Good Ole Truck---FOR A FORD - 2005 Ford Ranger
By JARHEAD - September 17 - 11:25 pmGood overall for recreation use, farm use, work use, but not for trying to raise a family. It is a compact truck, but sometimes I feel 2 people in the front is too much. Overall it is a good truck, strong power on the low end, but lacks oomph above 65. Suspension is a bit stiff, almost like driving a solid front axle. I would recommend this truck. Wanning, for a compact truck the gas economy stinks! 16/20.

review - 2005 Ford Ranger
By Bob - September 6 - 1:40 amVery nice auto, smooth ride, radio should not be so generic -- it looks cheap. Needs better speakers.

another Ford - 2005 Ford Ranger
By dave - September 5 - 5:33 pmThe 3.0 just doesnt have the power for todays highways, not even talking about the poor gas mileage of 18.5 if I am real careful. Just sold my 91 Ranger with 168,000 and it was able to get 22+ miles per gal. and the 4.0 engine was very great with plenty of power.

Almost as much fun as my Stang was! - 2005 Ford Ranger
By X-StangOwnr - August 8 - 8:28 pmI 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!

Great Buy - 2005 Ford Ranger
By Larson - August 1 - 10:22 pmI 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 DK - July 26 - 3:20 pmI 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.

Best truck I ever had - 2005 Ford Ranger
By j phillips - June 26 - 10:13 amThis 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 Bob H - June 19 - 11:39 amI 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.
