I have a 1998 Ranger with a 4 banger and a man. trans. 90,000 miles. I have towed a 14' boat all over the state of Ohio with that baby. I bought a new boat and the ranger cant handle it...Well never even tried.
After doing some home work and talking to lots of Ford guys, found that the straight 6 in the F150 is one of the best motors Ford ever made.
Took a while but found a good Pick up new boat in a week, so I get to test both boat and truck out!
