sell ranger or keep??
i bought a new 2007 fx4 off road back in 2007. special ordered it. loaded. now it only has 5200 miles new. as you can see i dont drive it much. its not the gas prices but it just sits in my driveway. i do drive it once a week to keep things going. i love my ranger but its not a daily driver. i have a mazda b2200 that i use most for daily driver. 4 banger 5 speed with A\C. beater. runs pretty good. i was thinking of selling the ranger and ordering a 2008 xl 2.3 manual ranger single cab. i like these little 4 cyclinders trucks. better gas mileage for sure. not that my off road is that bad. 17 city. 19 to 20 highway. would i take a hit selling my ranger or should i just keep it? mazda has 122,000 miles and its pretty much a beater for now. not sure what to do at this point. i have too many vehicles and need to down size. my work truck is a chevy astro cargo van. dont ask what that junk gets for mileage!!.

Normaly I would say keep the 4x4 as I love off roading and having the capabilites of a 4x4. However, with gas prices the way they are with no end in site, I would say you must think of the future. A 4 cylinder 5-speed ranger will be most practicle in these unceratin times. If ford was smart, they would bring back the 4 cylinder ranger 4x4. I guess they are in 2012 so I hear. The current gas situation will change this country forever, so might as well get use to the changes.

Where you at? I'll buy the thing....Rangers are bringing a premium around here right now. All of us F150 owners are looking to downsize.
