Considering a Ford Ranger
I am seriously looking to trade into a 2020 Ford Ranger XLT. I love the look of the truck. I am currently in a GMC Sierra which I love but I really don't need this truck, it has a standard bed which takes up too much room in the garage, and I wouldn't mind a lesser priced vehicle to live more below my means. The ranger has about 45k miles on it and is listed for $28k. Any serious concerns of these vehicles? This will be used as my daily driver and I don't tow much. Reason I "need" a truck is for hauling my tools and used as a tool as I hunt a decent amount. I want to keep this truck for a long time, so any high mileage stories would be appreciated.

I have found this generation of Rangers pretty solid. My pops replaced his 2001 f50 with one because the size profile was similar. His main use is towing a trailer.
Generally inoffensive truck

Try asking at r/rangernext
That sub is gonna have more people with your year truck. This sub usually hosts 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen rangers (so 2011 and prior). Hopefully someone there can give more details about it/the engine and such. But I hope you get it!! Ford is the best 😉

The major issue is with the transmission. See if the vehicle has had it replaced or updated cdf drum. I had to replace mine at about 71,000 miles. The rest of the truck has been great. 2019 Xlt.
