Just inherited a 2002 ford ranger interested in seeing what you do with it. I am super impressed with its performance in snow and ice. My dad and I bought near identical trucks in 2002, I sold mine and he kept it until handing it down to me.
Put a mountain bike on the back and use it when the trail gets to tough. Love Subarus but they are only off-road vehicles if your okay losing plastic body parts along the way.
