2005 Ford Ranger XLT review from North Cyprus
"Best Value Pick-up I've seen"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really. Just a few squeaks here and there.
The right right suspension is slightly creaky, and there is occasional brake squeaking, but all really due to the amount of dust I'm driving through as I am involved in construction.
Only grumble is the light rear end, which combined with dust, water, and not keeping permanent 4 wheel drive, means I tend to slide out of junctions. Easily fixed with some large sandbags over the rear arches.
General comments?
Great car, has not given me any problems.
Nice and comfortable inside, and really nicely finished off with a Blaupunkt stereo, which is fantastic sound quality for going out on a night!
