Just in time for a winter beater. 1998 Ranger 3.0 V6 5 Speed. 198k miles.
Not perfect, but seems to run and drive fine. 4x4 and the heat works. Would be a fun winter beater. The danger comes from the airbag light flashing, I think it needs a new crash sensor. Located near Grand Rapids. 1800 obo. PM for more info, mine.
Uffda, good price, good kick-around truck, is close.
Please sell quickly so I can move along...
In reply to RACEC4R :
Seriously. Anyone know why the Ranger MTs are rated to tow so much less than the ATs? I'd love to have a truck capable of towing 5k ish. (c/d/e are rear axle ratios of 3.55/3.73/4.10)
I guess I'm asking if you can fudge the MT numbers up a bit because the AT models are rated higher.
This truck has a hitch, but cant comment on its towing prowess.
Speculating here, but apparently the manual transmission was the M5OD-R1, and in 2001 they started using an HD upgraded version of said transmission with the SOHC engine, so I guess the non-HD version is just not very strong.

Regardless, good luck with the sale.
How is a truck that old in Michigan not made of green cheese? Very impressive.

Oh it's got rust, but nothing catastrophic.
$1500 sound better to anyone?
If that was a southern truck it would be long gone.
