Used 2010 Ford Ranger Regular Cab Consumer Reviews
B2200 Vs Ranger
I drove a 1991 Mazda B2200 for 238,000 miles. I decided to buy a new truck and settled on the Ford, which is supposed to be the same as Mazda. The Mazda had 94 horspower, the Ranger claims 148. On the same trip I have driven a 100 times with the Mazda, the Ranger couldn't pull the same hills without slowing down. It has higher gearing so it can't pull like the Mazda did. On some sections of bad road it handles very badly, kinda like skips. Quality is a bit sloppy. there were burrs on the door handles, on the steering wheel, and down under where you grab the emergency brake lever. The cover on the steering wheel that covers the air bag, has a gap that caught my coat sleeve button, not good.
Go Go Ranger
love the small truck. I don't know why they quit making them.

Ranger in review
One would think that Ford Motor Co could and would know how to build a good quality Ranger truck by now since they have been building the same one for a number of years now. This truck vibrates (4 cyl). While driving several now, I find only one in five that do not vibrate ( from the engine) You will feel it in steering wheel, while power is engaging, and in the ride itself. I found out now that Ford knows about this and does nothing more than send out a notice to dealers that they have a couple of plates to stable the engine abit to keep it from vibrating as much as it is doing. The poor quality of workmanship of the people working for Ford (USA) and the Ford Motor Company is bad
Wanted a reliable truck that I could tow
I purchased my Ford Ranger USED (Nov, it was a city vehicle, had 52000 miles on it. (Purchased in May 2019) What I like is the long bed. (it was a fleet vehicle) Went through it replaced shocks, tires, and converted the brakes to drilled/slotted discs, upgraded to all LED lighting, and upgraded the stereo. What a difference. The truck has quite a bit of power, for the 4 cylinder, I was surprised and the bonus was excellent gas mileage. I am 6'5" the cab is a little tight, but not bad. I am installing a drive-shaft clutch so I can tow it behind my motorhome. It does have wind noise and squeaks, but for the money, I will deal with it! Again, really pleased.
X Mazda owner followup
Having taken the Ranger on several trips I questioned the horsepower ratings made by ford. I took it to a dyno shop here in Sacramento and the truck produced 124 peak horsepower. This is about right counting drive train power lose. Ford claims 156 so at 20% drive train lose, this number, 124, is right on. Here is what I don't understand. The Ranger won't pull the same hills as the 1991 Mazda truck did. The Mazda got 27.5 miles per gallon. The ford Ranger gets 27.5 miles per gallon. So where is the progress? Ford has had 19 years to get the same gas mileage? Ford also chose to make the bed shorter, presumably to save money. I purchased the ford bedliner, now the bed cannot hold six feet.
