1992 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"A very good truck for the money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch has been replaced twice. Once when the last owner had it, and again at around 180,000 miles. But this can be expected on a manual transmission.
A/C went out while the truck was still under warranty. It was fixed and there have been no problems since.
General comments?
Absolutely wonderful first vehicle!
Truck handles very well at high speeds (better than could be expected with an older single cab truck).
Great motor, I have had no problems with anything mechanical on the truck other than the clutch.
Lost my temper and punched a window out (don't recommend anyone doing that).
Has a surprising amount of power for the size motor and you can wind the gears out quite a bit. I'm not suggesting anyone try this, but I've had it up to 85 MPH in third gear-once.
I would recommend this truck to anyone who is just learning to drive or needs a work truck.
