[QUOTE="ladycrofter, post: 9214089, member: 616"] Better think about rust too. I bought a new Ranger in 2005, didn't drive it that much and thought it would last forever. Had to scrap it at 110,000 miles because it was literally falling apart. Cable ties and screws holding things on. The engine would have gone another hundred thousand at least, it was like new, but the body was crap. This truck was under-sealed from day one and regularly every few years thereafter. The spare tire fell out the bottom, hanger rusted through, and bounced when I was driving at 60 mph. Would have killed someone if there had been a car behind me. Drove home and phoned the scrappie. I certainly doubt the quality of their steel has improved since then, more likely going the other way. It's a shame. I have a Mitsubishi now and I absolutely hate the f*****. [/QUOTE]
