- 99 Ranger 2.5
In a few weeks i will be going on a cross continent road trim from florida to alaska. Unfortunately My 300,000 mile explorer just has to many problems and im in the market for a new ride.
Tomorrow im going to look at a 96 2.3 5speed ranger reg cab with 150,000 miles. How reliable are these drive trains. This will be my first OHC motor i have ever owned and the fact that it has a timing belt scares me. Is the 2.3 powerful enough to pull the ranger and about 500lbs of gear through the mountains and drive at highway speeds for long amounts of time?
Any input would be greatly appreciated
