1996 Ford Ranger XL review from North America
"It's an overall good truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The door chime started and did not stop at around 110,000, the sensor was bad.
At around 125,000, the door chime started and the cab light would not go off. The new solution to the problem was to get out the screwdriver, pop off the door panel and disconnect it.
For the last 20,000km, every time I put any strain on the truck, there is a rumble in it. The mechanic found nothing, but I hear it.
General comments?
It took me everywhere I wanted to go.
The cab was very bright when the light was hooked up!
