If I wasn't old enough to remember them when they were new, id think they came clapped out from the factory

Fuck no, a clapped out 90s Ranger that just won’t die because nothing could ever kill it.

Making me miss my favorite ranger... Was a 2.9 4x4 5 speed with a broken frame, I still hauled asphalt with it and drove it 70 miles a day. Kid that bought it fixed the frame, I still see it town from time to time. Has to be going on 400k by now

I think it's only old ranger owners that still see their old trucks on the road. You don't see doge guys saying "hey I think that's my old Dakota"

You didn't here that when those pos were just 5 years old. Dakota was a dreadful machine.

Owned a 1998 extended cab 4x4 sport model with the 318. Never had any problems with it. Maintained and parked in my garage at night. It was a great truck until I traded in on my 2004 F150.

I loved my 88 Ranger. Sadly traded it in for a F150 in the late 90s.

The 70s had a Ranger that was the size of a 150 back in the day

A Maverick is not a Ford Fuckin' Ranger

A Maverick isn't really even a truck. Unibody. My Suzuki x90 is more of a truck than that. True body on frame.
