1997 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"This truck is pretty dependable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had it had driven it less than 300 miles when I first got it and the check engine light came on.
The driver's side door handle is loose.
The sliding back glass window is a pain to close.
There is a bad vibration noise when when I push the clutch in before shifting between first and second gear.
General comments?
It needs more horsepower.
The truck is very reliable and gets good gas mileage.
