I have a 2001 Ford Range 4x4 with the 4.0 L. auto.

I will never sell it!!!

What a little work horse.

I can get into all kinds of spots between trees, steep terrain. It will haul 1/2 yards of DG or what ever.

No, they aren't a full-sized truck, but they seem to get the job done, regardless.



I could have written this. I have had five of 'em as well. I posted the pic above of my green 4 cylinder. That little Nissan 4 cylinder is one of the best engines ever made. Sadly, 4WD no longer available with the 4 cylinder.
So now I have this one.

If they are so great, why have I had 5? Let the girlfriend drive my first one, she totalled it. Second and third ones rusted out here in the mountains in the snow and salt. And a drunk gal crashed into me on I 85 one night in the 4th one, totalled it.

Me too!

I was just kind of kidding around when I posted the info for them. But they look like a heck of a toy for $2200 delivered.

I've watched the video a half dozen times. The specs say they'll do 37 mph,...which is as fast as I'd want to go in one of them. But they would be handy with a trailer for somebody on a small acreage place. I'm always moving something around here that's too heavy to pack, but not big enough to need to get out the pick-up.

That's what my 2000 Frontier has. Same engine used in the Altima and Pathfinder. I've been able to ask for Altima/Pathfinder parts that will work when I'm told that Frontier parts aren't available, they shared a few parts.
