smallpancake Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I'm ordering a 2008 Ranger Sport in a few days. The inside is junk IMO, but they're most likely discontinuing the Rangers this year, so I want my hands on one. Any complaints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Why would you buy a car.... that you think looks rubish? Interior is ok IMO.Could have made a better center console though. But it looks pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallpancake Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 Did I say the whole vehicle was rubbish? Sorry my wording was off, but I meant the interior is...typicalFord quality. They've had the same interior style since 95. Other than that, I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highwire Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I like the truck. How much is it? The inside looks OK but that type of seatbelt aint that attractive. But still a good and cool truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9 Krew Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Nice truck. I love the exterior and the interior is alright. Are you going to do anything to it?? like dump it or rise it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Nice truck.I love the exterior and the interior is alright. Are you going to do anything to it?? like dump it or rise it up Anyone who lowers a truck is STUPID. And I don't think it really needs to be raised, it doesn't seem like a truck you'd raise. And not everyone who buys a vehicle has to "customize" it when they get it((I put quotations on customize because what most people do isn't really custom anymore, because EVERYONE is fucking doing it)). Anyways, my dad has a Ranger. It's like a 2002, though, I think. He bought it for his pool route. It works, drives nice and shit. I like it.

smallpancake Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Out of all the posters on here, you always have a unique touch to your replies. I love you Spaz. I've seen quite a few people raise their Rangers, but they're 4X4, unlike mine which will be 4X2. Why on earth would I lower it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Pie Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 It must be a gas-guzzler; I'll pick a Toyota Tacoma/Hilux instead, after watching one being tortured in Top Gear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallpancake Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Sorry I don't do imports. American only. Yeah, the 3.0 is not the most efficient motor, but the mileage is nice for a small pickup (20/24). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Some Chevy's look pretty too IMO. Barely see any here though. My point was that the interior is the place you are going to see most. Messed up the sentence a bit.. Does it have any choices/packets for the car that also changes the interior? Cause except for that it look cool.

smallpancake Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 It's not too bad with the options I chose: Power Equipment (windows, mirrors, keyless entry) and 6 CD Changer with a decent sound system. I would get leather interior, but that is only available on the supercab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 6 CD changer? Isn't that somewhat over the top? I don't know about the US, but here it is cheaper to buy the car and then add all those add-ons like leather and good radio. That's because when you buy a car, everything is with 50 % 'luxury'tax. What basically means that the the Dutch government is trying to suck even more money out of the people. But if you buy it afterwards it 'only' has 19% tax on it. For the Mercedes my Dad has bought it saves about 1000 EUR, so I might check that out. But then the US probably has a completely different system.

smallpancake Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 I removed it, because it was setting me back $400. But, I really wanted it for the additional speakers that were included, along with a few other goodies. You're right, it would be cheaper to have this installed by a third party.

Sherman Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Doesn't look bad, my friend got one for his first car. Interior is bland, but that's pretty much typical, as you said. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallpancake Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 ah, as long as I can dump the clutch I'll be happy. edit: Heres a pic of my old Ranger....compare it to new interior above: I think I'll manage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Six CD changer isn't over the top. My mom's Escape came with one and I love it. Or I did. It's fucked up now. No one knows what happened, but it won't load or eject cds anymore. But when it was working I'd load every slot with a CD. Fuck yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbanoutlaw Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 3.0? Should get good mileage, & most of them had 4.0 V-6s. There's a few running around here in the midwest, they look pretty good w/ a couple inches of lift & the right tires. The biggest thing I like about the newer Rangers (besides being a Ford truck) is the available "Flex-Fuel" option, meaning they're set up from the factory to burn E-85, cut dependency on oil & burns cleaner. Look for a small square emblem w/ a leaf on it on Flex Fuel models. I'd drive it. Oh, & who says 6 CD is too much? My '96 tracker has 2 Sony 10-disc CD changers.

Thomas. Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 The Truck looks sweet. It would look good in black (Exterior). The interior looks good too. I think that is a good car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
