Go for the post 2003 years and go for the 4.0 engine. The 3.0 is reliable and perfectly capable, but it's kind of underpowered. (Of course that might not be a bad idea for a teenager  ) I think somewhere in the 2002 - 2003 years Ford finally fixed the plastic timing chain guide issues. I've had several Rangers and they have all been great trucks. I would also consider a Nissan Frontier. That's what I have now and I love it.

After owning 2 of them.... Ranger and "reliable" don't go together. Transmissions suck. Other parts too. But especially Transmissions
Buy him a 20 year old Tacoma. It is the definition of reliable. Similar size truck and better. A little more expensive but will pay for itself in what you aren't paying in repairs and replacement
