 I have had the Ranger for 8 years, and it has NEVER been in the shop.1 set of brakes and 1 set of tires. Regular maintenance.Driven from CA to TN 4 times.CA to AZ countless times, towing 2 waverunners. Last week, the heater controll valve broke, but that's the only problem ever.Interior/exterior still looks new, except for someone backing into it 2 weeks ago.New complete rear bumper/Taillights ($260).In body shop next week (minor damage). Still gets 26 mpg on the hwy.Not a luxury car, but it's one of the best vehicles I've owned. Thought about selling it, but love it too much.Going to add custom upgrades and drive it for another 8 yrs. See the rest of post for more info.
