Used 2002 Ford Ranger Consumer Reviews
Wahoo, I got a Truck
Engine is powerful and has good torque. Seems to be engine rattle when cold passing through first and second gear.
Unhappy
I bought this truck in Oct 2002 as I needed the extended cab. I also have a Chevy S10 reg. cab and realized it was not roomy enough for traveling. Quite frankly I wanted another Chevy but there were none to be found. I liked the looks of the Ranger Edge and how it sits up higher, but soon found out it was not all I thought it would be. The 3.0 V6 engine just doesn't seem peppy enough especially on the highway. The engine is noisy and the steering isn't as responsive as I'm used to.

2002 ranger edge 4.0 5Manual 2wd
Had a 94 2wd with 4.0 and manual tranny. Bought a 2002 equipped the same way except with the sohc engine. The new edge has great looks and power once you the rpms are above 1500. The fuel economy is a little disappointing compared to the 94, but I only have 2600 miles on it. I like the interior with the rubber flooring and the 4x4 ride height is nice. This ranger has several improvments over the previous generation.
2002 ranger xl 2wd 2.3ltr 5sp manual
a really great little truck. I paid just over 12k and got every penny's worth. Put a Leer cap on it (100xlt) and it looks like a 20k SUV.
Basic truck
This is a basic no frills truck. Have had no real problems except for the rear window. This leaks and I have tried everything and can't seem to get it fixed. Not a race car. Small 4 cyl. does not have the poop to haul or tow much of anything. It is a basic, small utility truck. Mileage is nothing to be proud of. Factory tires stink. On wet roads the back end has lost traction and sent me into all three lanes of traffic on the freeway. I spent $400 and got better tires! No more problems. Don't drive these small trucks on snow or ice! You're asking for trouble. They are too light in the rear unless you load something heavy into it..
