 I almost didn't buy this truck, as it had a lot of miles on it.  After a lengthy test drive, the truck felt solid, shifted nice, and drove very well, so I did buy.  I've had it for some time now (a few months - actually it's my winter beater/rainy day driver), and it's just passed over 250,000 miles.  The 2.3 liter engine uses no oil between oil changes, and makes no funny noises.  It's a little short on power, but it's more than made up for that with it's relentless reliability.  I see these trucks everywhere, and they are, figuratively speaking, a dime a dozen.  I looked at Toyota, but they resale they hold is insane, which I'm told is due to the longevity of their engines.  I know I haven't owned it for an extended amount of time (years), but I would say, money spent, the four cylinder Ranger is as good, or better than the, incredibly overpriced Toyota's out there.
