Review
I purchased the vehicle about a year
and a half ago and have had nothing
but problems with it. I have had ABS
brake issues, fuel sensor problems,
transmission problems,oil pressure
sensing problems, rust problems, and
more stuff that would take too long to
mention. The reliability of this auto
is terrible and it's plague with
numerous technical service bullitens
and recalls. You would think that a
vehicle who's design has remained
unchanged for the last 10 years would
have all of the bugs worked out of it.
If you are looking for a good truck,
don't look to Ford.

Bought this truck new in 2000. Put on
an aftermarket cruise control.(works
great). Have the 3.0 liter V-6 with
automatic transmission. Outfitted with
chrome wheels and a tonneau cover, I
actually get some very favorable
comments on its appearance. I tow a
small ski boat and it seems up to the
job.
All and all I'm pleased with this
truck.

BOUGHT MY TRUCK NEW IN 2000. LAST FOUR
DOOR IN ARIZONA AND I WAS NOT TO
PLEASED WITH THE COLOR THEN. RED. PAINT
JOB IS GREAT AS ARE ALL EXTERIOR FITS.
MOTOR COULD USE SOME MORE JUICE, BUT
JUST FINE FOR DRIVING UP TO PRESCOTT OR
PAYSON AND FLAGSTAFF. TOWING IS A
LITTLE SLOW GOING UP STEEP GRADES. SO
IT TAKES 5 MINUTES LONGER TO GET WHERE
YOUR GOING. NOT ONE PROBLEM YET. IT IS
MAINTAINED EVERY THREE MONTHS. THAT'S
REALLY ALL I CAN SAY NEGATIVELY ABOUT
THE TRUCK. POWER AND MILEAGE. I COULD
HAVE GOTTEN THE 4.0 LITER, IF THERE WAS
ONE IN FLEET SALES.

I communte about 25000 miles a year.
On weekends this vehicle is used for
hunting and towing quads & a popup
trailor.
As a commuter I get about 17mpg at 70
mph. I was expecting better. I had a
1999 F-150 4.6lt that got the same or
better mpg.
I have had some problems with the
clutch while towing. This passed
weekend it slipped on a mild incline
with my quads in tow.

Since purchasing my Ranger used, with
only 27k miles, I have been very
pleased. The basic transportation and
ability to haul bulky items is a plus.
I am 6ft.5ins., 255lbs; and find I
have plenty of head and leg room. I
find the truck fun to drive; my dog
loves it!

I bought my truck in 2001,I had it a
week and noticed some problems, my
seats kept popping of the track so they
had to replace the tracks,then I
noticed a noise under the truck so I
took it back and they told me nothing
was wrong.Well the truck needed new
upper and lower ball joints,and
bushings.1 month later I had the truck
back in to replace the brake springs in
the rear,and both rear shocks.2 months
later I had the truck back in to
replace the upper and lower control
arm. Now I am having problems with my
power windows. I had this truck in the
shop 12 times in 4 months.

This is a great small truck. It was used
when I got it and it is still running
strong. It has just enough power to pull
a small trailer if needed. It also gets
good fuel mileage! I would recommend it
for anyone looking for a small truck
that gets good gas mileage and runs great!

As I get ready to trade in my Ranger, I
have to leave feedback. What a great
truck...I drive quite a bit, and have
had nothing but good luck with this
Ranger...my 2nd. I have needed no
repairs, other than oil changes and a
tire recall...dealership even told me I
had over 50% of my brakes left! Would
recommend this truck to anyone!
