3.0 v6 with 485 watt stereo. Thats what I hope to be driving around in next week, does anybody have any opinions on it?

I used to work for Ford at the Ranger/Mazda B assembly plant and field tested the tremor and edge series. The tremor is basically your run of the mill ranger w/ some decals and an overpriced aftermarket stereo and maybe some other cosmetic additions. I would personally just buy a "stock" ranger and add evrything u want and nothin u don't. I strongly recommend the 4.0 V6, it's got some balls, especially thru the 5-speed. But if you like what the tremor offers, than more power to ya.

like i havent had much luck with aftermarket parts and was looking for something already put together ya know

The radio and the speakers in the ranger are some of the easiest things to replace.

I havent looked at the tremor but if its overpriced like Mr. Malibu says, I wouldnt buy it. The 4.0L is the way to go.

Get an Edge 4.0 and have an installer (if you don't like to DIY) install some new speakers. Same look, better stereo, cheaper overall.

Not at all overpriced if you factor in the $3,000 rebate. I would wait until the 2004's come out, supposed to be a better and louder stereo system, plus, finally the availabilty of 4x4.

Allow me to add to emulous' comment:

The 2004 Ranger is a little different than the 2003. The differences include: the gauge cluster, the steering wheel, the color choices (drop yellow, add 3 others), a more powerful system in the Tremor, Tremor avail. in 4x4, a new (very tacky) grille, and new availability of the same (as 2003) wheels.

Wait till the 04's are beginning to get delivered, and strike a deal on an '03 for about $6k off MSRP. Around ATL, they are already going for that amt. ($6k off)
