Foxie,
For me, I know what it is about Rangers, I can get into them. I switched from F-series when I couldn't raise my right leg high enough to climb in. I'm driving my second Ranger now, looking for the third. I have to get another one when I have to buy more oil than gas. I wouldn't mind if they used it, they waste it by running onto the ground past the main bearings. None of the other problems bother me, except I would like an extended cab, so I could carry a small tool box and floor jack. The 95 I have now doesn't have the room behind the seat that the first one had. You mentioned a 5 speed transmission above, I much prefer the 4 speed with overdrive, the 5 speeds are coupled so close together I can't tell which gear I'm in. As for changing to an automatic transmission, I may have to, but With the 4 speed I can start it with no battery by rolling it down a very small incline, where I would be dead in the water with an automatic. New Rangers are as high as a F100, so I need an old one. Sorry about the rambling, it was just on my mind.
Mike
