1992 Ford Ranger review from North America
"A good engine, but cheap interior parts"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I replaced the alternator twice in eleven years. Not bad I guess.
Replaced the starter once.
Replaced the clutch once.
Support structure collapsed under driver side of bench seat.
Uncomfortable to drive.
Factory cassette and receiver gave out.
Exterior paint oxidized on hood and roof.
General comments?
In spite of the miles on this four cylinder, the truck still runs good. Regular oil changes seem to keep it running good, but it burns oil quickly and has a small oil leak.
My biggest complaint is all the small and annoying interior problems. Seat collapsing, stick shift ball rattling, rear view mirror bracket on glass is a bad design, doors won't stay partially open, stereo dying, etc.
