The only thing I could tell was done since new on this truck before I got it was brakes and clutch I got the truck at 207.000km as is and it sat for 3 years before I bought it for $1000 then decided to put it on the road, because of age and lack of maintenance as well as it sitting I had to replace the following items.
Ball joints. they where not greased regularly or ever.
Throw out bearing.
Shackles/hangers, from rust.
All 4 shocks replaced.
Brake lines, flexlines, pads, shoes.
Blower fan resister
General bodywork andtouch ups for it's age.
Being a Canadian vehicle and not rust checked a day in it's life, and having a few young owners before in college it needed a lot of work. never touched the transmission, engine, or rear end though, other than tune ups. after fixing everything that was neglected by previous owners, I haven't had to replace or fix anything since I got it on the road about 5 months ago other than a rusty rad cap, I have put about 10,000km of country back roads and city driving on it hasn't given me one problem. it drives like new and is great in the snow, since it has limited slip. I would recommend this truck to anyone, it's fun to drive and dependable. it's very quiet and smooth. I plan on buying another one if this ever dies which the way it's going won't be any time soon.
I bought my first Ranger in 1992 and have had 4. All of them have been absolutely flawless. You might want to read Consumer Report's October issue in which they feature vehicles that have made over 200,000 miles with no problems. The highest mileage vehicle in the article is a Ford Ranger that has just under HALF A MILLION MILES!!! Our family has two companies that use Rangers and 300,000 miles is common. They are great trucks. Under light commercial use they easily last as long as the bullet proof F-150 big trucks.
