I recently bought an 05 4x2 with the V6 4.0l SOHC engine. They were built in South Africa and shipped here. It is the same as yours (twin cab tray back) and sits almost as high as yours. I'd have liked a 4WD version but I got this at a decent price. Currently replacing all the cooling gear and upper gaskets. Basically everything I can renew without pulling the donk out of the bay.
Keep on top of the gearbox too, the design of the gearbox for couriers and early rangers is flawed with the oil feed being behind the main bearing and once the oil thins out it can starve the bearing of oil, causing failure throughout the entire trans. This may not be the case for 4x2 models but it is still something to be aware of just in case.

any lifts at all or just complete standard courier with no mud guards?
