That looks like a pretty cool Ranger there. I have owned two Rangers in the past. First was a 1998 Red 4X4 X-Cab 4.0L. I bought it in when stationed in Everett, WA. At the time, I had a 1996 Nissan pick-up and got stuck in my apartment complex when it snowed, so I got the 4X4. I'm not an off-road enthusiast, so when I got stationed in Pascagoula, MS. I traded the 98 for a 2000 Ranger Std Cab 4X2 4.0L. I was enjoying that truck, but it developed a cold engine knock and then started making noises at all times. Some refer to it as "marbleing" or the sound of marbles rattling in a can. Took it to a dealer and of course they couldn't hear anything. Many Rangers with the 4.0L OHV report having this condition and say it doesn't affect performance, but it really bothered me. So, I traded the 2000 Ranger in on the 2002 GMC and I am much much happier now. I now have classic V-8 power and a quiet engine and get only about 1 mpg less than I did with the V-6. I had thought about the F-150 but they have a problem with the doors cracking where the window frame meets the door. I have actually seen a couple of these. And, I found in side by side comparisons the GM trucks come out on top.

So, get off the fence Paco and go with GM trucks all the way. Put a nice SSR or something on there.

P.S. ford updated the 4.0. it now has 207hp

Yea, I know Paco. They went from the 4.0L OHV to a 4.0L SOHC. People still complain about engine noise. And besides, for only a couple grand more you can get a whole world of difference better truck.

I'm not knocking the Ranger, I loved the ones I had, except for the engines "problems". It's just that I have a much better truck now. The only thing I miss about the Ranger is the coin and cup holders were handier than in the GMC. I had a center console in the Ranger and now the split seat in the GMC. If I had a center console in the GMC, I might not even miss that.

I was a member of all the Ranger forums/boards and now I've looked at all the GM boards. It just seems that overall, there are alot more problems with trucks on those other boards.

Atleast you're an All-American fan
