2005 Ranger FX4 Level II - Questions About Mileage, How Much is Too Much?
I have been searching for the perfect Level II for a while now. I have come across one that I love everything about. However, the mileage seems high to me. It has 89,000 miles. To those of you that have this many miles on your 04+ 4.0 SOHC / SJB trucks, have you had any problems to note? What should I look for? I know the normal things to look for: check the passenger side floor board for wetness, check the front diff for a pinion seal leak. Anything else?

When I bought my 05 Level II it had about 95,000 miles on it. Its now up to 111,000 and the only problems I have had are the slave cylinder, which is fairly common, and a cracked valve spring at 100,000 miles which was most likely just a fluke. Probably a flawed spring from the factory that finally gave out on fatigue.

I wish I could afford to drive my truck that hard haha. Nah I just used the truck as a DD and it was all stock at the time. I was driving in the correct gear and everything, then BAM, no more compression in cylinder 5.

youll say that when you slave cylinder goes out and you pull the tranny to replace a stupid part that should be on the outside, the 5r55e owns the mazda 5 speed in everyway. never had one problem wheeling at all and autos do not disconnect power from the drivetrain which can come in handy. that truck looks pretty clean. just make them a offer.

after owning my 02 for almost 6 years and this truck for about 4 months now, I have not looked back.

Anyway, that price is outrageous. I got mine for 11,500 with 62,000 on it.....but My family has also worked and been a part of Ford for a long time so I did get a deal. But thats still way to high

I have had both auto and manual. I had a manual 2005 XLT 4x4 super cab and an automatic 2005 FX4 off road. To be honest, I loved the automatic. For the type of driving I do, the auto is definitely easier. I will not be doing much off roading at all, unless we get some snow; and snow in NC is rare.

That is a great looking truck! I agree that price is way high though, whats the KBB on it?
