My youngest son recently "borrowed" my 1991 Mazda pick-up (35,000 miles...he learned to drive with it).

I'd like eto replace it, but newer Mazdas are really Ford Rangers. They're inexpensive and I'll use it one day a week (Saturday, usually) to pick up mulch, take a mower in for repairs, etc.

Have only had one other Ford...an Escort wagon, which was OK, but not as reliable as the Japaneese vehicles I've owned. Bought it to carry my upright bass...bass cost more than the Escort.

Any experience with Rangers?
