"I bought this truck as a left-over, and it had also been a demo model, so I got a good deal on it. It has never broken down. I learned to drive a stick on an '86 B2200, and I owned a '97 B2300 before this one. They have all been great little trucks. The only bad thing is that it's not 4WD. My mechanic has never seen a car with a better/hotter heater. I'm sorry that these and the Rangers aren't made any more."

undervalued pickup

By rik on Tuesday, July 24, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 108,888

Pros: "pretty looking solid built truck"

Cons: "with 19 mpg could be better"

"This truck is a great compact truck. With same specs as the ranger and a more beautiful exterior I don't understand why the ranger sells for more money. I would choose my baby b3000 4x4 any day over the less attractive ford ranger."

"My dad bought the truck used but the previous owner only had a few months. He loved it the whole time and used it a lot. It has done heavy hauling and the transmission survived years of backing a camper up a steep driveway repeatetly as he tried to fit in in the small garage. It has always gotten great gas mileage and has only had one major repair. the steering arm bent when the truck went way too fast over a huge pothole. i learned stick on it and now drive it. I love it."

"Living in a townhouse, this truck is all I need for home needs. It'll carry or tow 1,400 lbs. I use it to commute to work, 25 miles each way with over 3 dozen traffic lights. This truck gives me 27 mpg on my commute. Its a base model, 4 cyl, manual shift with a/c. Its not refined, but its reliable."
