There are many deals out there. You just have to find them.

Even came with a rack, and a nice lockbox that I can sell.

240love · 10-24-2008, 08:00 AM

holly crap you def came up!! 23mpg?? WIN!!

Bubbles · 10-24-2008, 08:52 AM

Nice.

I'll give ya 6 grand for it if you deliver it.

Here's a serious question:

Which transmission is better for towing?

alindeman1989 · 10-24-2008, 10:37 AM

i have a sweet spot for f100s.

ESmorz · 10-29-2008, 03:33 PM

So my real question now is.

If I was to get a 4.0L Ranger with a Pre-Runner type lift. Would I still be able to tow shit?

I know about the drop down tow kits, but would the angle the truck is at make it incapable of towing?

silviaguy240 · 10-29-2008, 08:20 PM

nah, my buddy had a taco with ~10-12 inches of lift and 38's with a drop hitch and towed a enclosed with 3 dirt bikes no problem, it was supercharged though.

hmmm well I'd say that weighs more than a Corolla on a dolly?

Sorry to bump such an old thread but I was wondering if anyone has really towed with a full size Bronco. I'm in the market for one and I think I've found it but it has the '94 5.0 motor and what I'd really like is the 5.8 motor. Thoughts..? Thank you

Matej · 09-24-2009, 05:03 PM

Yes.
I have seen it.
With my own eyes.

Om1kron · 09-24-2009, 05:23 PM

a pick up truck with a loooong ass bed is shitty for towing if it doesn't have a big wheelbase, shit will squirrel all around on you.

HAWAII · 09-24-2009, 05:46 PM

i've seen a bronco being towed? it involves a bronco and a trailer does it count?

he was not road legal, mudd slinger.

jzepol1985 · 09-24-2009, 05:50 PM

the truck from back to the future owns all hahah

Hmmm.. Well I guess the Bronco's wheelbase isnt very long. I'd say its just as long as Ranger..?? Just a bit wider right..?

dirtdiggler666 · 09-25-2009, 03:32 PM

ok im going to make this easy for you

dont get a fucking ranger they suck ass cant tow shit and cant haul people, if you dont have any friends then you are in luck.

im not like just everyone on here im not brand loyal at all so you can trust what i say.

get the older 96-? ford f150 we have two of them one with i think 320k and the other with like 290k no fucking joke. we never change the oil its lucky if it get done every 30-40k no tranny probs at all. and i would say each one a little sensor went out like $100 bucks and we changed the plugs and wires at about 200k. and thats fucking it, honda my ass this will last longer i fucking swear, and the mpg is not bad at all.

Thank you.. I totally hear and understand everything ur saying. However I feel as if a F-150-250 would be a bit much. I mean dont get me wrong they are gorgeous trucks but I dont even like big cars. I dont even really dig Rangers nor would I consider one as a support truck. I like the Bronco because its not humongous and it still seems pretty capable. While the F-Series has an awesome line up it's still a lil more than I need.

Ever considered a Cherokee? My '99 has 220k miles on the original drivetrain and still runs perfectly, not to mention gas mileage isnt bad. Towing capacity is 5000lbs.

Tearlessj · 10-03-2009, 04:26 AM

Get a older 22RE Toyota truck. You won't regret it.

Genovese.Jr · 10-03-2009, 07:25 AM

ram 1500 use to tow a 27foot cigarette outlaw worked perfect

VNG704 · 10-03-2009, 08:30 AM

$6k? Toyota t100. The model with cab if you have kids. I have a '00 4Runner (same engine as the t100 iirc) and it's never failed me. As a matter of fact, you could tow with a 4runner which is also at or around $6k(earlier year model). ~5000 lbs two capacity.

PIN GIO 2 · 10-03-2009, 08:54 AM

get 4runner! trust me!

Or get a Jeep that's fully loaded and half the price, with a hella larger aftermarket and community.

theicecreamdan · 10-04-2009, 11:33 AM

Cummins, my dodge gets better mileage than my toyota trucks and diesel costs about $.50 /gallon less than premium gasoline.

ZX88 · 10-04-2009, 01:03 PM

frontier, or that toyota
