Thumbs up new daily driver!

my old dd was a 2000 grand am gt. love that car but the mileage was getting up there. trust me guys i am not a ford man and if pontiac made a truck i would have gotten that but rangers are pretty good trucks. got this 2007 ranger brand new. its crazy how you get out of your t/a and get in a 2.3l 5 speed and how different it is. check the pics.

it only does it under certain places. high volume areas such as regional forums, street racing and kills, and part sections do not count. Most other areas do count towards it. Its posted as a sticky somewhere, check it out.

They're good trucks. I had a '95 I got new back in H.S. That thing was damn near indestructable. Never gave me any trouble. I drove it for 3 years and it probably hit every ditch in this county atleast once. I ended up selling it and got a '98 T/A M6. That was a change..4cyl auto Ranger to LS1/6spd T/A

I had a 99 Ranger a few years ago, but it was a 3.0 5spd, it was good to me before I took the plasma and welder to it, yeah it got bagged, drug the hell out of it( drug through the front crossmember and the lower A-arm bushings) and it still ran like a champ, even at 130k on stock plugs n wires..
