My first truck - Ford Ranger Forum

Well finally got a truck!It's a 1996 candy apple red/grey cloth interior 4.0 V-6 auto XLT Supercab Ranger with 88,000mi on it.It's not 4 wheel drive though.The interior is very clean and it has power everything.The engine was steam cleaned and looks great.Tires are like new.Good brakes and suspension.The body is in good shape except the clear coat is peeling and theres a small rust spot with a hole on the rear bed drivers side.I payed $4000 and the retail blue book is $5100.I want to do a K&N air intake,JBA headers,custom 3 inch dual exhuast no cats and Borla mufflers,and of course a paint job.Let me know what you think.

Welcome to the site! Nice clean truck. I like it!

Are you going to keep it the same color?

Your engine is looking pretty clean as well. Must have been well maintained!
