Miles Overview
The 2005 Ranger is Ford's compact pickup, a smaller, simpler alternative to the full-size F-150. It's nimble and easy to park, though the turning radius is wide enough that you'll often need a two-point turn in tight spots. The regular cab is snug, with a middle seat that's really only for occasional use; the extended cab adds useful space behind the front seats. Owners report these trucks running well past 100,000 miles with just routine maintenance, though a few mention occasional door handle or A/C issues. A 4.0L V6 and four-wheel drive set the XLT apart from the base XL, which makes do with the smaller engine and rear drive. The 207 horsepower from the 4.0L V6 gives the Ranger real pulling power, and the automatic transmission makes it easy to manage off-road or in traffic. The XLT's optional off-road package adds skid plates and upgraded shocks, which is worth it if you plan to leave the pavement.
