@@limoboy27 They're not terrible at all. My Focus 2013 Focus has the 2.0 duratec and I've had absolutely zero issues in over 3 years of driving it and 40k since getting it. Car has 83k and still great.
I had a 92 and 93 Ranger (92 w/4 cyl and 93 w/3.0 V6) and they were beasts. The 4 bang was weak, that's for sure, and the V6 was fair but what I miss most was the gas mileage of both of them and how I almost ripped them both in half doing stupid offroad stuff and they kept going. Only got rid of the 93 because I wanted bigger and an F150....fat bellies don't fit well behind the steering wheels. Now, I wish I had another one watching you, if nothing but just to drive locally or even do my own experiments (wife said no there). Keep it coming Mike.
The 24 hour later after shot is hilarious, that’s just like our Kentucky weather lol! Also you should get a Zex “safe shot” kit. Hell they might even sponsor it! 35-50 shot, send it! Or just 100 shot and blow a bay window in the block lol
Just sold my 2005 Ranger Extended Cab 4x4 automatic with the 4.0 6 cylinder with 101,000 miles on it. Was is mint condition and I loved they truck. Drove and ran great. Ford guy but ended up trading 2020 Ford Explorer Limited for a 2020 Silverado RST Black with Blackout package and did not need two trucks. Rangers are awesome.
You should a random weird mix in the tank. Like lard, diesel, olive oil, ATF, engine oil, vodka, brake fluid, CVT fluid, Red Bull, brake cleaner, and vinegar or something. Then run that with NOS
There is something about rangers, I bought one for a winter beater 21k miles ago, this 2.3 has over 300k, burns tons of oil, spark knocks, transmission whines due to worn bearings, I’ve had a lower end noise for 20k, It is consistently overloaded. It just keeps on going for whatever reason.
I had a 94 with 204,000 hard miles. Traded it in for a F150 because we were having a child. Before I traded it, I tried some crazy stuff and it still ran like a top. Wish i still had it
I bought a winter beater salvage title 03 xlt fx4 4.0 with 70k on it a few years ago for 2k not a rust bucket and I beat the snot out of it. Probably the best vehicle I've bought for that price.
I would like to see 4 different tires on it at once and see how it rides. I’m talking about a 15” wheel on one corner and a 13” on another just ridiculous looking.
Love the Danger Ranger... I have a 94 Mazda B2300 with 235k miles. Same engine you have... probably same tranny but mine is 2WD. About once every year or two it will crank but not start... I carry a mallet behind the seat to beat on the fuel tank and jar the fuel pump, then she starts like nothing happened. Engine might take Nitrous and surprise you... same 2.3 litre is used for short dirt track racing... have heard of one outfit still building them (including casting new blocks)... search 2.3liter Ford I4 for more info. Have to admit I will be alittle sad when you either kill the Danger Ranger or send her to the 'Yard.
Try mixing kerosene with acetone; 2 parts kerosene to 1 part acetone. Mix them together before fueling the vehicle first please, because, if undiluted kerosene enters the cylinders, it will foul the engine, if acetone enters the engine first, it will melt the gaskets & may begin an engine fire. Beware and good luck!
I miss my 93 2.3 ranger. I got a low mileage 97 it's only got 350000 miles but it's not the same. Seems like Ford realized it was too good so they changed rear diff ratio. Gutless my 93 had 800 thousand miles still roasted tires.
You should buy the best injector cleaner lucas oil have. Buy gallons of injector cleaner and just dump it in a quarter of a tank to see if it runs worse or better. They advertise that you can't over do it. (Orange big bottle)
I got the same truck I use it as a farm truck around my farm can’t kill it love that truck careful don’t destroy that truck they have a loyal following somebody might flip out
Do the 65 mph first gear again, but this time put it in 4WD if it still works! Wont lock the rear tires up like last time and might actually do something to the engine
Hoopty 2 is much better than Hoopty 1. I mean for starters you can open the hood....... I wanna see you and Brian do some crazy ass stuff. Maybe get NOS on one of his too and just mess about.
You did leave it on you're not pressing down that button above the ignition, then it will be turned off all the way. Just press that button the ignition will turn off all the way.
idea... "Will it Fit" where you strap down various super heavy loaded stuff (well beyond rated payload weight) in the bed and see if she'll drive, take a corner, emergency braking etc.
Top Gear drove a 4runner into salt water at the beach, it was submerged ...after getting the water out it started.....then they picked it up with a crane and dropped it ... i think it was badly mangled .. but still started
Put some RESPEK on the Danger Ranger 😂
I respect the danger ranger
i agree with u master AutoVlog
Oh yah!
When is the muffler delete coming with Brian's car?
I respect you
Everytime that poor truck starts up i can literally hear it cry, "please kill me now"!
You can't kill it tho
@@GAMINGOBRIEN69 apparently
Try to kill an old ranger, I dare you.
😭
Absolute beast I’m not even a ford guy but that truck is a keeper for sure
Can't wait for the NOS. It will be like when Hoovie put NOS on a Prius.
*NOS!*
Then proceeded to blow the motor the very second he hits the nos button
Then RIP to Hoovies Pruis lmao. That was a disaster.
Nos doesn’t really do anything I mean it goes faster but it’s limited
I like your idea of putting the giggle gas to it
@Rudraksha Dwivedi nos
The return of the Ranger. I might buy one of these since it looks like they don’t die.
Most durable car in the fleet for sure
Ford Ranger's original 2.3 engine is bulletproof and you can't kill it. Even Toyota fanboy Scotty Kilmer says those Rangers are tough.
😂😂😂
Even the Duratecs arent bad. My 09 2.3 has 315k on it.
@@limoboy27 They're not terrible at all. My Focus 2013 Focus has the 2.0 duratec and I've had absolutely zero issues in over 3 years of driving it and 40k since getting it. Car has 83k and still great.
That's the truth.
Fords really do have some weird thing where the go forever depending on the vehicle
Most companies have at least a few models from the 90's that will just run forever for some reason haha
@@isveryniceyes true. You got the camry, the civic, the ranger, the impala... every manufacturer has that one that never dies
Great to have you back posting on the regular again! RESPEK!
That is just incredible. The amount of abuse this truck has taken, and it just keeps going.
I think the Ranger and my XL7 need to get together soon.
So you are not working at Mikes favorite dealership anymore?
@@MrBillpam91 Nope, 19 years was long enough.
Yeah I think you guys should go offroading like you guys did when he had the chevy prizm
@@stanggang754 me too!
ive been waiting for a video man!!!
“Keep making fun content” uhhh… We don’t even have Danger Ranger vids after this…
I love watching these videos about the danger Ranger
When are the Ranger vids comin back?
Remember that Hoovie put nitrous on a Prius and it blew the engine up. Just shot it from several places.
These videos are just so hilarious to watch 😂😂. This truck is a beast, he never stops 😎. Keep up the great content 👍👍.
At 5:54 The (F)ate (O)f (R)anger (D)anger 🚙 ⛽ "UNBREAKABLE"
Fix Or Repair Daily
@@CarranzaAlberto LOL
It’s been a long time and I can’t wait for the next video of the ranger I miss that truck I hope it’s not junkyarded I’d be sad 😢

35-50 shot, send it!
Or just 100 shot and blow a bay window in the block lol
7:20 the noice and reaction killed me idk why 😂
Mike, you should try to put diesel exhaust fluid in your gas tank next time!
Lol sounds like diesel 😂😂 when he starts kinda of
Mike,
you should definitely restore this car ... clean the engine compartment, get rid of the rust and put a raptor liner on it :):):)
the Reliant Danger Ranger. it survives much more put that thing on a pedistol and keep it as a trophy.
Just sold my 2005 Ranger Extended Cab 4x4 automatic with the 4.0 6 cylinder with 101,000 miles on it. Was is mint condition and I loved they truck. Drove and ran great.

Be safe and have a good holidays
Bruh I love the sound of the truxk starting
Best truck on the channel hands down.
Also best channel lol.
6:06 I think when Mike heard you say “Danger Ranger”, he probably had a different idea of what you meant.
Aight this gave me some confidence to go ahead and purchase a danger ranger as a daily for my job.
You should a random weird mix in the tank. Like lard, diesel, olive oil, ATF, engine oil, vodka, brake fluid, CVT fluid, Red Bull, brake cleaner, and vinegar or something. Then run that with NOS
Not sure if it helps but I dont skip the ads, try to give you the full credit for the ad my man! LOVE your channel!

Straight up out of the movie *"are we there yet?"*
It already has “wings” and now you’re going to add NOS…I believe I can fly🦅👏🏻😂😂
i like how everything the redbull cant effect, is breaking lol
Your face during the “one tire fryer” 😂😂
So this was the last video you ever made on the Ford ranger
this car is a legend now dude... make more videos with it :D
You and Brian should do a Raptor 3.5L HO engine swap on the Danger Ranger. :)
Love the Danger Ranger... I have a 94 Mazda B2300 with 235k miles. Same engine you have... probably same tranny but mine is 2WD.

I don't know what that's about hahahahah ahhhh maybe the red bull Mike haha
Great little truck,just the right size.
Try mixing kerosene with acetone; 2 parts kerosene to 1 part acetone. Mix them together before fueling the vehicle first please, because, if undiluted kerosene enters the cylinders, it will foul the engine, if acetone enters the engine first, it will melt the gaskets & may begin an engine fire.

You should make a compilation on how much abuse that truck has taken, and send it to Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear.
Hi Mike another great video 😀👍
Hey be safe and love your content from b town Canada. U always make us love about car soo much . Take care Mike
I miss my 93 2.3 ranger. I got a low mileage 97 it's only got 350000 miles but it's not the same. Seems like Ford realized it was too good so they changed rear diff ratio. Gutless my 93 had 800 thousand miles still roasted tires.
fix it up if it survives again lol .. like new paintjob tires and such but keep the keyless start lol
im kinda sad that thing has less km than mine
Love that the tow truck guy recognized it hahaha
Ranger gang.. they're badass
I love the nos mod idea
You should buy the best injector cleaner lucas oil have. Buy gallons of injector cleaner and just dump it in a quarter of a tank to see if it runs worse or better. They advertise that you can't over do it. (Orange big bottle)
I got the same truck I use it as a farm truck around my farm can’t kill it love that truck careful don’t destroy that truck they have a loyal following somebody might flip out
This makes me miss my old 2000 4Runner she ran like a beast till it went on fire.
This truck is a beast! Love it.
bilt for tuf ,and hey ,that same thing you could have doneto the other car you put wiper fluwied in the tank
😂😂😂comes with K&N PERFORMANCE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM😂😂😂
If your parking brake doesn't work, you can leave it in 1st gear or reverse. It won't go anywhere unless it's absurdly steep.
You should buy the nitrous kit then dyno it before and after.
Did he say NOS? YES HE DID!!!! 🤘🤪
4:32 Like a kitten at a milk pail
Me: Cool! The Ranger is alive! Wonder what he'll do to it next!
Ranger: NO MORE PLEASE!!!! MERCY!!!!
Do the 65 mph first gear again, but this time put it in 4WD if it still works! Wont lock the rear tires up like last time and might actually do something to the engine
90s Ford Rangers do not die! Even after all those tests.
Hoopty 2 is much better than Hoopty 1. I mean for starters you can open the hood....... I wanna see you and Brian do some crazy ass stuff. Maybe get NOS on one of his too and just mess about.
I'm from west virginia and we have inspection but it's very easy to get just about anything Inspected
Where are you Denver
I live in Michigan I see the weather change like that all the time
it will get rod knock with nos im gonna love that one
These tow truck drivers don’t get paid enough to help out in this type weather. They are heros.
Take the restrictor out of the intake it will run much better
keyless 😂😂
You did leave it on you're not pressing down that button above the ignition, then it will be turned off all the way. Just press that button the ignition will turn off all the way.

I don't know why I watch this, but this shit is fun as hell
For your last vid with the car can you jump like Streetspeed did with his raptor except bigger
Mike you should install the illuminated star on your AMG
Cool man I love your videos ✌😃
12.30 am when I got the notification here in England. Oh it to is snowing here
you should do like 2/3 high test and 1/3 red bull. obviously it won’t fire on red bull
Pull like a super heavy trailer with it or heavy things
Put other type of likour in the tank, whiskey, Jim, or stuff like that.. :) :)
DANGER RANGER IS BACK! WOOT!
You should do a lift kit and off road suspension and turn it into a rock crawler
Great .. u brought the drunk truck back alive
That birdman shit was funny as fuck
When u say my name, put some respec on it!🤣
For the next experiment, turn the key while it’s running at 60 mph
That's one tough truck
Top Gear drove a 4runner into salt water at the beach, it was submerged ...after getting the water out it started.....then they picked it up with a crane and dropped it ... i think it was badly mangled .. but still started
They put it on top of a high rise building then demolished the building and it was still a ticking.👍
My ranger has the 3.0 v6 in there I tow 7,000ibs with it it’s got 280,400 miles on it
Now this is what I’m talking about!
Have you tried flat shifting without the clutch
Well you don't need a parking brake, you can just leave it with 1st gear in, the gearbox will hold the car too
