Review
After reading consumer reports and
other reviews of small pickups, I
wanted a Ranger ext. cab. They are in
short supply in the used market and I
was finally able to find one owned by
a retired couple. With the 2.3 litrert
engine it's not a speed demon but
cruises easily on highway and freeway.
the interior dash is nice and
uncluttered with controls easy to
reach. A very comfortable ride on
pavement and dirt.

I have been very happy with my XL long
bed. It has always been reliable, with
nice interior, relatively smooth ride.
I have also had probs with the dome
light and door chime staying on from
time, particularly in hot weather.
Ditto the check engine light. If
someone has a good solution, pls e-
mail.

I bought this truck with the 3.0 V6 wanting dependability and high utility I
wanted reasonable milage and power. I had did not expect high performance
from this truck.
I have had few problems; nothing that stranded me. Maintenance parts are
reasonably priced and available. I can depend on my truck to get me where I
need to go day in and day out.
The only real disappointment has been the performance of the 3.0. The
mileage has been good but the acceleration is not much beyond the 2.3. I
also have always been forced to use premium gas if I want to avoid serious
knocking.

Before my father bought my Ranger 2 DR XLT Extended Cab, I had never
owned a truck. I'll never have another truck but this Ranger. It has never let
me down and lives up to Fords reputation for building a tough a truck, even if
it is a small truck. I've taken numorous trips in it and it's been a delight to
drive and the comfort of the 60/40 seats keeps me happy. It's a true joy to
drive on the open roads, handles very well, as it does on country back roads.
It drives like a truck should drive, yet you don't feel like you're being beaten
to death. I work for a local V.E.T. center (Vehicle Emission Testing) and it's
VERY rare to see a Ranger fail the required testing standards.

Review
This has been a great truck but I have had many little electrical problems. It started when I tried to use the 4WD for the first time. It didn't work and dealer said the electronic components were never installed at the factory. In 2000 the wipers quit working (electrical problem). In 2001 the door ajar alarm will not shut off and the windshield wash will not work.
I think I will try a different make next time.
