding at powerplants and boiler shops in WMich. I also owned a Ford Bronco II- went 250K on it, had the FI V-6 and manual hubs- it's still up at our deer hunting property near Mio-runnig like a Rolex- Not too impressed with the newer Bronco-but thanks to the goofy marketing structure of the used vehicle market afoot, I can get in cash money, more than I paid for the current 2009 Ranger in my driveway than I paid for it 5 years and 65K miles ago. I don't baby those Rangers, gas, oil changes, replacement tires, batteries- but they are a very low maintenance $ vehicle--and like redheads, there's just something about them that I like- Very Much!!
