2005 Ford Ranger XLT (SAS - Crawler)

Up for sale is my 2005 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4. The vehicle has been in my family since 2006, and underwent a solid axle swap in 2010. This custom swap was professionally done by local shops and I have copies of the invoices for the entire swap for both the front and rear axles, along with all maintenance records. This vehicle has seen plenty of dirt time, however for the most part has been use for fishing, hunting, camping, etc. While overbuilt to withstand the toughest trails, it was only wheeled lightly over the years. This has been an Arizona truck and is a spare vehicle now, and unfortunately I don’t have the time to drive it and use it to its full potential. As a result, I am not in a hurry to sell it but am ready to let it go to a home that will enjoy its capabilities. There are no known mechanical issues, and has remained a reliable vehicle over the years. Emissions are good until August 2020 and over $23k has been spent in the axle swaps, fabrication work and aftermarket parts, which as mentioned I have the copies of invoices and maintenance over the years.


Asking $9k cash OBO. Vehicle is located in Glendale, Arizona.

That’s really nice, I’d love to have that! I cut my teeth on lifting rangers in the late 80’s and early 90’s. That’s an awesome rig!

 

Thanks man! She’s been a Great truck and I have some awesome memories with her over the years. Sadly I haven’t wheeled in over a year really and I DD the tundra, so time to make some space in the garage so I can put the tundra in there.

 

My first vehicle was an extended cab ford ranger. This thing is beautiful. Glws, will make a heck of a truck for someone

 

Thanks man! She’s been well cared for. Finally ripping the bandaid off and posting it on CL and forums.

Wait you’re on here too?

 

Nice crawler. Well executed. GLWS!

 

Thank you!

 

Find a buyer, and that's a deal

 

I want to come look at it, but have no time till after the 4th. Gonna DD it(no highway), you feel it’s good for that?

 

Yeah, needs to go from Queen Creek to Apache Junction. Should be good, but wait to hear what the op has to say.

 

If it’s still around, then absolutely. And ya, I DD’d it for about a year after I sold my Tacoma before I bought another vehicle. Had no issues. Commuted from my old house in Surprise to Downtown Phx 5 days a week.

 

Should be good. It’s way overbuilt and has handled fine. It’s had to play a DD plenty of times in between vehicles, so no issues there
