I'm lucky in that respect, it has no rust at all. It is not garaged much but is never left to sit under trees or driven in salt, on the beach, or anything like that.

2003 was the last year for analog odometers in North American Rangers, it's kind of odd to see in something that new, I know.

The seat upholstery is original. It is starting to show a little wear on the bottom edge and on the bolster, but is hardly noticeable in person, much less in a picture. I am surprised that there are no holes yet. Maybe I don't drag myself across it as hard as most people? Who knows.
When this upholstery actually does wear through, I'm going to find myself a nice set of power leather buckets from a '95-'96 Explorer Limited or Eddie Bauer, and have them reupholstered to match my interior.
The only thing in the interior not original is the brake pedal pad, it had worn through to the metal so I replaced it.
EDIT: And I tossed the original floor mats, the driver's side had a hole worn under the pedals. The rubber mats are better for a truck, anyways.
