I have a 1992 Ford Ranger XLT 3.0 that I bought in December of 1994 when I was in the Navy. I needed something that was going to get better gas mileage than the 13mpg I was getting on the highway with my 87 Olds 442. (I still miss that car, though!). Sam (my Ranger) only had 15,035 miles on her when I got her. She's given me very little trouble, blowing out the rear main seal and the front pump seal within a few days of each other when I was on the highway over 1000 miles from home notwithstanding. She's only had one brake job on the rear since new and two on the front and she's still going strong. She has been all over the country, driving from central IL to OH and MI the first week I had her. I then drove her down to Millington, TN, where I was stationed in the Navy at the time. We then drove to San Diego, CA and from there up to San Francisco. We made a few trips back and forth between SD and SF, and then we moved up to Bremerton, WA. The whole time I was in San Francisco, we never went over the Golden Gate, but when we left Frisco for the last time, we went UNDER it! Figure that one out. We drove around the Seattle area for almost five years before we headed back to Central IL. And here we are 10 years later. She is almsot 20 years old now, and STILL only has about 165,000 miles!
She's a little dirty in this pic, but she still looks good for a truck that is almost 20 years old.
