    Very nice auto, smooth ride, radio should not be so generic -- it looks cheap. Needs better speakers.

  • Almost as much fun as my Stang was! - 2005 Ford Ranger
    By -

    I just took delivery of this truck on 8/6/05. So far I am very pleased with its capabilities and appearance. I traded the 2000 Mustang due to rising fuel costs. But having a brand-spankin new Ford Truck with good mpg is worth it! I really like the ride height and the 16" wheels wrapped in BFGs. Makes my 4x2 look like a 4x4. I also got the Dark Shadow Gray Metallic paint...BEAUTIFUL! As for value, I bought it under Fords Family Plan. The sticker was $18,788. I paid $12,620! If youre gonna buy a Ford ... DO IT NOW! AWESOME DEALS!

    I choose to buy a Ranger over the newer completion, mainly because Im a Ford guy, and I just simply like it. I recommend it to anyone.

  • perfect for a college guy - 2005 Ford Ranger
    By -

    I recently had the transmission go out in my Chevy. I was looking for something new and I found the Ranger Edge. Its awesome in every aspect. It has great power, and is fun to drive. I have to commute to college so its perfect. Its not a 4 banger car with no power or a gas guzzling V8. Its one of the best cars I have ever owned.

    Owned a 2002 and turned it in for a 2005. It has really been developed into a great truck.

  • Best truck I ever had - 2005 Ford Ranger
    By -

    This truck has never had a problem, I pull out stumps, ride over sand dunes, and run it as hard as I can. One tough truck.

  • Desert Rat - 2005 Ford Ranger
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle to explore the Southwest deserts. As I can afford only one vehicle this truck perfectly meets all my personal and recreational needs. It is small enough to be quite maneuverable yet large enough to handle all my traveling requirements, including sleeping in the rear. Thus far it has gone everywhere I have pointed it without a hitch or complaint.

  • Best Truck Made - 2005 Ford Ranger
    By -

    I wanted this truck for a long time and finally came up with the funds to get it. It is wonderful! I am a very picky person and I can not find anything wrong with it. It is the best truck ever made!

  • Love my RANGER - 2005 Ford Ranger
    By -

    Very impressed with the build quality, and ergonomic features of the vehicle. Great support and service from my local Ford dealer (surprisingly). Former BMW and Porsche owner, so I know how service and fit and finish should be.
