1987 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"Took everything I threw at and asked for more!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tail lights and signals went out a couple times.
Seats have started to wear.
Muffler rusted out.
General comments?
I love my Ranger, it's the best thing that I could've stumbled upon.
It's been the most reliable vehicle I've ever come across. That little truck took everything I threw at it and asked for more!
I am currently buying another one, just 4x4 and V6, and not an in-line 4.
I had some small electrical gremlins at first, but after a bit they stopped. Unfortunately the transmission didn't last as long, and my engine and decided to break catastrophically. But I plan on putting another 5-speed in it.
