A guy that I worked with bought an old 4WD Ford Ranger, 2.3L 4cyl with a 5spd manual transmission for an auction. It was an old Forest service pickup. He paid $500 for it. He needed a reliable little pickup as a daily driver to get him to work and home. He had it for 3 years. His commute was 100 miles per day round trip. So in 3 years he put 72K miles on his $500 pickup. When he bought it had around 300K miles on it. I was surprised that he bent a rod at less than 500K miles, but then again it was an old Ranger Service truck. My wife and I had 2 Ranger’s with the 2.3L engine. The first one was going strong at 500K miles but my wife didn’t have it in 4WD and hit a patch of ice and flipped it in a ditch and totaled it. The 2nd one lasted for 700K miles. Our 3rd Ranger had a 3.0L V6 and it started burning a LOT of oil at only 80K miles. Our current 2011 Ranger XLT super cab 4WD has the 4.0L V6, tow pkg, limited slip differential, 5spd automatic transmission. It has only 36K miles. It’s mainly used for work around our property.

I got that truck as an '86. Darn good truck if you can find parts. Wish I could find them for your price, but my Ranger has the OG glass headlights. Glass headlights are bright. Calling it before we get going, the Ranger is going to do what Rangers do, and work just to spite the opposition. It also might not make 60. I don't have overdrive, so my top isn't the 75 of the highway. Edit: He got to 60 pretty dang quick. If he had drivin it more he would have learned the shifting better and won. Also, if he had the 2.9 V6 he would have won.

Ranger wins because you can haul a treadmill

More of these kinds of torture tests. I was delivering packages for Amazon in a 293k miles 96 Lexus until I lost all compression in cylinder one. Was gonna find an engine since they are 400 bucks in good shape all day long. But then it got mildly rear ended and I don’t have space for multiple eye sore cars. I have a couple videos up of it still doing work when it lost all compression in cylinder one

Those Ford 2.3L Lima engines, I've had lots. The big problem I had with them was connecting rod bearings. You'll probably never encounter the problem on a short test like that. Every time one went to scrap it was because of a rod bearing. Otherwise, it's one of my favorite 4 cyl engines.
