05 fx4 reliability?

Evening all...

My Bro-law is looking into getting an 05 Ranger fx4, and was curious about its reliability. Anyone have any probs with them? Anything we should look out for? Thanx in advance....

I have an '05 FX4 4.0L and have had zero issues with the truck. It's been one of the most reliable trucks I've owned; as was my last Ranger - a 2000 3.0L model.

Thr FX-4 is just the stantard off road package that they been building for years and even the FX-4 level II they've been building since 02. Should be no issue's there or with any other tanger package for that matter.
