1997 Ford Ranger XLT review

I bought my 1997 Ranger 4x4 3.

I bought my 1997 Ranger 4x4 3.0 automatic new. I has been my daily driver for most if that time. It hit 299'000 ten years ago and I drive it an hour one way just for work. That eiesnt I include my riad looos on tge weekends and running errands and such. The odometer has been stuck at 299,000 and I'm figuring well over 400k by now. Sadly I need to find a transmission. I lost 3 and 4th along with reverse. I'm fixing it. I'll never find something that will hold up lije this has. People tell me "You drive thay Ford piece of S***." I come right back and tell them and their Tacoma that when their truck hits 400k at 28 yearsvold and has been through the creeks and up the hills and has even been hit head on by a texting teen back in 03 and it stillbgoes down the interstate wuth the best of them then they can talk crap about my truck. Until then shove off.
