Small Trucks

They are good trucks but I would get a newer one than that. People tend to beat the piss out of them and don't maintain them.

I had an 02 Chevy s10. It was 4 cylinder and I wish I'd gotten to the v6. The gas mileage wasn't anything impressive but it seriously lacked power.

4 cylinder rangers get like low-mid 20s mpg and are pretty reliable. 3.0 v6 gets high teen mpg, makes no power, but will last to the heat death of the universe. 4.0 v6 makes some power and same mpg. I have a 2000 rwd 5 speed 3.0, I'll be happy to answer any questions.

seconding this

2.2 LN2 motor is gutless.

4.3 has good power though, the S10/15 is also a popular candidate for V8/small diesel swaps.

Looked at any imports? a 2wd Frontier can be had cheap and the 24DE motor makes good power for a 4cyl.

JUST BUY THE FUCKING TRUCK DAVE

I got you...

Get a Mazda repu

Nissan Hardbody is the GOAT

I have a 2011 4.0 ranger. It's a great truck. Currently at 215k miles. I've replaced thermostat housing, water pump, brake booster, and had to take the charcoal cannister off and get rid of the clumping. But other than that it's just needed regular maintenance.

Also I get low 20s to high teens MPG, depeding on how I'm driving. And I've used it to tow cars before. It's got good torque.

If that guy knows his shit that could be an awesome buy. I see he didn't mention ball joints so I'd look into those.
