the list goes on and on
You don't know the right people.

'91 Town Car - 135K and still rollin'
'94 Ranger XLT - 127K and still rollin'
Numerous Rangers on sites listed above with well over 200K

Don't get me wrong. I am not particulary a Ford fan. I much prefer Pontiac.

Just couldn't resist...

Yea wrong ford crowd My boss and I still use our 1984 Ford F150 for the tough work up near brainerd, and it'* got over 300k miles on it. Of course it'* got the bulletproof 4.9L Inline 6, 1bbl carb, you know the one that revs like a diesel. Couple that to the back-in-the-day ford CAST IRON 4-speed manual tranny with granny gear and a super low transfer case with manual hubs and you've got yourself one helluva good truck.

you guys keep complaining about fords dying prematurely and stuff, where as the original topic was about the pro'* and con'* of a ranger.


btw, my ford is at 202k miles :P
