[QUOTE="johnrunner, post: 110172, member: 925"] Rangers are nice little trucks...although I'm a chevy guy and recommend them over any other brand of trucks. As my bro says...their King of trucks lol. You can get a Chevy S10 for about $2000 more or less depending on condition, area etc.. I had a 4 cylinder manual transmission 98' Chevy S10 for over 6 years and put almost 100K miles on it. I feel bad to admit but I neglected doing scheduled maintenance on it the entire time. Gave it a couple oil changes through the years but that was it. Only fixed things if they went out (which wasn't often). But heck, I was young and freshly new to the driving world so you can't blame me. Point is, I drove that thing like a race car. Red line shifts, hard braked turns and constant clutching were the normal in that thing. The engine or clutch never gave me an issue and were never replaced. Started every time like a champ and took me to my 45 mile commute daily with out worries. Then took me on desert trips on the weekends to ride. Plus it got almost 25mpg! I wont lie though, I did have a couple expensive fixes on it (rear differential went out due to a couple T/C's off roading :smirk: and gf's burned the starter trying to teach her to drive stick shift :doh:) but other than that, it was golden. Tacoma's are nice reliable truck as well...BUT their resale value is insane, so prepare to pay big $ if you go that route. [/QUOTE]
