  • These things are dagerously slow. A Geo metro would easily out run it.

  • you are correct ,they are not speed demons , they were built for torque . Geo's or any crappy Korean car are fast just for a moment . Geo Metros last a year and are sent to the recyclers for scrap. These Rangers with the Perkins diesel engines are like the turtles , slow but out run any car you can mention in the long run and they are still running and they will do it for 600,000 + miles without an itch.

  • How much are these worth?

  • Well, it depends the condition of the whole truck, in this case it's worth between $1,000 and $1,400 because the body is bad, but I had a few rust free ones that I sold for $4,000, and some in between.

  • I can get one in decent shape for 750.

  • where ? I buy it

  • @NathansBackwoods i looked at one yesterday and they said around 40mpg

  • The body is 'a little rusty' lol. Perkins diesel should go as long as a Cummins! I'm gonna have to learn more about these. I bet they are very rare. Thanks for the video!

  • i have one and it is strong and runs great with over a million miles really a great and rare truck

  • @CumminsDave92 that would be because he was talking about the "power brakes" booster, and not the master cylinder..

  • @CumminsDave92 He said hes not sure which is bad the booster or the air pump.

  • you called the master cylinder a power booster why lol?

  • About what fuel mileage are you getting?

  • XL model of course

  • @4everdiesel they do not have turbo, if you put on on you will see a great increase in its acceleration :D.
