1995 Ford Ranger Super Cab review from North America
"Buy it if you're good at electrical repairs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Temperature gauge fluctuated wildly while it was still under warranty, and it was very unnerving to see the temperature gauge needle soar towards Hot. Several trips to the dealer accomplished nothing, so I eventually fixed it myself.
Windshield wipers came on unexpectedly, which is very dangerous if the windshield is dirty, while driving 70 mph on the freeway. Suddenly, a huge opaque smear was on the windshield. Again, I had to replace all possible offenders to correct problem. Dealer was useless.
A condition where the truck's open door alarm, "ding ding ding" would stay on for minutes while I was driving with the door securely closed. The dealer did know the cause of the problem, but charged me $900 to fix it. I honestly can't describe what they replaced. It was something on top of the engine.
General comments?
Engine performance is good.
Electrical performance is horrible.
A nice interior.
I enjoy driving this truck.
