1994 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America

The Transmission went out, but that was @ 160,000 miles lol. so I forgave it if you know what I mean.

I have a 1994 Ford Ranger XLT extended cab, I got it two years ago a completely stock 3.0 (183) v6 with the a4ld automatic tranny. since then I have modified the throttle body, put in a new heater core, put in a cold air intake, put a Borg-Warner Distributor, rotor button and spark plug wires on it, NGK spark plugs, I run 93 octane gas, I have rebuilt the tranny and put a shift kit in it, as well as installing an upgraded tranny cooler, I cut off the muffler and one of the catalytic converters and ran straight pipe dual exhaust, I bull-dogged the rear end, but reinforced the suspension with small helper springs so I can still pull and haul stuff with it, put monroe gas-matic shocks all the way around, I run mobil 1 pure synthetic 5w-30, I changed the rear gear oil to Lucas pure synthetic because I liked the stock 3.55 gears in the rear-end they suit the truck quite well, I installed carbon fiber tail-lights, put diamond cut clear-corners and head-lights, installed a billet grille, tinted the truck all the way around with 5% tint with the eye-brow on the front, I installed vent shades, I put some 15x10" eagle bullet hole rims on it, with mastercraft avenger g/t tires, I also have a ford racing steering wheel cover, and a chrome ford racing license plate cover, it has new floor mats in the front, it has a diamond plated toolbox, red interior lights as well as red tag lights and red blinker lights to match the truck (its burgundy red), I also have 2 sony xplod 12's in the ext cab portion, with a 4000 watt Lanzar amp pushing them to boot. All in all it has been a good truck to me, not much breaks on it lol, it is pretty quick for the small motor and larger than stock rims and tires I have on it, it will run 117-120 mph top speed and it gets anywhere from 18-22.5 miles to the gallon depending on how heavy your foot is that week lol. But my next project is doing a v8 swap to it I think that will make it SWEET!!! and as soon as the v8 swap is finished I am repainting it factory color, but with a bit of metal-flake. I love my Ranger though I hope I keep it forever.
