I have a 2011 xlt, I LOVE it. Cant beat a five speed and the 4 liter v6 it’s a really good combo and the 4 wheel drive works great two, I’ve got some bigger (not huge but way bigger than stock) mud grabbers on mine and I’ve never gotten it stuck!! Very decent gas mileage as well, just gatta make sure you shift under 2k ripums
@@oceapliler6959 i know this is a year old but finally someone's saying it. I don't know if it's a gearing thing or people are only talking about the 3-4-5 shifts, cuz if you shift 1-2-3 even at 2k the RPMs drop to 1100-1200 and you have to riiiide that clutch out to get no lug. I'd rather burn dinosaurs than clutches and just shift it to where the revs never dip below 1500, no lugs. For the record I've got 4.10s which I figured would make the low RPM shifts as favorable as could be since they're shorter overall
@@FuskyTheHusky81 Yes it is , and i haven't put it on a dyno . I'm just going with the numbers that were posted . I don't even know what the torque numbers are supposed to be either . but it has more trouble hooking up than spinning . And any more power would be totally pointless in a 3,100 pound truck .
My 4.0 v6 is a pig on gas even with 3.73 gears. With that said parts are super cheap and there is no complex fuel delivery systems. I will take more fill ups and less potential of shit breaking.
@@bluecowairsoft8154 lmao yea my Camaro ss gets 50mpg. I said this truck, this particular truck gets 11mpg . I have an 08 2.3 with the 5 speed. On the highway I get 26mpg. So you’re either lying or you don’t know how to measure mpg
What's the purpose of your clip? Tells me nothing. Well I noticed you downshifted into first going too fast . That's not good better off using second gear anything over 10 mph
You realize youtube is free to upload whatever the user wants right? Like you do realize that right? And another thing if you had read the name of the video it kinda explained the whole video, idk some people just arnt capable of comon since anymore, you are acting like you paid the guy to make you some top quality video. There's another thing you probably dont realize as well, the world does NOT revolve around you, you prob wouldn't like silent comedy my guess is you would be completely lost.
This is the perfect truck.
Truck is a strong word
@@jonnysimpson093 just like this Ranger and other Ford Trucks
No frills. Just a good honest work truck. Exactly what trucks should be. You don't need chrome steps or neon speedometers.
@@jonnysimpson093 you're right, it's not a real truck unless it's an $80k daully that tows shit once every 3 years.
@@jasonlyle3818 hahahahaha
Just got a '93 4.0 4x4 manual - love it!
I have a 2002 Ranger 4x4 with a 5 Spd. I love shifting that old beast, Its my old yellow tank.
I just bought a 98 ranger xlt manual 2.5 ltrs with 160000 miles on it I just love it
Looks like my 95 Explorer that just turned over 271,000 Miles!

Shift at 2k? What the hell for?
@@oceapliler6959 He's saying that because shifting at lower RPMS will give you better gas mileage.
@@11Hemi345 can't lug the gears man gotta get them up there I shift at around 3k

I want a truck like this one as my first car.
I have a 2 wheel drive Ranger Edge with the 4 liter , but mine is a auto . 220 HP in a Ranger can be more than a little fun
what mods are you running to get 220 HP? I'm assuming it's an SOHC?

I just bought that truck today down in port Huron 😂
Only driven a 2.3L in manual. That must be a fun drive.
Yes very torquey motor. Ended up selling it to my neighbor.
@@nickatlife8624 Why?
I had more cars then space
I know you did not put driving gloves on for a Ford ranger 😂
No ha it was below freezing that day and I didn't warm the truck up
Have you ever driven a 4 liter Ranger ? Pretty sporty truck .
@@OlderthanIlookyoungerthanIfeel not the 4x4 it’s geared low
@@HOTSHOT-ls1bc mine is a 2 wheel drive Edge model .
No it was actually a negative day in Minnesota so everything is cold. In older cars in the north you need gloves
What year is this truck?
04 ranger with the 4.0
which one better? auto or manual?
Both are fantastic. My father has had 3 Rangers. His current 2004 model is an auto with 280,000 miles and still going strong.
How do you use the 4x4 is same as normal
The older 94ish rangers you would lock it in outside. But this ranger is a button in the cab
Donde esta el freno mano en esa truck?
Un pedal, a la izquierda del embrague, un poquito más arriba.
aaa verdad ya lo encontre gracias amigo .
How is it on gas? I’m looking to get one
Sold it to my neighbor never took any big trips with it. So never checked the mpg sorry

@@nyquil07na38 tall gears aren’t always the answer
What's the purpose lol
I bet that little truck gets like 11 mpg 🤦🏻♂️ ford is terrible
mine gets 20 in suburbia and my 2.3 ranger gets 32 mpg

Folks dont get so bent out of shape over someone's opinion. It's ok still to give your two cents or no?
