Re: Ford Ranger Practicalities As A Builder
Honestly, if I were you I'd get a bigger truck. If you get a ranger with a short bed, or even a long bed, you're constantly going to be having issues fitting things in there. Don't get me wrong, you can fit a lot in there if you're good at tetris, but it's a pain in the rear and wet weather puts a damper on things.
A solid 8ft bed with an extended height camper top would be the way to go, that way you can keep your stuff dry and put more then a few sheets in the bed. Also, I'm not sure what engines are more common around the UK, but i'm only getting 18-20 mpgs with the 4.0 liter engine. In other words, the mileage isn't that great, the bed space is rotten, and the cab is cramped for a 6 ft tall guy. Good for small projects but that's bout it.
