Re: Automatic vs Manual Transmission

I had an auto in my Ranger, I hated the transmission, loved the truck, found a 5 speed manual F150 and I love the transmission, the truck is a bit big though.

Re: Would you buy it?!

Yes, towing capacity of a F150 while getting 7.6L/km (31mpg) with a six speed manual? Hell yes I would want that, and I don't care what it looks like. Personally, I think the new rangers are pretty...

Re: MT Reports Ford Ranger Owners Are Going Elsewhere

As a former ranger owner, who went over to the F150, I would say that ford is a bunch of morons if they think that ranger owners would all want the F150. This thing is huge, coming in at close to 21'...

Re: Newbie to Ford Ranger... Please help.

You can safley tow any ranger flat provided it has a neutral disconnect installed.

My ranger weighed in at 3,700 with full fuel and ready to roll.

Re: Stock radio.

The stock radio's dont have a sub output, I believe you would need to get an aftermarket one with a sub output for it to sound decent.

Re: Full Size Mod

Yeah, they all seem to rust there. Dont think theres really much you can do about it though.

Yep, cap and bed mat come with it. I'm not a huge fan of the colour but it would grow on me I think.
