Review
I have had my truck for over a year.
It does it's job good. I have had to
replace the starter and the oxygen
sensor. I have owned a 96' 4cyc ranger
before, that one and my current one has
the same problem, the driver side door
sensor has problems stopping the "door
opem" chim when the door is closed and
it's hot outside. After having 2
Rangers it's time for something
different. I have 5 TSB's that refer
to my current truck. Don't lower
trucks, they look exteremly ugly.

I have always been a ford man, but this
truck really stinks. Bought it slightly
used at the dealership. Have had the
transmission worked on a total of 3
times since i got it. Had the
alternator replaced. The harness for
the headlights burned out. The lights
in the dash quit working. EGR valve
replace way too early, Twice.

Major problems!!!! I am the original
owner of this truck. I have had
numerous recalls!(Tires, Switches,
etc...) Massive electrical problems.
4x4 problems. Numerous dealers could
not figure what the problems were.
Finally they said just replace the
transfer case,(at my cost of course),
and it was still never right. ABS
problems. Again, dealers said it was
corrected, and as soon as I leave the
dealership, more ABS problems. This was
the cause of my Wreck. Bottom line is
BUYER BEWARE!!!! Ford Quality care in
plain english SUX! Techs are uneducated
in their product. They can never figure
out what is wrong with it. I will NEVER
own another ford again.

I am only a few months away from paying
off the 0.9% financing and have loved
owning this truck. Feels strong and
sturdy but much better milage than my
fathers' F150 and brothers' 250. Got
all the amenities (power everything)
with lower price.

I bought this truck used with 26000
miles on it.The cushioning in the
drivers seat was completely worn
down,and I can feel the steel pan
whenever I drive.The door ajar light
will come on,and the dome light will
stay on(theres no off switch on the
light).I only get 20 mpg in mixed
driving(w/the 2.5 4cyl.)And The mass
air flow sensor will malfunction
causing the engine to hesitate and
stall.Ive owned 2 toyota's prior to
this,and will sell this p.o.s and buy
another !

I've had it for a while. I wanna get
rid of stick and get a fullsize truck
so I can lower it and put huge rims on
it. This truck ran good and was really
fun to drive

Review
Ive put 15,000 miles on it in the past
6 months. This is my first newer
vehicle ( I was driving a 79 suburban)
While the ranger lacks the bang of a
454 big block, it more than makes up
for it in all around performance. The
only problem Ive had is a faulty sensor
that set off the check engine and ABS
lights but, it only cost a few bucks to
fix. I reccomend premium fuel (tends to
rattle a bit if you dont)Wish I would
have had the $ for a 4wd and extended
cab model, but thus far I am happy with
the purchase

I have all the toys and the 4.0L V-6.
The truck looks great and the extra
doors is a great feature. Don't plan on
having people sit in the jump seats on a
regular basis. Plenty of power but very
bad on gas; 18mpg on the hiway is
pushing it. The ride quality is poor and
handling/braking is just OK. Build
quality is just OK and I'm glad I bought
the extended warranty. Don't buy this
truck if you want to do serious
off-roading- there are much better
choices out there.

This truck gave me no problems in the 2
years I've had it. It has good power
(V6) and tows all my toys with ease
(jet ski's). Overall, I've had
problems with previous Ford's cars but
Ford trucks are built much better.
