I love my Ranger. It's a standard cab 2007 XLT in grey. The gas mileage is great. I have had it for 1 1/2 years now with 0 problems. I opted for the 4 cyl. with an automatic transmission and with gas prices the way they are I could not be happier. I have done some minor upgrades such as tinting the windows, adding an ARE tonneau cover, and upgrading the plain wheels to American Racing AR-23 wheels which really make it look slick. Please don't get me wrong the wheels are the same size as the orginals not the goofy looking comic wheels you see on some vehicles. I drive like I am going to the beach, everywhere, and I think if all of us would slow down and drive carefully it would send a message to the oil gods. On that note let me say that doing the speed limit, gradual acceleration, and gradual stops saves alot of gas, reduces the wear and tear on your vehicle, and drastically reduces your accident chances and reduces your aggivation with your commute. Put some tunes on and cruise to the "beach". Your wallet and your blood pressure will thank you. Its the trip not the destination.

Have 2005 "Edge" 4x2 version w/3.0 liter V-6, 5 sp. auto. Nice little truck, seems very durable, just the right size for routine transportation and light hauling. Very good handling, adequate power, Surprisingly nice-sounding base radio/CD. Surprisingly quiet on the freeway. Edge styling is not bad. Extended cab is very roomy for a compact pickup. Gas mileage not great. Ride a bit stiff and choppy but of course it is a truck. A perfect household utility vehicle to own!

this maybe the best truck ever built. they are strong long lasting this is my 3rd ranger with my last one was a 2000 xlt wit 375000 and still runs like new now i am on a 2008 wow best truck ever

This truck is great good mpg best in class mpg good lookin truck they last forever nothing i can say bad about it there tough and there great for everyday use.

This truck is great it can't get any better when it comes to small trucks i had a 1992 ranger with 300,000 miles on it and i just got a new 2008 ranger it's a great truck i don't understand why some people talk bad about this truck because it's just great little truck.import trucks are junk

Coming back from L.A. where I bought it the ride was nice and the cab is real roomy and there is room to stretch out and the passenger can lean back and nap if they like. The stereo sounds great and very crisp. I don't know what the last guy was having a problem with but I think he's wrong. I did find one thing coming down the hill 90 was it rev limiter was hit and there was no more. But the speed limit is way below that so not to worry. Very nice truck!!

It's a great little truck, but the only real issues I have is that the engine isn't as responsive as it could be (I know it's a truck). Also for a small truck it eats gas ... 17mpg average with an average speed of 45mph. As far as the "trucky-ness" goes, it's got a good amount of space in the bed, and acts like you'd expect a truck to. It's fun to drive corners like a champ suprisingly. All in all, it's a simple truck that's a modest addition to the Ford Ranger family.

Sidenote: They do make 2008 models capable of 21 mpg avg.

I traded in my import p.u. for this one because I wanted to drive american. Never again will I make that mistake again. This is the worst truck I have ever owned. Everything about this truck is cheap, things break, it has no power. My old 1992 4cyl import pu seems to have more power than this piece of trash, don't be fooled ford still can't make a good pu.
