Back tracking at its finest lol
How am I back tracking?

I admitted I forgot the Colorado/Canyon, easy enough to do since they are SOOO forgettable, long before you showed up here.

the pricing structure at Chevy is so bad that they don't even PRETEND to be competitive with the Ranger until you reach the $45000 mark.
Check and see what Chevy offers at entry level... NO CONTEST!
You can buy an XL level Ranger with Performance and mechanicals more capable than Chevy's top of the line.
If you overlook a few trinkets, the Ranger wins hands down and you get to keep at least enough cash in your wallet to give you hip dysplasia on the trip home from the dealer!.

Yep. Although 34.6k isn't cheap by any means, the Ranger STX was an excellent value in today's market.

The difference is even more pronounced on the 2WD XL series....
At $25,500 my STX 2WD SuperCab just absolutely blew the competition out of the water.
Add to that the clearly superior build quality, power and reliability and it makes you wonder how the others ever sell a single truck.
Then add to that the (subjective) great looks!

Absolutely. Some people's most basic spec is a King Ranch. I am hoping that the desirability of the 4wd / crewcab will pay for itself if the Ranger is sold one day.

Hope so, for your sake, but you will need to sell it in the first five years for that to be true...
My last Ranger left the driveway with a resale of over 30% of its original sale price after 18 years and approaching 200,000 miles. It was a regular cab 2WD stick shift. Ostensibly all resale killers....
Oddly enough, with advanced age, a basic short box 2WD pickup becomes more desirable than its more pricey counterparts.
BTW; "one day" was exactly how long it took me to sell my last Ranger.

Sorry, just saw this. so do all the ranger 4x4 models come with auto lockers?
I have the XL with the STX Special Edition, not an FX4..

1) No, actually no Ranger has a "auto locker" it is manually engaged with a button.
2) For non-FX4 models, 2wd or 4wd the rear locker is an option. I think it was $420.
