new to rangers, new to trucks, what should I know?
Hello all, as you can see by the thread title, I am rather new to ford rangers and trucks. My first and only car for the last 7 years has been a Dodge Neon and I'm ready for something more manly now.
I drove a nice Ford Ranger for work all last summer and fell in love with them. My concern is, is there anything in particular I should look for or be aware of when looking at used rangers? I've done all the maintenance on my neon, tore the engine up and all, but do not know much about trucks. Any year or type of rangers I should stay away from?
I've seen the sticky thread about the beginners guide, but I am hoping I could get some suggestions on to what I should look for when searching for rangers.
Thank you!!

I'm only 23 and don't need all that much power or size, looking for something more low key.
I do prefer the 4x4 drive train option, did ford make them in 4 cylinders and auto trans?
Haven't decided yet if I want to a buy a cheaper one with 70k miles on it or fork over a bit more money and get a newerish one...

i have a 99 3.0L 4x4 ranger is Ex cab and stepside got it for a very decent price has 180k atm no problems other then a leaf spring which im fixing now. gas wise i think its a little better then the 4.0L but power wise get the 4.0 if possible still i might be getting better gas now because i added a 22inch cherry bomb muffler.
