  • Today I'm doing something a little different. I'm showing you my 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 2WD. I've owned the truck for 2 years. I have put a bed liner in it, replaced a couple of lights, put all new shocks on it, removed the chin spoiler, replaced the brake pads, and replaced the sway bar end links and bushings. I recently got a pair of rough country coil springs that are 1.5 inches taller than the stock coil springs and will level the truck, allowing me to put 31-inch tires on without rubbing (hopefully). I will be getting the front end suspension bushings replaced and will put the new coil springs in soon. Somewhere down the road, I plan on repainting it after all the years of faded paint it has had, but that'll have to wait. I have taken the Ranger on many adventures and will be taking it on even bigger adventures soon. I hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching.

    2000 Ford Ranger was my first brand new vehicle. I was 20 and wanted something new. Mine was a super cab 2 door manual 3.0 V6. XLT. The tachometer was an option believe it or not. Mine was a manual and it still didn't have a tach but some higher end trucks did have it. Either way it was a terrific little truck.

    I use a ford ranger for my mobile detailing business. Couldn’t find a ford van, and better than a f150 for my purpose.

    Great video man!
    We are on our 4th Ranger.
    The first one was a 83 with a horrible 2.0 4cyl. It was GUTLESS. Our 2nd one was an 88 with a 2.3 , 5spd 4X4 and it was an awesome pickup. My wife didn’t have it in 4WD and hit a patch of ice, flipping it in a ditch, totaling it. Our 3rd was a 90 with a 3.0 V6. It was ok, but we needed more hp and torque.
    Our current Ranger is a 2011 XLT super cab 4X4 with a 4.0 V6, 5spd auto transmission.
    We added a K&N intake and a 3” Magniflow exhaust. ( with these 2 mods we get 25mpg on the freeway with the cruise set on 75mph).
    We / I also added a LineX spray in bed liner, running boards, custom wheels, custom 2 tone paint, (Silver over Red metallic), red pinstripes, custom upholstery to match the exterior colors, adjustable air shocks in the rear (we haul a lot of top soil, gravel, etc), skid plates.
    It has every option available on the 11 XLT including a tow pkg and limited slip differential.
    I change the oil every 4K miles with Mobile 1 full synthetic and I change the front and rear differential, transfer case and a transmission flush every 30K miles, ( which I do on every vehicle we own).
    Our Ranger will soon be 12 years old and it only has 35K original miles.
    I’ve been offered $25K for our Ranger, (KBB without the mods), but I think it’s worth at least 28K.
    We’d like to buy a full size pickup, so any offers over $27K will be considered.
    If you had the hood repainted and had yours 2 toned with tan metallic, it would be a show stopper.

    From the video it looks like you're pretty tall. I'm 6'4" myself and I'm wondering if this truck is accomodating for tall people despite being compact.

    • @MichaelVanHeemst
      @MichaelVanHeemst  3 года назад

      I’m 6ft tall and have no problems with headroom. There are probably three inches of extra room above my head or maybe even more than that. I don’t think I even have the seat all the way back either. Might wanna just try one out for yourself though...

      @MichaelVanHeemst  2 года назад

      Most are more than 3k around me. They have gone up to more than 4k recently with the way the market is. A nicer one will cost quite a lot of money for the amount of vehicle you get. They are good little trucks no matter how you cut it though. They hold their own

      @@flonkas It's in a completely stock state. All I have done is routine maintenance and replace parts. The only things I have absolutely had to replace was the radiator, water pump, timing chain cover gasket, the timing chain, and the AC compressor. I bought the truck with 157K and it now has 184K. It's done thousands of miles on dirt. I'm pretty happy with it to say the least.
