  Ford Ranger LEVEL 2 - 2006 Ford Ranger
  By Dave - July 9 - 7:25 pm

  I bought it for towing, off roading sometimes both at the same time. And I commute to work in it. It has performed flawlessly. Couldnt ask for a better truck, I would say its even with Toyota with quality and fit and finish, except the Ranger is still small enough to run on the narrow trails in the mountains, and its cheaper to purchase and operate.

  FX4 Awesome to Drive - 2006 Ford Ranger
  By afmkolo79 - July 5 - 8:43 pm

  Ok so I traded in a VW Jetta and got this truck. Friends of mine were like what am I thinking, but when we took it off-roading for the first time everyone was impressed! A friend has a Nissan Frontier (2006) and I was able to get through stuff and his frame was scrapping. So much for that wider body on the Frontier. I love this truck and the price for what I got was unbelievable. All those people that complain about not having a crew cab, maybe you should consider a sedan cause trucks haul things not people.

  Great Basic Truck - 2006 Ford Ranger
  By Chris - March 26 - 2:29 am

  My reason for buying this vehicle was the sudden death of an older vehicle and my frequent need to borrow one of my friends trucks. I was expecting a very unrefined vehicle that I could load a bunch of stuff in and get mediocre fuel economy (my other working vehicle is a diesel Jetta). This truck still in break in but gets about 34 real world mpg if driven/shifted in a manner that keeps the engine between 2k-3k rpms (torque band). Thats about 70% city driving. The power could be better but for what it is Im not complaining. I got this truck new for about $13500 with 100k extended warranty.

  Repeat buyer - 2006 Ford Ranger
  By William C - December 29 - 12:29 pm

  If this is a "tired design" Ill take more. In fact I did, this is my second new Ranger, the first one gave me 18 years of good service. The 2006 XLT is solid and powerful, fun to drive. The Ford OHC 4.0 has plenty of punch and the 5 speed shifts well. The Tacoma and Dakota are too large to be considered a compact truck. I drove a GMC Canyon, its OK but it didnt impress me.
