1993 Ford Ranger XLT Supercab review from North America
"Beauty or a Beast?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The 4wd transfer case motor died after only 2 seasons in the snow. Ford should just use a manual shifter instead of the unreliable on-the-fly button.
Gas gauge went out at 100,000 miles.
Now there is a tremendous ping, as well as overheating, that occurs on slight inclines. The problem is still unknown. Also, the timing seems to miss at freeway speeds, only after about 100 miles of nonstop driving?? Still no known remedy to my knowledge for that?
General comments?
Other than the above mentioned, the car has given me few problems. It's a good everyday truck for use around town. It has a decent payload and can pull a trailer fairly well.
