WTB: Ford Ranger / Mazda B Series

[TorinoCobra070]

Well I sold my Bronco 2.5 years ago and I really miss DD'ing a truck. However, I do not miss the gas mileage of a Bronco.

So, here is what I'm looking for (to be used as my new daily driver):

Price range is $3,000-$4,000

any year / motor (prefer the 3.0 or 4.0) / transmission - Ranger or B series as long as it meets the following requirements (no exceptions):

extended cab

4x4

current VA inspection

clean title


Not interested in anything that "needs work" or is "almost ready to pass inspection". I have found a few I really like already but they keep getting sold before I even get a shot at them, so any leads are appreciated.

Thanks :thumbup: :dunno:

Ew step bodies. It's like taking a truck... and taking away the usefulness for no reason.

It is already a small truck with a small bed... It really isn't that useful to begin with. Not seeing the problem lol

You lose bedspace and good luck finding a toolbox or cap.

If it doesn't bother you, then getting a stepside is a good idea because they're not usually that sought-after. I personally hate them if you couldn't tell.

There's a ranger in charles town wv sitting on the side of the road for sale. It's not extended cab, says on the windows 4 cyl 5 speed, but not sure if 4x4. If you want more details let me know and I will stop the next time I am driving by there

saw a funky gold looking mazda extended cab on a back road drive over the weekend, it was either on 613 or Briery Branch Rd. if you feel like trying to track it down.

From what I've seen so far almost all, if not all, 4cyl's seem to be 2wd. Especially the very basic ones, 4cyl, regular cab, 5-speed. I'd be very surprised if its 4x4.

I know the color you're talking about. I think I could deal with that. I may have to track it down later this week or this evening. Thanks.

2wd and needs work :vomit:




Thanks for the responses guys. All the leads I've chased down so far have either been sold, over-priced for what they are, or out of my price range. I really need to get another DD ASAP so I'm considering increasing my price range even though I don't want to.
