1987 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"I wouldn't hesitate to buy another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I snapped the bolts on the starter and bent the frame racing a friend off-road.
The clutch just went at 189000 along with the u-joints and the coil springs and the head gasket (I drive it really hard). The power windows don't work (checked the fuse and that wasn't it so I ignored it).
General comments?
This truck runs well and held up well till I got it (I got it from a friend of my parents so I know the history of the truck). If you drive it carefully it will last you forever, but if you drive it like Bo Duke your going to have a lot of fun with.
