What Owners are Saying About the 2002 Ford Ranger Regular Cab

"Just a great little truck"

"If you need a light duty truck this is the one for you. 1. Rides like a farm wagon (check). But who cares, its a truck. 2. No one thinks you are cool in it (check). But who cares, you feel cool in it. 3. Not going to set any land speed records (check). But who buys a truck for that anyway. 4. This truck will not solve any manliness problems you may suffer from. But who cares that is not what its for. If you need something for dump runs, new appliances and light hauling this is a great little truck."

"great work truck"

"3rd ranger I have owned. Bought this one new, fall of 03 with 127 miles on it. All good until 2019 when I driver coming toward me fell sleep behind the wheel and ran into my drivers side rear wheel. Dented the bed and broke the leaf spring and bent the rear bumper. Replaced the leaf spring and shocks and fixed the bed and bumper. Good as new, did not bend the frame. 16 years old and only thing I had to fix was a small evap leak on the tank seal. Had to tighten a little. Hauled whatever I wanted, pulled bushes out of ground. Drove through ice and snow, no problem. Drove great for a 2wd. Body has no rust, paint still looks good as new."

"Great reliable vehicle, awesome experience"

"Great reliable vehicle, has lots of character to keep a huge grin on your face every time you drive. Especially when you are passing newer vehicles with ease. Low problematic, had it for about 8 years now, love it."
