stumbled across this today, a very clean, low milage 2005 2wd ranger. they want nearly 9K for it, but its like new, and with under 18K miles, i guess you could say it is. think i'll drive it tommorow, never drove a duratech 4 cyl, i suppose my 94 would get laughed at as a trade. lol. its a shortbed reg cab, dont know the gear ratio but from what i could tell by research its anywhere from a 3.55/3.73/4.10
from the dealer picture i can tell theyve had it awhile, theres been snow here for a few weeks and theres no snow in the pictures. the only other ranger they have right now is more of what id like but not as good of shape.
heres a link to the dealer page:

I think it's a super nice truck. It has low miles, it could last 200,000 more miles, easily. That being said, it's 13 years old. I think that alone is worth another $1000 off the price. 🤣 Make sure everything works perfectly. Drive a hard bargain... maybe offer $7k to hit 'em where it hurts... Then work up from there. Good luck!
