Ford Ranger Impresses

[Billhook]

Just had our Miscanthus cut with a monster 600 hp Claas and the driver loaded his Ford up a very steep ramp.  I really thought that he would bottom out especially with the weight of the tank in the back but it went up easypeasy

They are great old trucks, I have two. Mazda underneath which is why they are more reliable than the modern ones!

I run one, had it for over 7 years now very reliable. I do often think about changing it but everything's dpf and regen nowadays. Does all I need it to

Had mine since new in 2009, nearly 200k on it now and still good. Picked up a jumbo bag of MOT at local supplier recently and a builder with transit dropside couldn't believe it carried it so well, don't really know you've got it on.

Did he drive it up and then you made him take it off again so you could film it? Or were you getting ready with the camera so you'd be able to film the fail and send it in to you've been framed?

We ran one of those Mazda Rangers for years, was a brilliant truck. Rust got the better of it in the end sadly, we couldn’t kill it mechanically!

Just a light scrub underneath by the sounds of it ?? Under rated pickup.  Which is good. Makes those old ones good value and they go on for years.  
stick a 2 inch lift on them and they are great.
