2000 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"Great truck, I would reccommend this to anyone who wants a truck for light work around the house"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really, the door ajar light does come on and stay on occasionally, I may need to get that looked at, nothing big though.
General comments?
This truck has been very reliable for me.
The 2.5L 5 speed manual is a great combo. It may not be the most powerful truck in the world, but you can't beat 25 mpg with a truck. The manual transmission cuts down on a lot of the maintenance problems that some people have the automatics.
I got this truck to get me to and from college. It's not the best interstate traveler in the world, but I love it and plan on keeping it through the rest of college, which is another 3 years.
