Ditto. ‘98 lifted Taco here. 200k miles. Purrs like a kitten but roars like a lion when I want it to (flow-thru exhaust). The only computerized part it has is the troubleshoot diagnostic. I get stopped. They want to know if I’m selling. Yeah right.
Mines a Ranger, 250,000 dirt cheap to operate, registration is 74 dollars a year. 14 inch tires are cheap to buy. I don’t have 4x4, i have snow radials and 300 pounds of sand bags. 4 cylinder gets 20 mpg city, 25 highway. It does have air conditioning.
