hey guys!

hey I'm new here and i don't have a ford (yet) (my dad has a 08 f-150 and i love driving it ), i used to have a 93 XJ cherokee lifted 4" and I'm looking to get a ford ranger. i found this site hoping i can get some help with trying to find out the good and bad about rangers. i heard that the 4.0 is only really reliable in 2003+ rangers but i was wondering if anyone had any problems with any 2nd gen models. If its any help I'm looking to use it for some off roading so i will eventually lift it but mainly going to be used to go onto the beach to fish, haul my hunting equipment and deer, and obviously get me to school/work and home. any information would help thanks.

Hi Anthony, welcome to FTE!

We have some great members down in the Ranger forum who can help you with your questions. I see you have found the Ranger forum.

Take a minute and stop by the NY chapter FTE has for the locals. You will find the chapter here... New York Chapter - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Welcome aboard!!!!
I've owned 2
91, 565000 kms with a 4.0. Excellent power and mileage. 5Sp went, 0 issues until then. Driven very hard!!!!!!!!

08, 80000kms and traded it off for my eX. Same mileage as eX. 13.5 Average. Would never buy a second Gen 4.0. Very disapointed.

So you wouldn't buy a 2nd gen 4.0 you'd get a 3.0?
