1994 Ford Ranger XLT 2dr Regular Cab SB (2.3L 4cyl naturally aspired 5M)
I bought my Ford Ranger when it was one year old in 1995. My truck had 40,000 miles on it then. 10 years later it has 227,000 miles on it! I still love this truck. Last summer I replaced the transmission and thought of getting another vehicle. I didn't need to; here it is another year later and it is still driving fantastic. Through the years I have replaced one water pump (at 160,000 … miles) 2 batteries, the clutch at 190,000 miles, the oxygen sensor, brakes, tires, and the faulty emergency brake recall item. I can't think of anything else. (oh, I did replace the serpentine and timing belts as a precaution at 120,000 miles). A FANTASTIC vehicle. This is my third Ranger and I will buy another.
Very Suprised

1994 Ford Ranger XL 2dr Extended Cab SB (2.3L 4cyl naturally aspired 5M)
Overall this truck has surprised me. I'm a Chevy lover and yet i like this truck. Very comfortable and great on gas. Despite i have the two wheel drive version it love the mud. No major problems with it. 189,000 miles and still going strong.

1994 Ford Ranger XLT 2dr Regular Cab SB (2.3L 4cyl naturally aspired 5M)
I bought my 1994 Ford Ranger for a steal at 1000 dollars. When I bought it, it had 328,000 miles on as far as I know the first engine. I have only replaced the starter and the fuel pump and soon it will need a new clutch but other than that it still runs great at 337,000 miles.
Best car ever

1994 Ford Ranger XLT 2dr Regular Cab LB (2.3L 4cyl naturally aspired 5M)
I have never been a Ford owner but have
to say my Ranger is the best car ever.
In the past 10 years I have only
replaced brakes and tires once and not
even a tune up has been required. Only
problems have been with cruise control
(stopped working) and occasional
leaking gas near filler neck.
