1996 Ford Ranger Base review from North America
"Fun loving dream mobile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, this truck is awesome. Although it could use a different transmission, it is still a bulldog. I like to take this thing and play in mud and gravel every time I get a chance to. It gets 32 miles per gallon on country roads.
Oh yeah, the seat is beginning to rip up.
General comments?
I recommend this truck for teenagers who are into their 2nd or 3rd vehicle - it handles good, will slow them down (did me), and will save you and them money. In parking lots I can do donuts like mad while pealing out in drive or reverse. Believe me, it is cool.
