1994 Ford Ranger XL review from North America
"A reliable vehicle with a low price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had tire flats at short intervals for no apparent reason.
The heat shield covering the exhaust system loosened up annually.
General comments?
This pickup was bottom of the line, had a "brisk" ride, and never had a major problem. It was not economical on fuel for its size and was not particularly comfortable, but that was fine. It was stolen when it was five years old.
