Ranger Danger!

Don't be a stranger to this Ford Ranger. Big, bad and blue, this mini-monster truck is guaranteed to turn heads wherever you go.

Introduced in 1983 as a standalone compact truck after being a package for the Fords full-size truck, the first-generation ranger ran until 1988. Offered with a variety of 4 and 6-cylinder engines throughout its life, the Ranger was a true workhorse. Found everywhere from busy city centers to rural farms and ranches, there was hardly a task the Ranger couldn't tackle. (To best assess the quality of the paint and trim finishes, please be sure to view the close-up photographs of the car in the accompanying gallery.)

Exterior: This Ranger immediately stands out. Sitting on a massive lift and tires this little truck simply towers above pretty much anything else in traffic. Massive Mickey Thompson tires ensure you can take on any obstacle. Finished in a beautiful light blue, both front and rear bumpers have been color matched. Cab sun visor, chrome roll bar and large, high mounted spotlights complete the aggressive look. All lights are functional and free of cracks, and all glass is clear with no blemishes.

Interior: Largely stock, the interior on this Ranger is clean and free of damage and reflects the care bestowed by a long-term owner. Comfortable bucket seats feature power lumber adjustments. An aftermarket stereo head unit adds CD compatibility and a removable face plate. Blue carpet and door cars are clean and present well. Door locks and window controls are manually controlled. Rear window has a split opening window. (To best assess the quality of the paint and trim finishes, please be sure to view the close-up photographs of the car in the accompanying gallery.)

Mechanical: This Ranger features is optioned exactly the way you would want it to be. 2.9L V-6, 5-speed manual transmission and 4-wheel drive make it a blast to drive. Lifted right with a Pro Comp lift kit featuring shocks, lift blocks and color matched sway bars and end links. Drive shafts are also color-matched and connected to beefy axles. Under the hood things are mostly stock, with blue wiring and hose covers.
