 I bought my Ranger from my Uncle who kept it in top shape.  I have had it a little over a year now and it has 71,000 miles on it.  My biggest complaint has to be the traction, this thing spins on spit. Mechanically the only issue's that I am having is the idle air control needed to be replaced $90.00, easy do it yourself though. My a/c pump engages all the time, even when the a/c and defrosters aren't on. Don't know what that issue is, never bothered me enough to have it checked out.
