Always glad to help. My wife is has had a BMW since, well... since i do not want to give a hint to her age i will simply say she has had Bimmers since she was 20. From what i have learned through research, asking around, and surfing the web (see my previous post with topic as link) is that the Ranger is their 'service' truck. It is not an F-series so you can't haul a nice enclosed 3000 lbs 18 foot trailer with a race car inside (unfortunately), though if you get the 4L German-made engine and 4.10 LSD tranny it is a good setup.

Guess it all really depends on HOW MUCH trust you need. For me, the old Honda Del Sol was not cutting it up here in Live Freeze & Die. He)), the Honda could not even make it up our DRIVEWAY last winter, but to be fair to the Honda the driveway is about 1/2-mile long and elevates about 800 with varying steep sections. Still, a 4x4 comes in VERY handy even during the summer and (heh heh) mud season (heh heh).

The first week i had the truck i took it to a section of our property that is semi-cleared, semi-rough terrain and went at it in 4x4 mode :) Hey, it;s a 4x4 truck with good ground clearance :)

Of course since then the truck has hauled TONS and TONS of brick, hardpack to repair the driveway, many trips totalling four chords of wood... Did i mention it is a truck.

So yeah, guess i love the Ranger. FYI: My other car is the exact opposite, and after we get done lowering it to be a total of about 3 inches off the ground i may try driving under a parked 18-wheeler with it :)

Sorry for the run on... guess i love vehicles :)
