I've had three Rangers. For their size I think they were one of the best trucks made. I towed a car trailer loaded with the John Deere tractor with one of them. I don't recommend it and wouldn't drive it very far but it handled it ok for the three or four miles I had to tow it. Best one I had was a "Level Three" or something like that. Heavier suspension and a higher tow rating. |

Wasn't the Courier a Mitsubishi? I know the original Chevy s-10 was a glorified Isuzu I think so. My old S-10 was an Isuzu. But GM owns a bunch of Isuzu. My 89 Aerostar was partly Mitsubishi. At least the crap Trany. |

Is that how far you've regressed? |
