Hi Bigcol
I loved the 76, fantastic for towing, but being the workmate model was real basic. Lack of sound proofing made it pretty noisy inside. However, they are a work truck. We did a few 5/6 hr trips and it was OK. I always wanted one and needed to get it out of my system. It was a 2010 model and I had it just under 2 years it was time for a change. Oh! the other small thing being a manual the better half couldn't drive it. The Ranger is a totally different beast, opposite end of spectrum for refinement, wife prefers it over her Patrol. Being the 3.2 Auto will tow 3500kg. Happy with it so far.
