BANG (AND LOTS OF IT) FOR THE BUCK

There's nothing complicated about the 2005 Ford Ranger -- just a lot of truck for not a lot of money. That year's model saw a complete shocks-to-springs overhaul, making it an even greater value. (The Ranger XL star, for example, came in under $15 thousand with a full 2.3-liter engine, five-speed manual transmission, 2WD Regular Cab, 15-inch steel wheels.)
No wonder so many off-road types still check out the 2005 Ford Ranger. You can too, with all the automotive scoop you can shake a shift-stick at, from photos and specs to reviews and price info. There's even some financing scoop, for the wallet-conscious crowd that made this monster so popular in the first place.
