2002 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"Tough and reliable truck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator was toast after a couple thousand miles.
General comments?
So far so good, I really love my truck. It performs well especially now that I replaced the stock restrictive exhaust and intake, but those cat. converters (4 of them apparently) really hold it back still. Other than then alternator going after a few thousand miles of owning it I haven't had any other problems. The interior is nice, but the seats could be a bit more comfortable and the extended cab is nice too as long as you're passengers don't mind being a little bit cramped. If you're looking for a fun to drive, reliable and tough mid-sized truck I would go with this.
