How rare?
 
:DI'm looking for a 98-2000 ford ranger 4door, 2wd, 5 speed. How rare are these? Im guessing most came with the v-6 combo's. Thanks for the help.

Depends on what you mean by 4 door. Do you mean an extended cab with the 4 door option, or do you mean a crew cab Ranger with a center pillar in the middle?

Any 2.5L is gonna be 2wd. Ford didn't make a 4wd 4 cyl in those years. My buddy had a 2000 2wd, 2.5L, Extended Cab, manual. It also had power doors and cruise.

Yeah, I cant seem to find any extended cab with the 4 door option and have the 2.5 along w/5speed and keep the 2wd. There are plenty of standard extended cab models and they always have the v-6 options instead w/4x4. Not looking for the one with the pillar in the middle. My 97 Ranger with single cab 2wd,5 speed, 2.3 has almost 200,000 miles and runs like a champ. Just looking rough now. It seems to be a magnet for other cars to hit. I would like a little extra room, but as a former mechanic I hate the problem plagued 3.0 and 4.0 engines. I love the 2.3 and 2.5 bulletproof 4 bangers.

Okay, you're lookin at an XL then. However, as you've noticed, finding an XL Supercab with 4 doors is pretty hard. I'm not even sure that was an allowable option from factory.

Good luck on your search. Most of the ones I run in to are automatics and have the 3.0 in them. My buddy has a 98 5 speed 4x4 4.0 in his.

Ok, On www.kbb.com they seem to list this option as well as a picture. I looked up 98 ford ranger extended cab 4 door option and then they also had the 2.5 engine w/5 speed as an option.

good luck, its a very unique truck kind of like mine, I wanted it Sport 2wd, Manual with AC Sport Bucket Seats, Power Group and Cruise. There is only one in all Canada and it will be mine in a few short days. There must be a few out there the way you are looking for, the question is if the owners are selling them.

On kbb.com it seems to only be an option for the 1998 model year.Heres a pic of it from there websitehttp://file.kelleybluebookimages.com...ftrge4d982.jpg

Grrrr. Why do I always like the shit that is hard to find, lol.:D

----------

Would Ford or someone have a website that said how many of these they produced with this option I am looking for? Thanks for all the help so far everyone!

Not if I get to it first! HAHA:D

I don't think they keep tabs on sales numbers for every option.

You're more than likely gonna have to sacrifice the 4 door option. I've seen plenty of 4 banger Supercabs, but none of them have had 4 doors.

If it was an option then there has to be one out for sale somewhere. I hope...Thanks for all the info everyone:D

Re: How rare?
 
why would anyone be dumb enough to purposely order a 2WD truck when they live in canada or anywhere it snows?

Re: How rare?
 
I have driven fwd's that are worse. 2wd is fun in the snow!
