The 2002 Ford Ranger: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2002 Ford Ranger for sale by us right now. This page helps you judge the 2002 Ford Ranger before you buy one anywhere.
What to check on the Ranger
NHTSA has 346 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, vehicle speed control and structure. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
What the figures tell you
The 2.3L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Rated at 10.2 L/100 km combined, it needs around 31 litres for a 300 km round trip. Every 100 km costs about $15.81 in fuel at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Size and space
A pickup is long and tall, so plan for parking and low garages.
When the Ranger makes sense
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Rent it for a week first
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. If the Ranger is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the Ranger on your commute, then decide.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Which one to look for
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Make a request
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2002 Ford Ranger from us first.
