The air conditioner went out about a year ago and cost $700 to get fixed (a necessity in Texas).
Timing belt was changed, but it was regular maintience.
The original paint is just as pretty as it was ten years ago.
The interior has held out remarkably well.
It is underpowered. I have trouble keeping up with traffic sometimes.
Clutch still works great.
I personally think the truck is wonderful, and I enjoyed your review, but I feel you gave it a little betrayal when you said it is underpowered. Your truck does have a little engine in it... i take it it's the small v6? well I own the exact same one, but mine is the 4.0 and it'll beat any Chevy with a 350. so I think it's great and not underpowered, its just the size of your engine. thanks.
2.3 is a 4 cyl.
I have owned a 3.0 ranger, great small truck. I ended up getting rid of it when rust ate away the frame (its was 1993 in the northeast...)
But saying a 4.0 will destroy a 350 is just... no, it won't happen.
