2006 Ford Ranger Sport review from North America
"Good truck for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light came on at 12000 miles.
General comments?
I like the comfort and overall design of my Ranger.
It gives no trouble pulling 1800lbs. of trailer and ATV's 36 miles one way. I have also put almost a ton of egg rock in the back and hauled it home. I do not recommend anyone do this that lacks driving experience. I could only drive 35 mph with this load, but my truck never let me down. However it did make me nervous.
The one complaint is the complete lack of throttle response from a dead stop with the a/c on.
Overall this is a good looking and tough truck. Can't really complain.
