Not sure which truck to get?
I have to get a truck this winter but at the same time hoping I can save on gas a little. So i'm looking at a 96 ford ranger, 90 f 150, and an 01 ram 1500. I'm prioritizing the ranger because according to the internet it gets 20-26 mpg. Where as i know the ram and f150 would get terrible gas mileage. Do rangers actually get significantly better mileage or is it negligible? And which truck would you pick for reliability?
The Ranger is a solid truck, better that the others, but they are often run into the ground and dumped. Make sure it has been cared for and isn't beat up, and it will likely be a good choice.
Rangers are pretty good trucks. Old SR5 Tundras are very reliable too.
If the Ford is a four cylinder engine it will get good gas mileage but the towing, hauling and off road capability of the truck will be severely diminished. Especially if it's an automatic.
Buy a truck for what you need a truck for and live with gas mileage you get. Dodge will be the worst.
I'd look at a Toyota V6 Tacoma.
Truck = Toyota
You are looking at old trucks. Do not worry about the mileage. Worry about the CONDITION of the vehicles.
- My 2000 Ford Ranger 6 Cyl 3.0 L has been overheating. Pretty sure its a radiator problem but odd symptoms? Truck exhaust will puff moderate amount of white smoke (every now n again) on cold startup but will subside after engine warming up.Truck "Was" overheating until i put more coolant in but realised cap was steaming along with coolant reservoir (reservoir was also bubbling). So i bought a new radiator cap. I got a safety cap and after installing I drove a little and engine temp goes to red really fast. What could it be? Thermostat? Water pump? Blown head gasket?
- Media and the left are bent on believing Ford no matter what. Will she make up details to make sure her story is believable? So far her only witness has denied being there. Her details are so sketchy they are not really believable. But, Kavanaugh is being roasted anyway. This is just terrible. The point being, she could say ANYTHING at this point and the left would believe it. She can contradict herself (the number of people in the room) or she can flat out lie because we're not demanding any proof. It is really terrible what they are doing to Kavanaugh.
- I took my truck my truck to ford to fix a very loud noise and when I Get it back same its the same? I spent eight hundred and something dollars to get this fixed they said I should replace two of them the front and back so they can have the same life span so I forked out another 400 bucks but now when I go home and has the same noise when I turn now they're trying to sell me a wheel bearing for two hundred buckS, its been 5 days what should I do
- For truck pulling, what determines which vehicle would win in a truck pull? Is it the torque, horse power, weight, tire softness, or other factors that are in theca\car that would determine what would win in a truck pull? Lets say if you get a Bugatti Veyron and tie it with a Ford Raptor. Which one would win?
