2002 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"This is a very basic truck that's fun to drive in the city or off road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have been very pleased with my Ford Ranger so far. The only issue that has come up was at 12000 miles, the windshield wiper fluid line leaked. This was a very minor repair that took the dealer 30 minutes to fix.
General comments?
Overall the truck has a very smooth ride, especially with a little weight in the bed of the truck.
The engine is very responsive at all speeds and has plenty of power in 5th gear at 75mph.
The interior is very basic, but very well laid out. The heat and AC work very well. The upgraded stereo is well worth the money considering there seems to be some wind noise in the cab of the truck.
In four wheel drive the truck sticks to the road in the snow, I feel very comfortable driving it in any weather situation.
