2002 Ford Ranger Edge review from North America
"A great looking, reliable workhorse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Total transmission failure at 8000 km. Had to be hauled to the dealer.
Transmission still jumps from gear to gear sometimes even after the repair. Ford must have transmission problems as my 1993 Ranger did the same.
Belt molding kept falling off on the driver's side door.
General comments?
Great looks in the Edge package.
Put a fiberglass lid on the bed and a bush grille on the front. I get a lot of complements on the looks of the truck.
The gas consumption is a little high, but it is to be expected for a V6 engine.
Ford still has not learned that "service" is part of the purchase. Every dealer I seem to go to either tries to rip me off or does not do the repair properly. My I suggest that Ford goes to a Toyota dealership one day and take some notes on service.
I had a 1993 Ranger and got almost 300000 km out of it.
