Paul (pwd) and others told me to look for a 4L, if I am going to buy a Ford Ranger. Years ago, I found a 3L that suited me (I was in Spokane with a broken 911, needing a haul vehicle and the price was right). That truck was a good one, but without much power. I finally got rid of it and found a newer one, with the 4L engine.
Guys, if you're gonna get a Ford Ranger pickup and you want a six-cylinder......do yourself a favor. Find a 4L. This thing is WAY WAY more fun to drive. Thing has enough power to oversteer. It's almost as much fun to drive as my 911.
Paul was right. At least, about this topic.
