1999 3.0 xlt 5 speed with about 150,000 on the clock. Picked it up for 3,500 from a dealer. Had brand new tires/brakes and a good amount of engine work done.

I'm happy.

3.0 5 speed stick. I drive LA freeways like the 405, 605 etc everyday. To be honest after driving a car with a heavy ass clutch the ranger is no problem. Even in stop and go traffic.

I'd hold out for a manual, especially in the 3.0's. It feels a lot more responsive than the auto.

But also if you want 4x4 consider the 4.0

I like the amber corners.. they divide up the front well. But that's just me. Coming from the vw/bmw scene where everyone had clear lenses might of burnt me out.

I like the front of the 99/00 rangers! Though I am biased :p. Id stick with them or do a conversion. Aftermarket lights generally end up looking tacky.

Hang in there dude. Was in the same boat a few months back. Was able to find a 99 3.0 supercab 4 door with a manual tranny for about 3500. Had about 150k on the clock though.

Not denying the use of 4x4, but to say that 2wd rangers are useless is a bit much. Considering ive never had issues with traction on gravel, ice or snow. You must not have "awesome" driving skillz...
