    Thing is what else do you buy? They all seem to have issues of one sort or another. Are the Rangers just cursed by their own popularity? ie there are so many of them around that faults of some sort are bound to show up.

    I don't own one and never have. However, I have a need for a tow vehicle upgrade. 6.5m pontoon boat.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I couldn’t resist. I was a Duckie Johnson fan in a former life.

    Thanks for the feedback team.

    FWIW, currently have 3 of the 3.2 litre Rangers in the fleet ... for our purposes they have been fine, but fuel consumption compared to the 3.2litre manual BT50's they replaced is crap. Other than that no unanticipated issues.

    Im a careful lady driver. My 3.2L averages 10.2 L/100 for tarmac driving. Gets up around 10.8-11 on the rough. How does that compare with the Mazda?
