Author's Review
We bought the 1999 Ford Ranger for our daughter. She was headed off to college and needed reliable, safe, and affordable transportation. We haven't had one misgiving since purchasing it over a year ago.
My husband liked the idea of a vehicle with a full body frame. I like the idea of the dual airbags. The 4 cylinder engine doesn't use up excessive amounts of gasoline, making it a vehicle she can afford to drive.
The cab is small, but that's okay with us, too. This ensures she won't have loads of passengers with her. We bought the basic model, which included only a cassette player, radio, but no air conditioning. (Hey, we were buying her a vehicle, what more could she ask for?)
My husband likes the idea that with a 4-cylinder, she doesn't get a great deal of pick up when accelerating. I just like the idea that it starts every time she turns the ignition, whether in the heat of summer or sub-zero winter temperatures.
The truck bed has come in handy, especially when she moved all of her belongings away to go to college.
We purchased the Ranger with Ford's 0.9% financing. With a little homework we discovered that we actually saved money buying her a brand new Ranger, rather than the 1996 we had first considered.
