99 Ford Ranger XLT 3.0 V6 Supercab. Seats 4-5
22 mpg on the freeway.
Automatic with Overdrive
PS, PB, PW, PDL, Pwr Mirrors, tilt wheel
Dual Airbags
Cruise control
Cold A/C
Cold Weather Engine Block heater
Bedliner
Dual aluminum side mount truck boxes.
Chrome Grille, front/rear bumper.
Spare set of four Rims and tires.
Newer Brakes and rotors and shoes and drums.
This is my work truck, used every day for the last three years, for my job. I drive for a living, all over Indiana and Kentucky. I go to gas stations, usually just off of the interstate, and service Payphones.
The truck has 352,000 adult driven highway miles on it. The engine has always had Royal Purple Synthetic oil used. Very expensive oil. It does not leak, but a very tiny bit of oil does seep out in a couple places, over time, but not enough to drip, ever. The engine does not Smoke, not on startup, not ever.
The Tranny has Amsoil full synthetic Tranny fluid inside ($7/qt times 12 quarts!) It still shifts fine at all times, like new. There is a factory front mount Tranny Cooler that helps keep it cool.
The Truck still runs and drives down the road pretty much like it did when I first got it. Starts first time, purrs right along, and never surprises me. It can idle for an hour on the hottest day with the AC running, and never get close to overheating, then take off and drive 200 miles without a problem, then do it all again the next day. I have done many tuneups since I bought it. I've never abused the truck, always babied it, and it has rewarded me with mile after mile of worry free operation. It's never had heavy loads to tow, and It's never been faster than 80 mph since I've owned it, mainly because I don't speed (no tickets in 700,000 miles/seven years!) and because I don't push my vehicles at all. I will be driving this till the day it sells.
Here are all the problems.
Most of the bulbs in the speedometer cluster are burnt out, but the big one in the middle still works and you can see all the others at night by just the light of the one..
There are a few door dings, a couple tailgate dings, and many scratches on the driver door (from me leaning out to work on payphones), but most of the paint is still shiny!
The Tape player works but not as well as it used to. It plays side 2 better than side 1.
The passenger airbag stopped working, which made an airbag light come on. After about 100,000 miles of that, the light burned out, and now it beeps part of the time instead. Very annoying but you get used to it and forget about it after a while, and the beeping does go away after about 1 minute.
The driver seat is discolored, and the padding is a bit squashed...
The A/C can be finicky. After working fine for a while it can sometimes start to blow hot.. Just turn it off for 2 minutes and when you turn it back on, it's cold again.. Go figure.
Those are the only problems it has!
Kelly Blue Book says that this truck in Fair condition with 350,000 miles is worth $4625
Kelly blue Book says that in Good Condition with those miles it is worth $5285
