I have a chance to buy a 2005 ford ranger extented cab 4x4 with only 40,000 k on it .
Just wondering what kind of fuel milage can get .
Also what would it be worth.

That's a solid truck. If you get a deal buy it.

Mine was a 2001, but with the 4 liter engine , and five speed manual transmission, I got 23-24 mpg on average, on the highway. Hopefully the 2005s were a lot more reliable than the 2001, as mine was in the shop for a rear crank seal, both hubs, a solenoid that stopped engaging the front axle, release bearing, a door lock that failed forcing me to get in an out from the passenger side, and gauges that failed, all within 100,000km.

Yeah but the Cigarette lighter worked, right?

My baby bro and I had an extended cab with the long box with an "English" 2 litre 4 cylinder standard transmission.

You could beat it off the line on while walking on crutches, but it was cheap and ran for ever.

But if Quality is job one, why did it turn out to be a big pile of #2???

I have a 2003 ext cab ranger 4x4 with 4.0L and auto trans... has been very reliable for the 30,000 km I have put on it. Gets 14L / 100 all day long. My 1/2 ton Chevy gets better mileage, but its not as fun as a little ranger.

I've got a 2011 4.0L. FX4 so it's got the lower (4:10) axles and an automatic. 118K on it and haven't had any trouble with it. I get 22mpg around town and 24-25mpg on the highway not loaded. If i'm towing the boat or loaded up I get around 18mpg. Not sure as to the value of the the one you're looking at but, if you can get a good deal on the truck buy it, they're great trucks!

Don’t expect great mpg cause it’s small. Most half tons of that era could achieve similar mpg and modern half tons use far less. The ranger was one of the reasons the quarter ton truck segment collapsed and is only recently recovering. Despite this I’ve owned several and loved them all. There’s something purely mechanical feeling about a ranger that you don’t really find in vehicles these days. I used to love rowing through the gears but barely accelerating at all with the 4cyl and 3.slow or accelerating at a moderate pace in the 4.0 motors. The new ranger has all the character of a photocopier in comparison.

I’ve got a 2011, lucky to get 450/tank. Time to get rid of it though, getting too beat up on the farm.

Had a 96 ranger xlt automatic and routinely got 18-19us mpg. Great little trucks! I was interested in the new ones but got a good deal on a new f150 so went that route. If I was looking for a truck and a ranger came along as the op described I would not hesitate to drop the hammer and go home with it! Sold my 96 with over 300000 miles and only had to replace an alternator and fuel pump outside of tires shocks plugs wires etc...

I had a 2001 with a 2.9 in it and a 2011 with a 4.0l both were terrible on gas, actually traded the 2011 on a 2013 Chev half ton that got way better mileage with a 5.3. I had a 6x10 utility trailer for my quad, when I pulled it with the Ranger I couldn't make it from Smoky Lake to Elinor, had to go to LLB to get fuel to get home.

I had a 2008 with that engine.
Then I traded it for the 2011 F-150 with the 5.0L V8 and I got pretty much the same mileage as the Ranger.

And that was mostly highway with the Ranger, I was lucky to get 450Km at tank.

Whether it was the FX4 package and 4 :10 gearing that worsened the mileage, I don’t know.
Still had the most fun with it.
Shorter wheelbase than the F-150, and I put it places I couldn’t put the bigger truck.

Still a great little truck, I’d have it today if I didn’t outgrow it.

Ran a 3.0L 2wd, 5 speed for eight years, milage sucked might get about 450 475km to a 70 liter tank on the highway

Worked at a Ford dealership for years, seemed like fairly decent little trucks but the F150 often got better mileage. I'd be surprised if it topped 20 mpg if it's got a 4.0L.

I have a 2008 it get about the same for the size there not a truck for mileage

[aardvaark]

I’ve got an 09 5 speed 4.0L. Mileage is about 22-24 mpg on the hiway. With a canopy. Only trouble I’ve had at 184,000 km is the rear axle seals started to weep. Cost me about $100 in parts n oil (my own labour) and it’s good again.

Not really great on fuel but I love the size. I had a Dakota and ran it up to half a million km. Loved that truck too.

I have a 2003 XLT

Get around 13L/100kms. I have got about 260 000 on it now and other then a couple burnt out lights in the dash there is nothing wrong with it. I have done all the regular maintenance, ball joints, front brakes, 3 sets of tires and that's about it. Starting to get some rust now.

Probably bad in the standard setup to worse with the off-road oriented FX4's with their 4.10 gearing. I used to work with a guy who went from a FX4 ranger to a newer Ram, and he said the mileage was about 30% better in the Ram. That's the problem with those old V-6s. They are stout, durable engines, but they are thirsty.
