I'm not real keen on a V6 engine. I'm more concerned about towing capacity than I am MPG.

My Ranger hasn't been that spectacular as far as mechanical durability (two transmissions, parts falling off the the A/C compressor, both front hubs replaced, something up there keeps clunking and cupping the tires (local Ford dealer says the front end is perfect and has blamed every tire manufacturer I have used).

It goes into the dealer for major service every 30,000 miles. The truck has not been neglected. I'm a maintenance freak.

Sport track I understand is built on the Ranger frame. I'm over the Ranger.

Thanks for the tip on the Frontier. I'll look into that - especially if it has the towing capacity you describe.

Edit: Unfortunately, the Frontier only sports a 4.0L V6. That's what my Ranger has.
