1994 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problems so far have been: a) Power window motor on pass. side died, and b) The brakes have been a hassle. The brakes have really been the only consistent problem. Front rotors have had to be turned 2-3 times and now the front brakes need to be replaced. All other things going "wrong" are what I consider routine maintenance, like a new clutch at 95,000 miles.
General comments?
This vehicle has been outstanding. The brake problems mentioned above are not a big deal, I guess if something had to be wrong with this truck, brakes are about as easy and cheap as they come. Considering the miles I have piled up on this truck (115,000 in 5.5 years) this truck has been great, very few problems. It is comfortable, reliable, a great truck. If I didn't need to find a truck where I can put a baby seat in the back, I wouldn't be getting rid of it. And if Ranger came in a Quad cab, I wouldn't be looking at the Dakota.
