1998 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"The ford ranger is a great and dependable truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far I have put on 3 power-steering pumps, but that was due to them putting in the wrong pump, finally the 3rd time they did it right. Other than that I have only put a thermostat on. Nothing else has been done to this truck except for a intake and a 70mm MAFS. It is a very tough truck. I have drove this truck for about 17k. I have run at the 1/4 track (ran a 17.5 @75mph) 15 plus times and also go four wheeling on the weekends once in a awhile and still feels and runs just like new.
General comments?
This is an a amazing truck. Extremly reliable and has some decent power. For anyone looking for a great truck this is what your looking for.
