When did CHEVY start offering a TRUCK [sm=gears.gif]

 

Don't get fooled, its an Isuzu! Just go look at them, you'll see [&:]

Is it the 4.6 HO
Kelly blue book say for the 4.6 HO, club cab. $3,900 thats without A/C and 4x4. So that get you a tad over 4K. 6.9K just too much money. Why would you get rid of the Ranger for another small truck? If I was getting rid of mine, I'd be looking at full size Ford, Chevy, or Dodge, maybe even Toyota or Nissan, in that order. (thats just me)
I know people like them imports, but my take is that they're over priced (used ones). They need to be so that when they do go, it might be worth saving[:-].

 

well im not gettin rid of my ranger!! but i just wnat something a little more dependable, and newer. and i ahve alredy jst spent about $ in the last month in a half on a tune up, fuel pump, and new master cylinder. so hopfully i wont have any more problems.

 

Well The way I see it you either make payments Monthly to the Bank, For a new'er Truck , Our your spend a bunch less every Month at the Parts house ,,,, Whats thats ole song , One way or the other---- they going to get'a -U,,, Of course you have that time for months where all you do is put gas in her an get a smelly THINGY once in awhile for it ,,, LOL

 

Keep the ranger (even thoe this place is biased) i have had some buddies that have had way more problems with the import trucks and they have half the miles and don't get abused half as much as my truck does....

 

Sorry man, I agree with them. One of my buddies has a GMC Sonoma and it aint worth crap. I have a 2005 Ranger that I would race him in reverse with. If you look around, you'll notice alot more old Rangers than Sonomas. Rangers just hold up better (if you treat them right). I would say keep the Ranger. A used GMC aint worth that much.

 

my ranger's going on 8 years now and all i've done is basic tune up and maintenance work. spark plugs, shocks, and oil just doesn't add up to $300 every month.
