2002 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"F.O.R.D. Fix Or Repair Daily"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The truck constantly overheats.
The transmission is ready to give out after only 72000.
The 3L V6 engine is getting less than 15 mpg.
General comments?
The interior of the truck is very comfortable given the limited space.
However, the engine and transmission are terribly inefficient and consistently unreliable.
