Try as I might over the last 250k KM I can’t get mine to power slide☹️☹️
Maybe it’s the Pirelli’s that are my problem 😁
Two friends have Ford Rangers and the rear ends slide all over the place. One has the wildcat and it spins the rear tyres for fun. There is no way I could drive one and keep it between the ditches.

It is. Tyres are too good. MT/Rs were fun!

These will help on the corners and are fully adjustable for ride height.

Hey everyone, thanks for all the advice. Not to sure about the training wheels though are they rated for 2.4t if not I will need to shop around lols. I have been looking at an 06 2.7 hse on auto trader. Any recommend things I check before I buy, do you have a guide or check sheet?

It would be a long list
Make sure its got a good service history but check the following
Timing belts
Oil pump replaced with later one with stronger casting
Has the suspension been replaced
Air compressor been replaced
Check the suspension bushes
Check the brake pipes for rust
Check the prop shafts
Check the wheel bearings
Check the suspension goes up and down
Check the low range works
Have a good look for rust underneath
Check the park brake works
Check the aircon works
Thats just a few things off the top of my head and im sure other people will add to the list

Have a look in the Wiki at the top of the home page. There is a guide in there.
If look at a car with a sunroof, unless the drain elbows have been replaced IT WILL LEAK - Do a search and you will see threads covering it and a host of other common issues.
Have a look on the cars for sale section - you might find a well maintained example from a forum member.
