What should I know before purchasing a Ford Ranger?

I'm considering buying a Ford Ranger for its versatility and ruggedness. However, I'm not sure if it's the right car for me. Can you give me some insights on what I should consider before making the purchase?

Hi Samantha, the Ford Ranger is a great car for off-roading and hauling heavy loads. However, it's important to keep in mind that it's a larger vehicle, so make sure you're comfortable driving a bigger car. Also, be mindful of the fuel consumption as it can be higher compared to smaller cars.

From my experience, the Ford Ranger is a reliable car with a powerful engine. However, there might be some issues with the transmission, so make sure to test drive the car before buying and check if there are any unusual noises or shifting problems.
