1987 ranger 4x4

it is a STX what does that mean

and what are the 3.2 litre engines like in these trucks for off roading (nothing extreme just general wheeling)

just wondering cause i am thinking of trading my 1987 Eddie Bauer Bronco II for this truck

the truck has 3 inch body lift(done in a shop) just didnt extend shifters 31 inch tires

my bronco is stock with 30's on it

STX is the sport truck. These little trucks are very capable for their size.
Changing to bigger size tires might require changing the diff. ratios to help keep the engine in its power band while off roading.
