I had the 4x4 Ranger SC with the 4.0 V6 4spd, I used it to tow my 13'
Whaler with no problems but all in all it was a total POS. I ended up in
lemon (arbitration) law court with only 9000 miles on it. The judgement
went in my favor, so I took the money and bought a Chebby Silverado.

FWIW. I'd be leery of any salesman that said a brand new vehicle needed
a tuneup. UD
