1998 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"Reliable if you maintain her."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear Oxygen sensor, 60000
Transmission Pilot Bearing, 128650
Front Brakes Rotors, 131800.
General comments?
My truck is pretty darned reliable. All I have to do is maintain her regularly. I change her oil every 3000 or 3500 miles and flushed her radiator once. I got her with some seat-springs broken which have made a "hole" on the bottom of the backrest. Cool little pillow and she's good as new! As long as I treat her good (maintenance), She treats me good (runs).
