Used 1990 Ford Ranger Extended Cab Consumer Reviews
great truck
Well i bought this truck last summer for 2500 with about 158,000 miles on it. i am just about to pass 165k but it is actually running better now then it was when i got it, i take the thing off roading pretty much every weekend and get stuck very rarely only because of the low front dana 35, but i pulled out a 98 chevy silverado extended cab with a 6 in lift and 35 inch tires. the truck was buried to the frame and i pulled the giant out. It is my daily driver and i love the thing to death even though i had the fuel pump relay go out and had to pay 200 dollars for a tow and had to have a new alternator, but will probably drive the truck till it runs no more
Inheritance
My dad bought the 90 in 92. It was on a gravel road all its life. A farm truck.All us kids used it and not gently I might add. He tricked it out. I got it 4 yrs ago with 136,000 miles. Had to replace brakes, all rubber items and some gasket that was the original cork. I use it in the winter in Iowa.Rusted a bit above the rear wheels, but excellent condition and the interior is immaculate. I just bought my 4th Ranger (95 purple, 97 splash). I believe in Rangers!
Been a good truck
I've had the truck for 9 yrs - bought it used in '93. Have 150K miles. I've replaced RABS valve, fuel reg, P/S pump, water pump. A/C has leaked down, probably compressor seal. Overall, I like the truck. The engine is strong, and the truck does well off-road, although I did replace the auto-locking hubs with Warn manual hubs.
Excellent vehicle
This is an excellent vehicle for the age it has on it. It still runs very well and the comfort level is great.
1990 Ford Ranger
I bought this truck four years ago, and I have been very satisfied with its reliability and performance. In four years, the only major repair was to replace the clutch at 130,000 miles. The transmission is still in good shape, and it gets 21 mpg on the highway. The 2.8L V6 is more than enough for this truck, and makes it easy to take off the pavement, a must in rural Ohio.
