Why the 2011 Ford Ranger?

Powertrain performance

For the light weight of this vehicle, the engine performs admirably. With plenty of low end torque and a nice little HP powerband around 5000rpm, it works very well.

Dealer practices

The dealership I went to, Treadwell Ford, treated me like a customer and not a sales victim. The personnel were respectful and did not try to force a sale down the throat of this owner.

Handling

The cornering ability is somehow about the same as my former 2003 Ranger Edge which had both front AND rear sway bars. This 2011 has only front yet is as stable cornering and even better with less bed hop.

Controls and instruments

There are not many controls but every one of them is within easy reach and are labeled clearly.

Discounts & incentives

Ford and Treadwell had numerous discounts available. I was able to utilize a combination to get my vehicle at around 9k off of the sticker price.

Why Not the 2011 Ford Ranger?

Fuel economy

Could be better. Right now getting a nudge over 20mpg each tank, which is somewhat expected but could still be better.

Quietness

Not exactly the quietest cabin. Too much wind noise and not enough engine noise.
