They should make a 4cylinder 4x4 ranger not 4x2

[Folgers350]

@TheJamie604 yup

[MrGrit33]

I got a 99 B3000 rwd. 5 spd...I live in Quebec, Can. In the winter I got studs on it. Worst piece of cr*p I ever drove in the winter. If there is any snow on the road you gotta drive like a granny, cuz it don't stop and takes for ever to get going always have to feather the throttle. Always got out of my driveway though.Other than that great truck (same as ranger). I'll get the 4wd next though!

[Folgers350]

yup, 2wd Rangers are terrible for driving in snow and on ice...I put three 70-pound bags of sand in the bed of mine for traction...it helps out a lot for taking off, but the extra weight makes it twice as hard to stop. lol

You Ford all the way? I like Ford but I also prefer the older 60's Dodge's and Plymouth muscle cars. I got a 91 ranger, good truck.

[Folgers350]

At least when it comes to trucks...I like all kinds of muscle cars.

PatriotAr15 = dip shit

@creamyfilling102 CONSIDERING That I've driven a few other vehicles, and have been in similar or even WORSE Road conditions, and have not had an issue losing control... YES I DO BLAME THE VEHICLE.

My dad is also a VERY well experienced driver with only one accident in his entire life, and no tickets on his record. He has lost control of his ford ranger on SIMPLE RAIN. These trucks simply are built wrong. It's what happens when there is no weight on the power-wheels.

@TheJamie604 They used to in the 90's

[creamyfilling102]

@PatriotAr15 you almost crash into someone so you blame the vehicle??

[EvanDouglas95]

@PatriotAr15 Hey. Just wanted to let you know that any vehicle on the face of the planet will lose control when you hit black ice on the freeway. Maybe that taught you a lesson to slow the fuck down if its wet or icy out. Especially on the freeway. Don't blame the ranger for your mistake.

[PatriotAr15]

Ford Rangers = death traps.

Seriously, don't drive them in icy, snowy or heck... even WET conditions. I almost lost my life in one of those pieces of shit. Driving down the highway, I lost control,... did a 180, and a truck that was now in front of me... was heading for a head on colision with me at 75mph. Guy missed me at the last second, by mere inches.

RANGERS = GARBAGE.

@TheJamie604 they did i own one its a 1991 reg cab reg box 4x4 2.3l h.o 4 cylinder



[guyd37]

@TheJamie604 Never! They used to. It was totally useless.

[CBRRiderr]

I've never had a problem with my 06 ranger 4.0 2wd sliding at all. no weight or anything. and street tires no off road. if you dont drive like a jackass and you dont tailgate, you will never have a problem.

butt... everyone i know of drives like its the indy 500 and i sit back and watch 4x4 rams, rangers f150's and everything else plow into things that arent even moving.

[thebonefish]

I have an 03 Ranger 2.3 2wd. It is pretty damn good in the winter... But I carry 350+ lbs of sand and use studded snows on the rear. It gets the job done!
