"great work truck"
"3rd ranger I have owned. Bought this one new, fall of 03 with 127 miles on it. All good until 2019 when I driver coming toward me fell sleep behind the wheel and ran into my drivers side rear wheel. Dented the bed and broke the leaf spring and bent the rear bumper. Replaced the leaf spring and shocks and fixed the bed and bumper. Good as new, did not bend the frame. 16 years old and only thing I had to fix was a small evap leak on the tank seal. Had to tighten a little. Hauled whatever I wanted, pulled bushes out of ground. Drove through ice and snow, no problem. Drove great for a 2wd. Body has no rust, paint still looks good as new."
