1985 Ford Ranger review from North America
"Excellent small truck. Its performance was great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Body fell apart after 300,000 miles.
Head liner fell.
Seats cracked.
General comments?
I had a 1985 Ford Ranger with a factory 2.3L turbo diesel in it. It is far the best Ranger out there.
I would like to buy another one, but there are just a few on the road now.
50+ mpg.
The body fell apart, and the engine almost ran down the road by itself; it was still very healthy engine, which did not smoke, but used a little oil. GO FIGURE.
