    there was no lightning or the letters gt together in any way on my ranger

    it was a 93...navy blue and a shell on the back...and it sucked BAWLZ...lucky for me i never actually paid for it as it was my grandfathers and about the time i got rid of my volvo he had a stroke and could no longer drive so i "inherited" the ranger because of my need for a vehicle...

    less than 6 months later it was parked at our farm to be used solely as a junk/tool/plant hauler

    its still there and somehow still running

    the odometer only shows like 80K on it because it had an analog odo and could only handle 6 digits with one being .10 mile...

    always made me think ford didnt build this truck to last over 100K

    All my other trucks have been 4x4 but since I don't do much off roading anymore I really don't need it. I figured that if I could tool around the snowy roads of Michigan with my 4x4 Ram in two wheel drive then certainly this Toyota could do the same. Right? Besides fish tailing is so much fun.

    4 x 4, like somebody else said, I'd hate to need it and not have it. I actually got used to having it in my RAV 4 and don't think I'd ever buy anything else now.

    some of this, a little of that
    4x4, with the winters we get around here I could not have purchased a 4x2. Oh and the occasional off roading (however very light)

    Like mentioned above, 4x4 for snow. Up here 4x2's are about as useless as tits on a bull. Sliding all over the place, fish tailing attempting to get up hills, etc. Not worth it. Maybe if the 4x2's were FWD, but they aren't so I got 4wd just to have the fwd part during winter. Let alone for the time I venture off asphalt. :D
