2005 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"Best small pickup on the market!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far everything is perfect!
General comments?
My Ranger is a regular cab long bed and is 2wd. I use it for commuting to work and hauling various items. I bought it specifically so I could easily transpost my motorcycle. The Ranger drives beautifully and predictably on road. The 3L makes enough power for hauling and is more than enough for what I need it to do. Fuel mileage is a steady 22 MPG combined city and highway, the best I got was 26 MPG highway.
