A Ranger will probably do OK for what you describe. However, the Ranger won't get any better mileage than the F150, and the 150 has more space in the cab, and there were probably more of them around with manual locking hubs. I wouldn't touch a ranger with automatic hubs generally, and one with vacuum hubs under absolutely no circumstances. I've got one, and they never work, and can't be made to work. They were so bloody bad that Ford did away with them after 2 years. '98-'00 were the bad years.
so, I'd probably go for a 150 or a 1/2 ton dodge. I'm not that picky on brand's anymore. I like ford trucks, but I've very little respect for their old windsor engines. The Ranger will have a very good little engine. 2.3's and 3.0L engines are tough as nails.
Just leave those damn vacuum hubs where they're at. Rod
