We had downsized to one vehicle since we had moved here. We were doing very well with just the CRV but, I've had my eye out for a beater truck for a while now. I don't need a truck, I just want one. Well, I found a 2000 Ford Ranger. A 92 year old gentleman had it and had owned it for 2 years. He said that he bought from an old guy in Beaumont. Hahaha He's 92 and bought it from an old guy. He was a fine old fellow and could have easily passed for 75, he was sharp as a tack.
Anyway, the previous owner had come down with Alzheimers and the truck had sat for about 3 years before he sold it to my seller. It's got the 3.0 V6, auto, A/C, and that's about it, with 76K actual miles. No tire pressure monitors, no lane departure warnings, no back up camera. And, it has roll up/down windows! I'd almost forgotten how to use a window crank. I think it will be a pretty good old truck to beat around in.
