well ladies and gentlemen i was doing my usuall craigslist browsin yesterday and an across a 2001 ranger http://wichitafalls.craigslist.org/cto/1800251550.html that caught my eye and so i gave him a call, and threw my 94 f150 out as an offer on it, he hesitantly said no and i figured that was all. he called back this morning asking a couple questions and now im gonna let him look at it later this week n im gna check out his ranger. like the title said im not much of a ranger kinda guy but this one for some odd reason is growin on me, we might be in for a trade

Beyond the BL and the Messican add ons, doesn't look too bad.

/\ /\ Agreed...

if i get it, ill probably sell that light rack and get like a chrome roll bar for those lights if i keep the lights...itd be a good daily driver n i think it looks sharp...the only limiting factor on me buying it would be getting the oklahoma plates transferred to texas plates and title wich can be a hefty penny, cuz u gotta pay oklahoma,and texas sales tax on the appraised value and then get it tagged...that could mean anywhere from 500-1000$. and im thinkin i see a 5.0 in its future

I'm pretty sure you only have to pay sales tax in one state- not two. I'm also pretty sure a 5.0 ain't happening- that's an OBDII truck (post 1996). With enough money, anything's possible- but by the time you get the computer reprogrammed to do everything it's supposed to without glitches, a new F150 will seem cheap by comparison.

Clutch, slave, and tranny replaced at 60,000 miles? Things been drug off-road like a redheaded stepchild. Wouldn't touch it with your 10' pole. Nick's going through this with his Ranger. It's a sturdy little truck- unless you beat on it. Like anything else, that can get really expensive.

im gonna go check it out tomorro n really give it a good look over inside and out. if its had the **** kicked outa it idk if im gonna take it. he said it was his sons truck n his son is overseasn told him to sell it and that his son couldnt drive a 5speed to save his life. and i never thought about too deeply on the 5.0 idea and you make a good point, if i play with it it might just b a 4.0 or play with the 3.0 orr mayyyybe find a mustang n pull the 4.6

doesn't the edge only come in 2wd...?

Not a bad looking truck

Why didn't they raise the rear bumper?

Needs to lose the thing behind the cab
