1989 Ford Ranger XL review from North America
"I love driving my Ford truck, it is an efficient little machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All parts on the engine have rusted together, but no service has been needed other than oil changes and a new battery.
There was also a leak behind the windshield, but was relatively easy to repair with silicone.
General comments?
The truck is very reliable, especially after a new battery was installed.
The interior is simple, but easy to maintain, with all vinyl seats and floor.
A solid truck, a very economical transportation, with 29 mpg in the city and 32+ mpg highway.
