Default Got a New "Winter Beater" Pics!
Just picked up a 2002 Ford Ranger Edge 4X4 extend cab-couldn't resist. 53000 miles, loaded, clean, and only 10 grand! This truck books in the upper 13's, so I figured what the hell. I am a GM man at heart, but Ford does build a decent truck. I have already had it diggin in the woods, and it does pretty damn well. It came with a cold air intake, and I have already put a Dynomax catback on (pretty tame sounding, but that's O.K. for a V6). The 4.0 L OHC V6 runs pretty good as well.









Bring on the snow!

Thanks for the kind words - it is really a clean truck, so I couldn't pass on it for 10 grand.
