1987 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"It all depends on how your 87 Ranger is treated"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Many things have gone wrong with my Ranger. The motor had to be replaced because of a crank problem, the transmission had to be replaced because of a bearing problem, and the clutch, power steering pump, computer and fuel pump have all had to be replaced.
General comments?
Keeping in mind that the truck was made in 1987, it is natural that it will have problems. However, sometimes I wish that I had a Toyota instead of a Ford.
