1990 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"Definitely Built Ford Tough"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had surface rust on the bottom when we first got it. This has since been removed.
Battery is not the best, but it is not the stock battery.
General comments?
My dad was in the market for a truck back in 2004. He looked at all the brands, and we got our '91 Ford Ranger XLT Long Bed, with a 2.9L V6, and a 5-speed manual tranny.
This truck is great, especially for its age and mileage. Perfect for yard work, or as a daily driver. Gets okay gas mileage. Performance is alright - it's no Mustang GT, but it moves. Also, I learned how to drive manual on it. Very tough little truck, definitely built Ford tough. Definitely recommended if you're in the market for a pickup. There's a reason Ford continues to dominate the truck market.
