Nice...... - 2006 Ford Ranger

Its a truck. - 2006 Ford Ranger
By kdub989 - October 18 - 12:39 pmBought mine used off Clist. Love my truck! The 4cyl isnt fast on steep grades but neither am I. However, with the 4cyl and 5spd, Im averaging 29.5mpg combined and 32.2mpg hwy and thats running the a/c and with a Leer canopy. The truck is very quiet and comfortable that we prefer to take it on long road trips instead of our honda, subaru or dodge caliber. Our ranger is a 2wd but I installed a powertrax no-slip in the rear end and off road its fantastic. Ive pulled a small utility trailer with 2 motorcycles on it with no problems. Ive had zero problems with our truck. It handles well on windy twisty back roads and is a great truck for exploring those same roads.

Nice little truck - 2006 Ford Ranger
By Shane - February 27 - 12:38 amI went from an old F-150 to this, and being 63" it was definitely as step down in size. That being said, I fit in it and it gets a lot more mpgs than my last truck. It is quiet and fun to drive.

I show mine in car shows - 2006 Ford Ranger
By ghost ranger - January 24 - 3:49 pmI love my truck I have been showing in car shows for three years. It is fun to drive and runs good.I think that Ford is wrong for stopping production on them. I have had six new cars since 1999. This is the only one I would buy over again but I cant because there not going to make it anymore. I am sure I am not the only one.

Awesome Vehicle! - 2006 Ford Ranger
By aj - January 20 - 8:38 pmThis is a wonderful truck. The 4X4 system works great. Great gas mileage. we had a 2003 Mazda B3000 prior to purchacing this truck. The Mazda had a 3.0L V6 and the Ford has a 4.0L V6, so we were expecting to lose some gas milage, but no we did not. The Ford is just as easy on gas as the Mazda was. The 4.0L V6 has lots and lots and lots of power. The air conditioner works great.

Great Truck! - 2006 Ford Ranger
By Terry - December 28 - 9:34 pmI love the little truck. With a 4 cylinder engine, I can only wish that it had more torque. I shouldnt complain when Im getting about 29 miles to a gallon on the highway.

Its a blast - 2006 Ford Ranger
By shorty6 - September 29 - 9:37 pmI looked at Toys but design is quircky. Im 63"& easily fit behind wheel in Ranger. I run 30K/yr. When I need to haul heavy, this is the truck! Ride is very good with 100# or more in the bed, kinda choppy without a load but it is a truck. 4 cyl. is 143hp, yahooo! It gets on the hiway fast, stops on a dime, 27-29 mpg, blows away other trucks ie Nissan, Chevy Colorado, Toys in price!, in value!, in economy!, in performance!, in maintanence cost! My 98 Ranger gave me 218,000 miles. The difference in price to competition buys an awful lot of fuel and repairs if any. At 100K, I only have standard maintainence. Ford will lose me if Ranger gos away. I love its big hp in small package, blastoff!

We need a Ranger Hybrid - 2006 Ford Ranger
By Hank - June 29 - 4:02 pmI love this truck. I purchased it brand new with 8 miles on it. Now I am somewhere near 35000 miles on it. It is a 4 cyl, I am getting 26.5 miles on average miles per gallon. I think Ford should make these trucks in a hybrid version with 4 cylinder engine. In fact an electric plug in Ranger would be ideal. My next vehicle and my wifes will be a hybrid or somehing more efficient. If I have to I will build my own electric Ranger

Great truck - 2006 Ford Ranger
By ed - May 25 - 5:52 amI bought this truck used, and so far I love it. It drives great, I get 21.7 mpg so far. Just look around and you can see all the rangers still on the road. Im a tall guy and can stretch out all the way. This one is loaded with everything so complaints.
