2006; iIn hillbilly years that's practically new off the showroom floor.
Yeah buddy, it's as good as a brand new truck as far as I'm concerned!
Hell yeah brother.
As long as you don't live in the rust belt these trucks just don't age , half the time you need to look under them to know if it's a gen 2 or gen 3 you're looking at . I just picked up a 2003 2 wheel drive Ranger Edge , 4 liter engine auto trans and only 164,000 km or just over 100,000 miles . They don't make proper light weight small trucks any more , and these average out at about 3100 pounds . or about the same weight as a McLaren 720S , new Ranger's can't say that new Toyota's can't say that . And if you have the 4 liter engine , 220 HP in a 3100 pound truck is damn near sports car performance . People with the little 2.3 engine claim that under a 100 HP is good enough , i believe they are wrong . Long live the best small pickup ever made .
@@OlderthanIlookyoungerthanIfeel yep had a 03 Deep Wedgwood Blue (rare) 2wd 3.slow for ten yrs till some kid made a left turn in front of me last year...great truck...after lookin in the tri state (NY,NJ,CT) area for 2-1/2 months finally found an 06 4.0 4x4
4 door only 76k miles with every option available...exactly what I wanted. Lucked out almost none around anymore, & when they are, they sell quick.
My ideal pickup, practical but not too big.
Jonathan Caban love the look of rangers, I used to have one now I want to buy one again lol.
I owned a couple Explorer Sports, 2 door, one was a 96 5 spped, the last one a 98 w/ automatic. The automatic worked fine for 100,000 miles then started acting up, Trans shop said it needed new transmission of course. After I sold it I found all was wrong was a leaking valve body gasket. Sharp looking truck, and you are going to love the limited slip this winter.
"The previous owner uuhhh fell in a hole there" i laughed way to hard at that
Burn outs with a 4 cylinder, WoW ! I just got this truck with the 6 cylinder 4x4, i think it comes with 4.10 rear ? Mine had 75 thousand miles. Owned it 2 weeks. Runs great !
Well done vid. I had a screaming 1983 with the solid lifter'ed V6. Installed some 4wd camber adjusters (it was a 2wd) and some V rated 15" tires & wheels tires and I was raising heck on any highway in the hills. When I found a Porsche willing to keep up with me, we had lots of fun. What a sleeper it was. Thinking hard on a 2007 FX4 o/r level II. It has had a bunch of needed work. Don't know about the timing chains....yet. If & when I get another, it will be cool to do a vid of my own. Doubt it will be as good as this one!
I like the pre oiler link you saved me a lot of grief by posting the link. You should have an update video on your pre oil system. Can't wait to see it. God Bless
I just picked up an 07 with 210k on the clock original engine and trans. Runs really good just had some typical problems, Blower motor and resistor, and leaking thermo housing.
other than that it has been great
That's a nice truck, you make me miss mine. I had a 2010 Ranger Sport 4.0 4x4 5 speed manual, it was a fun truck but the rust was getting to it being from Canada so I got rid of it. Plus the 4x4 was acting up. Still I miss it, but I got a car now so the mpg increase is really nice lol
Awesome looking ranger. I have a 94 ranger. It’s a little beat up and it’s got over 200,000 miles on it but it still going strong.
Got a 94 myself 4 banger. People hate on it but it drives thru my big dirt construction jobs with ease lol
I have the exact same truck, just put in 265-70-r16 falcon wildpeaks on my stock rims. Did a 3” lift and put in some new pro comp extended shocks.
I've had a couple of Rangers and never had issues with the timing chain...let alone it ruining the engine!!!! They both had close to 200,000 miles.
George Sawtooth i have a 2010 ford ranger 4x4 with 397,xxx kilometres lmao
George Sawtooth stock trans and engine too. no troubles either
Those mirrors are stock and they came with the chrome appearance package and I really like them.
Love the chrome on black
Looks great bro
If I was gonna buy anything modern Ford cheap, this style Ranger would have to be it, they're amazing looking and easy to V8 swap
5.0 and go!
easy to v8 swap... pffft. if you dont mind loosing half the features of your truck or spend a million on parts to make it a perfect build. :) 4x4 v8 is a challenge believe me..
Love the truck bro....I have an 07 FX4 level II with the Torsen and it's been a great little rig.
Patriot Mahem I have a 07 fx4 level II and where do u suggest I get my leveling kit from
Good looking truck. I miss my Ranger.
This video makes me miss it lol! I just might buy it back down the road 😨
07 ford Ranger, i love it so much.
I have the sickest Cummins in the world that is rust free and immaculate. I live up north so I just bought this same exact truck as a winter ride let’s hope this ford doesn’t leave me stranded. I have had 2 rangers already and been disappointed but let’s see what happens.
That's an UltraGauge. I had one in my s10 for a few years and it does a pretty solid job of things. You can also use it for another trip meter, as a counter for miles since your last oil change, and other little things like that.
I lost mine to an issue with a dead battery, though. If you have to jump the truck for any reason, I'd recommend unplugging your scanner first to stay safe.
+ttsgeb Thanks for the tip, thank sounds like it's something good to know!
Just got a 05 xlt 4x4 4.0 with 248000 and it still runs great , needs some regular maintenance, your ranger looks awesome, love the rims and tires
How much did you pay
You can check the rear end by the axle code on the door, R8 rear is the Torsen with 31 spline axle, R7 is 28 no LSD
Nice little pickup, that will do well in the winter!
It sure will! Those tires are almost unstoppable
Hot damn! Nice ranger!
Sweet truck I love my ranger!
I have a 04 ranger extended cab 4x4 and i like it
Nice truck Bill, that's a keeper for sure. I didn't used to like autos, however I do now. Driven one or two back from auction for the car salesman (stopped doing that now) and it was nice not to keep having to use the clutch. Just an age thing lol. Ok they can be a bit thirsty, but remember we pay about £1.20 a litre for it now. That's about $1.60.
That isn't too bad Malc!
Nice trucks. I just bought another one just this the other day for parts
You have a beautiful truck there bro that's what I've been wanting to get myself a little Ranger would an Extended Cab Automatic I too have a Mustang it's a 98 GT coup automatic but I'm really not looking to get rid of my Mustang to get one I do want one really bad though but I just want to let you know you have a beautiful truck and I don't know what your Mustang look like but I'm sure you made a good trade with that being said brother you have a good day and best of luck to you in your build
That’s a nice truck man, Mine needs some rust work done but it’s still going strong
You've got a nice one too, thanks!
I have those same tires!! Badass!
Nice looking truck. I have Ko2's on my F250 and I have nothing but good to say about them and they last a long time too
1944johndeerel do they hum when you drive?
Brian Case not really. If you keep up on rotating them then they stay pretty quiet
The chromed mirrors are definitely aftermarket
You find out where that bully bar in the front came from? Also, that 2 tone paint is beautiful.
What size are the tires? Thanks!
What is the odb2 screen thingy?
I bought Kenda Klever tires from Walmart for 85$ each, 160$ for same thing at a tire shop. That was for 30x9.5 r15lt tires.
That's a sharp truck
That's a tough looking little thing. 👍 Ford must be a little bit
bullshit right about now. Everybody's buying these old Rangers and keeping them forever. I don't know how much you paid for that one, but here in Florida, dealers are asking up to $20,000 for a descent one with around 100,000 miles on them. I want to get one but my god......🙄
I only get 14.5 mpg mainly highway in my 02 4.0 4x4 auto. Wish I got closer to 17
Same here, fucking brutal in town.
Swap out your front axles and hubs with ones for a 98' - 00'. Buy some aftermarket hub locks and you'll gain about one mpg. Cost me about $500 - 600 to do this although I needed one hub and axle anyway so, really only $300 - 350.
I just bought a 2001 ranger stepside 4.0L automatic, 209,000 miles. You thing it is a good idea to go ahead and replaced water pump and timing chain? also the transmission dont't work, you think is i change all 6 solenoid it will start to go into gears?
Do you have a link to the mpg monitor?
does anyone know the main difference between a ford ranger sport and ford ranger?
I need to own this beast
really nice looking truck
Thanks Matthew, I appreciate it!
Hey I drive an older manual civic but also want a ranger but don't have room for both. Do you think I'll still have enough of a fun factor with say a 2008 manual ranger?
Truck is really nice!!
I appreciate that!
Does it still have the bucket seats I'm trying to figure out how to patten a bench seat in the back but if I can't it is what it is ill be driving lol
When the timing chain cassettes go it does not blow up the whole motor can be repaired. It can bend valves and do some damage but easily can be fixed.
When mine went my valves went through the pistons
I don't think that's a level 2. I can't see the front skid plate. Also it doesn't have the level II sticker on the door
the old ford ranger forum i was a member for years ive seen that truck on the forums before.
Yeah man it's a good forum, lots of good threads
I have a 2001 ranger 4wd. I noticed you have explorer seats in yours. What year explorer seat will fit in mine without any modifications? Just bolt in.
I remember this truck
Bought a 91 Nissan king cab 4X4 5 months ago and the restoration is finally done. And I bought it for only 1600
Who cares?
Suuuuuuch a nice truck
Is a Ford ranger make a great first car?
Are those 31's any kind of a lift
Hi brother. How big are your rims? Possibly you mention it in the video but unfortunately I don't speak English. Thank you
Nice one Dirtbike. Yeah you did forget something for sure. You forgot to do some donuts in that gravel carpark. cheers mate.
Thanks mate!
i’m huge fan of the rangers I hope they don’t screw up the 2019 hard to tell from just the videos!!
Thanks 🙏
The only problem I see with the 2019 Ranger is it has that EcoBoost engine in it don't know why they didn't put a V8 in it there's plenty of V8 options out there they could have gone with most Americans including myself would have loved a V8 Ranger those of us who own Rangers have put V8 in the Ranger but Ford would you afford things is best for Ford and not what fans of the truck want
@@addisondoty4231 Yeah, but honestly you can't complain about not putting a V8 in them now, they never really did before. I'm just glad what they put in it runs a hell of a lot better than my 4.0. I'm sure V8s will get more common as people mess with them.
any information on the front bumper guard? really like that and looking for something similar to mount my LED lamp. Just bought a 2003 FX4 Level 2, white. Getting upholstered this week. Also love the tire/wheel configuration. Looking to do something similar. (first things first).
If you weld one yourself, it will cost about 25 $ -30 $ in supplies.on eBay cheap Chinese one is 80-100$.
What is that antenna thing on the back by the toolbox, is it just an antenna?
Black Rock wheels are steel made for jeeps and rock crawlers. I have a set of 17x9 on my Ranger
Where did you get the gray edges for the back of your ranger?
How many hp does it have? Here in europe they have a2.5 turbo diesel with 100-120hp 😅
Is the 2003 model small for a ranger?
Can u give me the link on that monitor for the truck?
I am not to knowledgeable with Fords so forgive me if I am wrong here, but generally off road packages give you more than just a limited slip rear. Usually skid plates, tow hooks, nicer gear set in the rear along with the limited slip, those bilstein shocks I would suspect are part of that package too. Original tires were probably all terrain.
Truck has the same gears, tow hooks, and (lack of) skid plates as my 02 which isn't an FX4 but you might be right about the Bilstein shocks. I heard they came with either the FX4 or the FX4 Level II.
$175 ain’t bad to be honest. I seen similar ones by other companies go for $300+ in my area.
Do you have any idea what kind of fender flares those are. I’ve been looking for a pair for my 2004 ranger.
Tad Johnson fr I want those for my 2010 ranger
those trucks came factory with bilsteins and 31s
Is the explorer an suv or the pickup
Sounds like you are from N.J.
Nice pickup, yes indeed.
+Reg Sparkes Thanks for stopping by Reg!
I always do and you're welcome, this is why I subscribed,..and by the way, I like the two tone color scheme and pin striping on your truck. It IS cool!
Ouuu que chida ranger!!!
I have a 02 4x4 we’re would I get one of those little monitors that plug into the 0bd2 port?
ricky weaver I have po135
Did you ever find out the backspacing on the truck? I have the same size tires and wanting new rims with the same offset
I just asked the previous owner and he said he thought it was around 3.75
Go long travel on that baby!
Do you still have the truck?
What is that little mpg monitor thing called I'd love to have one myself and what all can it moneter
i have scangauge ii plugged into obii port at all times. besides being a scan tool for check engine light and such, it displays 4 gauges. mpg, instant mpg, intake temp, trans temp, throttle position, boost, and a bunch of others. can download other gauges if your car has the sensors for them. turns out most modern vehicles HAVE all the info, they just don't show us peasants any of it. they reset each time the car is started but you can go back and see what it is since fill up and whatever other options you can think of. i've been happy with it for about 5 years.
How much you pay for it?
What size are those wheels
Would you recomen that lift on stock shocks and springs on my 01?
Bd Realest i lifted mine 3inchs and needed to add spacers on the shocks dont lift it unless you change or put a spacer on them or it will rip as soon as you get on a speedbump or even just a little hole
It looks just like mine 😂
What kind of wheels are thos??
Monster Mode14 looks like BF Goodrich
The mirrors are aftermarket, but don't look all that bad ; )
I should never traded my 05 fx4 ranger. Awesome truck. 4.0 in that truck was awesome with 4.10 rear. Regrets
+Jarred Monaco They are great, never getting rid of mine
I had the same truck. Now I’m looking for another one. I paid $6000 for mine in 2015. Now they want double the price for ones in worse shape
Looking at buying a ford ranger, how much did you buy this for?
if you get a ranger, make sure you don't get one with the 3.0l v6, they suck ass.
I have literally that exact truck... only difference is it doesn't have the tool box, AUX lighting, or silver mirrors. And it's 2wd, but she plays off road like a 4x4.
me too only is a lifted 2008 looks just like it tough
Nice truck, I'm not a fan of automatics But I can see why you'd put up with that for this one :-)
Yeah man!
I wanna get a ranger but I don’t know if I should be concerned about getting one with an automatic transmission
@@luisdiaz1228 That all depends, Can you drive a car with a manual gearbox? do you prefer them to automatic? I know it the US Automatics are much more common than manuals but over here in Europe its the other way around. some people say you can get better economy from a manual car others prefer the control of a manual box. I guess when you get down to it its just a personal choice.
I rebuilt the motor on my 05 from top to bottom even ported the heads. In total I rebuilt almost 20 of the 4.0 sohc motors. There's a lot of unnecessary and bad information out there I promise you that
Does the exhaust tip change the sound?
Not sure, I'd have to take it off to see!
Anyone know where to buy the bar?
Daegan Patterson 31x10.50R16
Ik this is a old vid but where do you get the fender covers
Johnny Dale you can get them on eBay bud or check your local junk yards you’ll be surprised how many of these things end up there with good quality parts.
J450r hey what’s the mpg on a 04 ranger extended cab short bed xl trim v6
John Mcclane it depends on a lot of things such as wheels & tire size, how healthy the motor is and if it’s auto or standard, but stock ones usually get around 20-25 mpg
Can you link me to a video where you talk about the timing chain? 1:35
How the hell do you have 17 mpg, I'm only getting 10!!!
What do you get a tank of gas ?? I'm not ever getting 450km a tank yup Canadian. 3.0 liter
My 2009 I can get 350 450km. A tank. 4x4 4.0l
@@FRBYND ya I heard the 4.0 was supposed to be better on fuel sir the same as the 3.0 . you also get that extra snap in the throttle which would be nice. I find the my 3.0 is geared low.
What exactly does limited slip differential mean?
An LSD is a differential that limits the amount of slip between the wheels it powers. The best way to think of it, is if one wheel is on ice and the other on pavement, an open differential (non limited slip) will spin the wheel on ice and no power goes to the one on pavement. With a limited slip differential, you'll get power to both wheels allowing the vehicle to move forward.
That's being pretty generic as there are numerous types of limited slip differentials out there that behave differently. There are also locker differentials and spool differentials which do different things too.
@@Whiskey11Gaming thanks for the explanation.
What kind of tool box is that
J. James hi bro. Do you can tell me the size of the rims have this truck on video? I dnt speak english. Thanks bro👍🏻
