Looking at buying a 1 owner 06 Ranger 4.0 at 4x4 with 170k on her. Truck looks clean but scared of the miles. Can i get some thoughts .

Thanks Mike

Dang thats alot of miles for an 06. I just bought a 2000 and it had 156k on it. I found out last week that it had a blown head gasket so im getting a new motor put in it now, cause i would be putting double the money into it if i got the bad head rebuilt and then the other one went bad. But if it looks like its really been taken care of its up to you man. Id be a little weary of that many miles but its your decision.

My 05 had about 150,000 on it when I bought it. But it was taken care of VERY well. So check it out and be CONFIDENT with your purchase.

If the prices is right and there is a small powertrain warranty in the deal, why not try it out

Make sure you dont pay alot, go over it with a mechanic and see of they have maintenance records on the truck

I believe i can get it for around $6000. Miles are all freeway. I am guessing it has no warranty nor any service records

What options does it have, I know here in Ottawa you can get quite a few 2007-2008 Sport with less then 60K Kms for $8-9,000

IMO the price isn't too bad, see if he can include like a 6 month warranty. If he is really confident in his product then it shouldn't be problem to include it in there. If he acts weird about it then I would walk away and wait for another one. $0.02

Thanks for the thoughts.. Truck is about 3 hrs from me so still on the fence with the miles. Is there any area that i have to pay close attention to when looking it over??

Ask some questions about it, if they seller avoids questions then I'd walk away. It never hurts to go check it out, if that's an option. Best of luck.

I would keep on eye out on the 4x4 system, the shift on the fly system is a great weakness for rangers and its very common for the system including the electirc knob inside to make your 4x4 system beserk. If its a 3L, some of them have been know to have blown headgaskets but some 3L are quite reliable some people say.

It is a 4.0
