My New Truck!

[PowerBass]

as some may know I just got a new(used)truck. A 2000 Ranger XLT 4x4 Offroad Package.

just keep in mind, 4x4 does NOT mean you can go anywhere, trust me, lol.

Congrats, that'll do most everything you need it to. Don't forget to fill the bed up with snow in the winter LOL.

I had a 94 with the 4.0 v6 in 2WD extended cab. I got stuck all of the time, too much power with no weight on the rear end. I wouldn't mind getting another one, just 4x4 next time.

I wish i had had that sucker last weekend, woulda saved me 3 hours of fishing, and 125$!

[WTL]

You know the Ranger is just about as solid a truck as you can get. Not big but dependable and good at what it does.

[PowerBass]

Yea she has alot of power, and a nice tight steering(able to make sharp turns.)

I see a Pro-comp 3", Cold air intake, Magnaflow and some BFG MT's.

Just jokin' with you, congrats on the wheels. Take care of it, keep that oil changed and filters clean and your kids will be driving it.

[zooker]

for added milage a k&n drop in cold air intake and a new mass air sensor called the vortex will get you about 5-10 miles per tank extra.think of it as buy 9 tanks and getting the 10th free..

I was thinking about the KN filter. Zook, these trucks have enough guts to tow a glass bass rig?

[zooker]

i tow my stratos with one. with a 3.0 2 wheel drive. i have towed a 17-6 procraft with a 115 merc. hell i towed a 82 mustang 52 miles with a 2.0 4 banger. -88 model-
straight drive -manual tranny's- normally have less towing capacity than auto tranny's. the key to towing is the tranny cooler make sure it has one. my 05 has the towing package reese hitch and tranny cooler. for your lights on the boat trailer -not sure what kind tracker uses- but a 4 wire harness hook up is just under your bumper in the main wiring harness. look under the hitch area you will see a small box in the black corragated wiring line open this box direct plug in done right -best dam idea i have ever seen in a wiring set up- i use a pig tail flat 4 on each end plug straight in.. no messing with splicing into anything..

Zook,
I hooked her up to my tracker about an hour ago to see how it looks. Works perfect! I gotta look for a tranny cooler tommorow, it is too dark now.

if you have one it will be right in front of the radiator but about 1/4 of the size.

[zooker]

yeah but ford likes to move them around look top driver side of the radiator it should be small about a 5"x12" cooler. a/c cooler are almost the size of the radiator. look on the front axle my 2000 ranger -the gold truck- and the 92 ranger's had it here..
