Frame rotted out, had to pay $1,000 to get it fixed.
Brake lines rotted out.
Rotors cracked.
Passenger side windshield wiper stopped working.
Both rear cab mounts rotted out.
Door handles broke.
Engine runs great, but has smoke coming out of it sometimes.
Solenoid went.
Gas gage stopped working.
Gas tank straps rotted out.
Parking brake cable rusted and needed to be replaced.
The truck runs great. The small 2.9L has a lot of power and gets good gas mileage, at least with the 5 speed.
The truck is just so unreliable, it's crazy, and many of these problems are with all Rangers. I know about 10 people with Rangers from various years, and they all have many problems. I would recommend staying as far away from the Ford Ranger as you can, unless you're buying it brand new.
I have owned three Rangers within 15 years. The inner door cable problem I have now is the first problem I've had. First a 1988 2.9l, 1992 4.0l, and a 2004 Supercab Ranger, also 4.0l, all automatics and 4x4.
