I can either get a souped up '95 Acura Integra or a '99 Ford Ranger. I know the truck would be better for winter and hauling ski equipment around but I'm kinda leanin' towards the Integra. Opinions on this?

What does Sup Up'd entai? like an intake, ricer rims, and some more ricer stuff? or like a real Turbo, real suspension, and real parts? What motor is in the Ranger. We need a bit more info before everyone yells at you to get a Subaru

Take the ranger, skiing is a non issue, and trips of any kind are done and done.

how many miles are on each? what do they get for gas mileage? is the integra a 4door or a coupe? you won't really be ballin it up in either of them so pick whichever is most functional and will last you the longest.

Is the Teggy a GSR or a LS? I would chose the teggy over the truck any day. Just because its a Ford Ranger.

neither. i had a 97 integra LS coup and the fuckin thing started falling apart, one problem after the next. i babied that car for over 5 years and it took a shit on me. i blame the dealership i bought it from because they were too stupid to notice the worn motor mounts that made the engine shake.

Fords are garbage.

find something better and don't waste your money on trash.

if you go with the ford make sure it has the 4.0. the four banger and the 3.0 v6 are worthless in the ranger. FUck the ricer man, but neither is a great choice in my opinion.

how much money do you have? because i can imagine we could find you a much better car for the money than a '95 Teggy or a Ford fucking ranger. and those are two completely different types of mobiles. do you have any damn clue of what you're even looking for?

I hate ford with a burning passion, but I still say go with the truck. Much more utilitarian, you can throw whatever you want in the back. Of course if you have absolutely no use for a truck whatsoever the honda is definitely gonna be cheaper to maintain.

old fords aren't that bad, my dad had a 6 cyl 80s econoline van, it was pretty good, he bought it at 200000 and got another 100000 out of it before he sold it. It was fuel efficient for a van too
