2008 Ford Ranger XLT Short Bed Regular Cab Pickup

The 2008 Ranger XLT Short Bed Regular Cab Pickup is a steal at $19,870.00. Gas mileage might also be an important consideration and though the Ranger is on the lower range of fuel economy with 20 miles per gallon on the highway, this may be offset by other great features.
