Mine had 240k before it reached its last leg.

My 2011 Ranger's automatic transmission broke last summer.  Then I learned that 2009-11 Rangers with 2.3 engine and auto tranny tended to break at about 150k.  Mine broke at 163+, and all those broken transmissions made replacements rarer than hen's teeth, with a huge price attached.  Sold it to someone who wanted the engine (which still ran just fine).  Would love to find another, as I've driven the little trucks since 1994.  5-speed preferred.

Forecast here has revised the 60-70% PoPs to 40%.  Maybe we get the grass wet.

Yup, misery mist started around noon, lasted all afternoon until 5 when we had a steady light rain…So much for mowing the lawn this weekend

Prettymuch solid cloud cover over southern half of New England, but the sinking air produced a ribbon of clearing north of the mountains: https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G19&sector=ne&band=01&length=36&dim=1

Blows. At my great niece birthday party. Luckily much of then day was dry. Had a brief sprinkle around 2:45-3 but had been dry. Despite this being super light everything is wet. At least it’s not enough to stop the fire from going

I'm its first and only owner, I bought it new in early 2003 from a Ford dealership in Brookfield Mass, they had two 2002s left on the lot and I picked it up for $13,900.  It has just under 87k and I put less than 1,000 miles a year on it.  it's never been back to a Ford dealer

3L V6, automatic, posi rear end, 7-foot bed, AC, single CD player, manual windows and door locks.  The original factory steel wheels rusted out 10 years ago.  The truck does have rust but I don't drive it in the winter and I don't drive it in the rain if I don't need to, and I usually don't.  It lives 98% of the time under a tarp in my back yard, where the mice can enjoy it to it's fullest

I owned one ford. It was the previous generation ranger. Bought it cheap but only lasted a couple of year as a "go to the dump" truck. Back the early 'ots.
