2001 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"A great vehicle that gives me everything I need out of a truck!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've only had the truck for a short time. In the short time I've owned this truck, I've had nothing go wrong. It shows no signs of anything going wrong either.
General comments?
This truck is everything you could want in a mid-size truck. It's got plenty of giddy up, with a very responsive gas pedal.
I think for a truck it rides like you would expect it to.
Gas mileage could be a little bit better for in town, but I'll gladly substitute gas mileage that I was getting on my previous vehicle (95 GMC Sonoma SL) for more power and 4WD.
The extended cab isn't much for long road trips and I use it more for storage of golf clubs, luggage, etc. The two suicide doors are a nice feature that allows easy access to those things that I store in the cab.
Overall, I recommend this truck to anyone looking for a compact, to mid-size truck. You won't find a better one out there for the money.
