need a truck

Wanting to spend 4000 max probably. I want a 4wd definitely, and have a bench seat in the back for friends and siblings. Thanks for all the help! Probably a ranger, bit ill look at f150s and maybe see I a Chevy truck would suit me too (sorry ford haha

rangers never had a rear bench. I'm sorry but at 18 years old you have no reason to be playing taxi cab driver with your friends. That's just asking for trouble

wasn't aware my mom had a profile on here. I've ridden in a ranger with rear seating so sorry.

haha, good job op. A lot of ppl forget they were 18 once. If $4k is your budget, unless you get supremely lucky, the only 150s you are going to find in that price range are going to be old, worn out, or both. You will get a newer less worn out ranger for the $$.

So, Need-a-truck, what part of the world are you looking for a truck in?

If you're looking to shuttle friends and family around a lot the Ranger might not meet your needs. Figure 2 small kids will fit in the back for short rides, or one adult. That being said, I was much the same during my highschool and college years, my Rangers were typically more reliable than many of my friends cars so I often drove and somebody had to sit in the jumpseat in the back.

The full sized extended cabs will offer a lot more room back there. Also, every other compact / midsized truck besides the Ranger is available as a crew cab. I've already mentioned the Tacoma and Frontier, but you can also find a crew cab S10, Colorado, or if you're desperate a Dakota. Just something to consider.

I still say a ranger is a good fit. My first truck was a 91 "Super" ranger. Extended Cab 4x4. It was an awesome first vehicle. I did go through manuals on it (4 tranny's total), but the rest of the truck was solid. Heck I sold it to my dad for the farm 15 years ago and it is till running to this day with over 800,000km's on it. Original motor!

The 86 Ranger I had was good. It would kill over sometimes, but hey....couldn't be too picky. lol "Upgraded" to an 02 Cavalier later on..haha. It worked for it's intended purpose..

I go for a f150 2wd if you are only spending 4K. You are going to get a truck with less miles and a few less things to go wrong. Just my 2 cents I live in a snow state and have only had 2wd trucks, but if thats what you have to have go for it. If you go for the ranger you could get a 4x4 there a little cheaper and they are good trucks.
