Which Ford Ranger is best?

Hi,

I'm looking at buying a Ford Ranger. I prefer the style of the 03-06 model rather than the 07 to present model, but I've been warned to stay away from the old one. Is there a real difference between the two? If so what is it?

I am going to refer your question to someone who has spent time in both models and get back to you as soon as possible. Jarlath Sweeney is Editor of Fleet Magazine and he has spent time in both cars. Here is what he has to say about the Rangers:

"The differences between old and new Rangers are chalk and cheese - everything about the present one is improved from driveline to handling - we did Malin to Mizin twice over 3 days 2 years ago and could not complain. It is important to have a little load in the rear to aid stability however. There is a facelifted version due soon"

Hope that helps
