1996 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"Danger here comes a 96 Ranger!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had the transmission syncro's replaced under warranty at about 15m miles. Nothing else except normal wear and tear parts, tires, brakes, etc.
General comments?
A great truck for the money. I am 6'1" and it is a regular cab so it is a little tight on a long trip, but I can't complain when I drive it like I stole it every single day and after 185,000 miles it is still as strong as the first day I bought it. I put a K&N air filter in it along with Bosch platinum 4 plugs and it screams. I would get another one, but with kids on the way I have to find a spot for car seats so here comes a new SUV.
