The current Bill-mobile.....

[LaserSVT]

At least its a Ford! :lol:


2002 Ford Ranger 4-door king cab with the 5 speed auto and 3.0 V-6
This thing followed me from Hawaii to Texas and isn't a car I am flipping. One owner and the only person that has worked on it since the warranty expired is me. Truck is as solid as they come. 88k and pretty well equipped. Has no issues at all and everything works like new.

Its slow but trusty and gets pretty decent mileage. Granny left it to me when she moved to Idaho. Nice solid truck to have while I buy and sell crappy cars.

Ive had it a few weeks but this is the first time I cleaned it all up enough to show it.

And proof its from Maui.

that is one clean truck.
as clean as my grandpa's white ranger, but his only has 9000 miles!

 

[My Great 8]

Nice truck Bill! Can't kill a 3.0. Did you get rid of the Honda?

 

[LaserSVT]

Nope, Honduh is still for sale. Been holding me up waiting on the damn Nigerian to send the title.

 

[AndyT]

Nice! Looks really clean. Good luck with it....

 

[Right on the Mark]

Man that thing is clean. The 3.0 V6 is like the tiniest looking v6. Its not a 90 degree engine right? like a 70 degree.

I have no idea about that motor. My grandmother always took good mechanical care of the truck but the thing was nasty when I got it. Wheels were black and took forever to polish. Thick dust on everything inside too. But it cleaned up well.

Truck hasnt needed anything other than normal maintenance since it rolled off the lot. Only things I have had to do to it (and was a couple years ago) was install new brakes, new upper ball joints, new shocks, new battery and thats it. Everything else was on it when it was built. She never once drove it at night so it even has all the original bulbs. LOL!

It does need new rubber and the front pads are worn down enough to think about replacing them and getting some fresh rotors. Also just noticed the bushings on the front shocks are gone. They were just Gabriel replacements though so I will order some OEM ones in the future but other then that I cant fault the truck at all.

Nice! That is a perfect long-term DD.

damn nice ranger. i had a 07 black ranger. was a nice truck, but my sister beat on that truck everyday.

Nice truck, I have it's twin other then it's a 4.0, 5 speed, 4wd, and needs a good cleaning. It's even an 02.

 

[LaserSVT]

The only real dammage it has is a scratch where my granny backed into my fence a while back. The rear bumper seems to have hit something at some point too.

Engine is dirty as hell so I need to clean that.

Only 82K 90% of those miles are from doing under 55mph as well. Granny wouldnt do 60 on the interstates. :lol:

 

[Mark8Murder]

Great truck! That's what my pops cruises around.

not 4x4?

 

[Big Mike]

Flipping cars for income? Awesome, Bill. Heh, that's what I do too, among other things. Been off and on at it since before I could drive. I'm actually running out of a dealership now though, and the auctions are an excellent way to make a bigger profit.

 

[DieselDan]

Good looking truck. It is actually a 60* v6 btw... Where did the Mousetang go?

 

[UltimateSVT]

Wow, nice... Go figure, that truck went through 2 ships to & from Hawaii. Got yourself a sweet tropical truck.

I use to have a ranger and it was a great truck but it was to small for me.. Sold it 5 years ago and got my King Ranch Supercrew and havent looked back

 

[LaserSVT]

PINK? How is that pink? Ok, well maybe the color in the pictures is off, but have you never seen any King Ranch Ford product?

Edit: Ahh, never mind. I was scrolled over just far enough to not see who posted that. Forget it.... lol

Owned a KR once and was a nice truck. I know they have dark brown saddle colored leather. But his pics sure do make them look pink.
