Rangers are underrated.

Yes they are. I had a 95 Ranger with the 4 cylinder engine and standard transmission. Loved that truck for the great gas mileage it got, but since I was doing some home remodeling work, it had its drawbacks with the short, narrow bed.

Carrying sheet goods was a PITA with having to put about three 2 x 4's from the top of the tailgate to the front wall of the bed since they didn't fit between the wheel wells.

I lost that truck to Katrina's floodwaters and replaced it with a full size Silverado.

Now that I'm fully retired, I miss the Ranger's gas mileage even more. This Silverado gets high teens in the city and low 20's on the hwy.
