1996 Ford Ranger XL Super Cab 4WD review from North America
"Best truck made, buy one yourself"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
U Joints had to be changed at 213,000.
Brakes changed at 196,000.
Front hubs were changed with Warn manual Lockers.
General comments?
Great truck.
4WD is great.
6 inch lift with 31 inch Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radials.
Very good in the mud.
Lower Gearing is great (Dana 65 rear diff)
Warn hubs are better then the stock ford ones.
K&N Cold air intake and performance exhaust increases power significantly.
