2001 Ford Ranger XLT 4X4 review from North America
"Although a little expensive, it has been relatively trouble free."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The interior overhead light had a wire connection that caused it to work intermittently.
Needed to have some repair done to the drive train due to loose fittings that caused a clunking noise when stopping and accelerating.
All work done has been under warranty.
General comments?
This pickup has given good performance from the 4 liter V6.
I like its looks although the plastic covers on the sides of the bed aren't necessary.
I find it comfortable to ride in for long trips.
