2006 Ford Ranger Extended Cab Sport

Summary:
I've only had this car for a few days but I've already put close to 850 miles on it. This thing is a BEAST. I've owned a Ford Escort and a Dodge Intrepid in the past and every time I've increased in engine size. This car is by FAR the best I've used. The acceleration is NOTHING like my dad's F-150....I can go from dead stop to 75 miles per hour in no time without spinning my rear tires at all. I don't know what it is but I've fallen in love. The interior cab is nearly silent and the stereo system is to die for.

I would recommend this car for any use. I compared mine with my dad's and it's roughly 6-8 inches shorter in length and only about an inch or two shorter in height. The tires are the same size and the only difference is that my dad's is an extended cab F-150.

My first tank averaged close to 26 miles per gallon. WAY over the list estimate. (95% highway miles)

Can't comment on the hauling power as I haven't needed to haul anything yet though from what I can tell, it should have no problems doing so.

Strengths:
Fuel economy, strength, comfort, stereo.

Weaknesses:
Passenger room. I list this as a weakness but if you're getting a Ranger you should know already that you're not going to have a lot of passenger room. I can fit one passenger and 2 in the back because of the extended cab but if I were one of the two in the back I'd want to be only there for an hour or two max.
