I bought my 98 ranger in 2000 with 42000 miles now I have 150000 on it. It has worked great even though i put it through h***. Not much to complain about expect the 4x4. For the past 4 years I have had to put new 4 wheel drive hubs in. Not a cheap fix. Wish it had a more reliable 4x4 system. Overall a nice truck
98 Extended Cab 4WD is a fine truck.

I bought a used 98 Ford Ranger XLT, extended cab, 4W drive,with about 40000 miles on the odometer. The Ranger was in excellent condition. I had skid plates and a wrap around grill guard installed for I do a lot of off-road driving hunting deer, upland game birds, dove and duck. I am careful not to abuse my truck but we do get off into some rough country. Highway driving is a pleasure.

had some initial problems with brakes GEM and door latches..bought with 83K miles. 1. needed new drums as the originals had already been turned...fixed. 2. problems with door latches (lube) and GEM module (dome light)..fixed. basically everything the consumer reports metions...brakes and electrical If you want HP, don't consider the 3L OHV engine...buy the 4L SOHC engine up front. 4X4 is barely adequate with the 3L...(my opinion of course)..and no amount of chipping will put a shine on this turd...but 3L is ok if get-up-and- go is not an issue for you. 3L is a dependable engine though..believe me, it is dependable.
It's a Ford...

Well this was my second Ranger and this one was a total piece of junk. Replaced an alternator, ball joints, A/C compressor kicks off and on every 20 seconds. Door Ajar light comes on at least every other time i drive it.Freeze plugs have rusted out, leaks oil, 15mpg for a V6?!?!? Really? The stock radio is bad.

Purchased my 98 ranger 5 years ago and put about 50 k miles on it. I love to drive it and the truck is a pleasure to drive but it is a costly ride. The reverse linkage broke in the transmission, $2500, 4X4 locking hubs failed $600, heater fail $900, door latch fail $125, valve covers leaks $150, front wheel bearing $450. I still like the truck but!!!!!!!
