1994 Ford Ranger 4X4 Longbed

Currently has 221,000+ miles. Bought used in 2002 with approx. 74,000 miles on it. Bought it from a guy asking $5500.00, and got it for $4500.00. So far I am on windshield number three, one rear window, one rear tailight, replaced one clutch, one alternator (when the battery light on your dash comes on its the alternator going dead), numerous brakes, 4wheel drive automatic lockouts have been burned out since I bought it, and I have never replaced them, but do know the entire 4wheel drive train works. How do I know? It was totalled once-when I was rear ended. I had it all checked out after the wreck making the insurance pay for it. My ranger ended up being salvaged-only the back bumper was bent downward due to the frame hit. I bought it back from the insurance, and actually drove it home. Two years later still driving it, lol.

Now as far as gas mileage I get about 20ish in town, and find that I can drive it around for a good three days after the gas guage says empty, and its interesting to watch the fuel needle go far past, and below, the E on the dash guage. There's quite alot of room for it to do so. When the truck starts sputtering I pull out the gas can, put a gallon in the tank, and get to the gas station. Oh and as far as driving it here in the snow in Colorado I have never had a problem, or needed that 4wheel drive that doesn't work. I have All Terrain T/A's on it, and a fiberglass campershell which provides great weight in the back, for snow traction. Never been stuck yet. I have wanted to upgrade to a F150/250, for years, but will wait until the motor gives out on this ranger first.
