Review
Bought in 2009 with 25,000 original mi. certified on Carfax. This is as basic of a truck as you can get. No power steering or radio. But a great small work truck. Added a CD player myself. Other than oil changes no maintenance has been needed.

I purchased the Ranger XLT longbed new in 1990 and wish there had been a lemon law in place at that time (there is now). After a few thousand miles I had to have the dealer install a new rear axle as the old one was being worn in two! I purchased the Ford rust protection. At 270,000 miles it is now pile of rust in spite of regular waxes and washes (it was showing signs of rust at 150,000 miles)! At 133,000 miles: installed rebuilt engine: I have now put more miles into the rebuilt than the factor engine! The check engine light continues to come off in spite of having dealers look at it.

I actually had an '88, but I figured 2
years wouldnt be that much of a
difference. Mine was a 5 speed, and it
was very difficult to drive. If you
want this truck definitely get an
automatic. I had the 2.3 liter engine,
I would suggest the V6. The truck was
pretty tough. But there were so many
problems all over the truck, that I put
more than it was worth to get fixed. I
really wouldn't suggest the truck
unless you're just going to use it
every once in a while.

This truck was my late fathers work
truck. It works well and runs great
but a 2.3L engine in a truck is a
little small however it has been really
reliable with 274,000 miles on it.
Even in Chicago with our cold winters
and sometimes hot summers it always
starts.

My Ranger has been a great truck.
Will soon surpass 217,000 miles with
no major problems. Fun to drive.
Good acceleration when downshifting to
pass. Smooth handling for a truck.
Capable off road and on.

I have a 1990 ford Ranger and have had
to replace the trans twice and the
engine once
part of it is probably the 16 year old
in me
but now i am 20
but as far as the engine goes that is
becuase of the transmission going out
the engine is good
but don't trust the Trans
overall it has been a good truck

If your looking for a reliable, easy on fuel (2.3 liter) pick up truck I recommend a ford ranger. I have owned the truck for two years and did not put one cent in repairs.
