1997 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"Built Ford Tough"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Never had a problem besides general maintenance (brakes, fluids, ball joints). But no major issues at all.
Very reliable.
Handles for crap in the snow.
Will whip you around if you hit a bump going 75mph on the highway.
Acceleration sucked.
It was a truck and it did what it was intended to do.
