  250hp and towing capacity of 5000lbs, I have never heard anything bad about them. If you have heard something bad please share. My wife likes them and was considering one but if they can't tow their capacity let me know.

  Thanks. Appreciated. We'll scratch that off the list. But I am sure you can find defects with every car on the road. I was looking at an avalanche in February and then i read about the excessive oil consumption issue some of those motors have (5.3), it kept me from buying what was probably a really nice truck.

  Yes, every vehicle has issues.
  
  My hemi burns synthetic oil at a quart every 1000 or so miles but conventional oil burns less than a quart in 5000 miles...go figure

  Reminds me my ram is due for an oil change. I still stick with every 3k like a fool, but whatever

  Our Yukon burned about a qt every 1500 miles. Wasn't really an issue unless we were going on a trip, I'd just fill it before we left and before we came back. It didn't smoke, that's all i cared about.

  Most vehicles in the shop or up on blocks don't.
  
  
  I'm sorry I'll stop busting on your Ranger, but you're making it too easy for me! I can't resist sometimes.

  Well I feel bad. I've had F150s, F250s, and rangers and they all did what they were supposed to do. The only Ford i had that was crap was a contour. That soured me on ford cars forever.

  That is my prejudice too. My first new car was a '73 Dodge Challenger. Pure lemon and the last Dodge I ever bought. I also owned a Chevy and it was just OK. I owned 3 Fords back to back and 3 Nissans and no serious problems with any of them.
  
  Son does not want a full size pick-up (due to size of where he has to park it) but does want to be able to tow his small boat.

  
  I had a 73 Plymouth Satellite, equally a pieces of junk. Nice looking car but Mopar engine. JUNK!
  
  Midsized truck? I'd look for a Tacoma.
