It's now 9 days after my initial post.
The owner, still out of the country, hasn't responded to any communications from her agent, the gas station's new owner.

I spotted a cherry 2005 Ford Ranger FX4 Extended Cab whilst strolling this Sunday evening just passed.

Original owner, LOW (<48K) mileage, new tires, newish shocks, snapped vinyl landau cover and bed liner from new. "Clean with records", as we used to say, wouldn't do this truck justice.

It's 46 hours later and it's ours. UNBELIEVABLE that I knowingly bought something with a 4.0L V6.

THANK YOU for all the XC-90 input. Though a little cargo capacity (and familiarity with the P2 platform) had me real interested, the occasional need for more capacity and this Ranger's condition made me go "sissy pickup".

I'd love to get a build sheet.

THOUGHT: Darn huge tires for a wee pickup if you ask me. At least they're not 17".

No tellin' how far down the road a seasoned wee wagon takes us.

IRONY: I'll soon be pulling the Alumicraft's trailer with the V70. Gotta laugh!
