  Good lil truck - 2002 Ford Ranger
  By CJ - August 16 - 11:31 am

  My ex-wife bought the Ranger in Dec of 02, and decided she didnt like it. I got it in the divorce, and I loved it! With the 4.10 rear axle it pulled like a full size pickup, and with its lighter weight it was quick off the line empty. The only downside was that the 4.10 rear end made it suck fuel like a full size pickup. It took me through mud, snow drifts, and I could pass going uphill with a trailer attached. Im 64" and there is enough leg room for me to be comfortable.

  Growing out of my truck - 2002 Ford Ranger
  By M. Thoma - August 9 - 6:56 am

  My family is growing so unfortunately my truck has to as well. I have said many times that if I did not HAVE to get a new truck I would keep this until it falls apart. And at the rate things are going that could be a long time. I will go through 3 feet of snow while every other full size SUV is spinning their wheels. I have taken it through ditches, over curbs, across the country twice (both times fully loaded) with no problems. It is a truck and the best I have ever driven. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a serious, no frills, no luxury vehicle that will get the job done every time. P.S. Im 64" and it fits me fine.

  Another good Ford - 2002 Ford Ranger
  By Bill Meana - August 7 - 12:31 pm

  This is my third Ford Ranger. I upgraded with the options each time. The current vehicle i am driving has the 4 liter engine with the towing package and it handles my 2000 lb boat very well. I will definitely buy another Ford.

  2002 Ford Ranger - 2002 Ford Ranger
  By 2002 Ford Ranger - May 22 - 10:30 pm

  I have owned my 2002 Ford Ranger since August 2002, and overall I am extremely happy with my purchase. I dont know why so many of the automobile trade magazines and even you Edmunds put down the Ford Ranger as being obsolete! I compared the Ford Ranger against the Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier, and Chevrolet S-10 at the time and I choose the Ford Ranger. My Ford Ranger has been reliable 100% of the time. It is easy to do the routine preventative maintenance. The price was right. I get better gas mileage (28 mpg in town driving and 34 mpg highway driving) than what the sticker showed for estimated expected MPG. If I were to buy another truck, I would definitely buy a Ford again.

  The Best! - 2002 Ford Ranger
  By G - May 5 - 9:20 am

  My Ford ranger is built in Edison NJ. The Truck was put together very well. Have had no problems at all with it. The rear window is solid. The 5sp. manual works very well, if your towing things around, like in upstate NY. This is my first ranger, and I will keep on buying. My Ranger came with Goodyear RT/S tires on. Good tires. Also in the interior, there is almost NO noise. Unlike in the other Manuf, you get alot or road noise.

  Awesome Truck! - 2002 Ford Ranger
  By Eric - March 31 - 7:51 pm

  I bought this truck about a year ago and I love it. It has the 4.0 liter sohc V6 engine which has plenty of power and is very reliable (except the alternator goes a little wacky sometimes - the plug going to the voltage regulator goes bad sometimes). But I still wish Ford would make the 4.6 liter v8 available for the Ranger.

  The Little Truck That Could - 2002 Ford Ranger
  By kevy002 - December 12 - 10:00 am

  I purchased this truck a month ago and use it everyday for work. I put a box cover on it and store all my eqipment and parts back there. The 4 doors help a huge amount when trying to get to things in the back of the cab. My first new truck, and it rocks!

  2002 Ranger 4x2 Supercab 3.0 - 2002 Ford Ranger
  By Mongo - April 7 - 5:57 pm

  Bought this with 3,000 miles on it, now has 41,000 miles. Except oil and filter changes Ive had to do no repairs. Bought a Ford Extended warranty - may have wasted $800.00 on it. Has a manual transmission which shifts effortlessly. Only thing I wish I had was a tilt steering wheel as Im 64" and sometimes my knee knocks the turn signal on.

  A Big Little Truck - 2002 Ford Ranger
  By Joe.C - March 29 - 11:07 am

  I just picked up my used XLT to replace my weak, extremely uncomfortable, gas guzzling 04 Nissan Frontier. The exterior styling is great. The ride quality is dead on and interior room is outstanding. I am 60" with long legs and I am so comfortable. This past weekend I was riding around with 3 other adults in there. The 3.0L is a little weak but its not meant to be a speed demon. This vehicle had 36K on it when I picked it up and its great. My Nissan with only 5K on it had squeaks and rattles. I always liked Ford trucks and I am glad to own one. Great buy, best in its class by far. I should have bought this truck first. Live and learn I guess. I learned the Ranger is the best choice
