Hey Gang,
I'm new to this forum but have had a 2004 Ranger XLT FX4 for a couple of years. It only had approximately 75000 miles on it when I purchased it. There have been some issues as it was used in WV on icy salted roads before coming down here to SC, but nothing that can't be resolved with a little time and elbow grease.
I use it to tow my C-Dory 16 cruiser to the lake, scoot around town to Lowes or the hardware store.
Be safe,
Spuncopper
