1992 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"Awesome truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 198,000 I replaced the tires with brand new Grabber At/2's and had an alignment done because winter was coming..
At about 200,000 I replaced the alternator.
That's about it.
General comments?
The 2.9 has good power, I don't get where people say they're under powered.. at least my 5spd truck has a good amount.. with almost 202,000 miles, the truck starts and runs just like it should.. drives great for a '92, and the stock radio is good too..
I've pulled people out of ditches, drove thru snowbanks when the plow guys decided to plow the bank across the road 1 day, and other than breaking the grille a little more than it was, didn't hurt a thing... drove snow covered roads with no issues in 4x4, sometimes it's fun to take it out of 4x4 and see just how bad the roads are.. it's not the best in the snow in 2WD, 4x4 is much better, but it's probably due to the high center of gravity...
I did take the truck off the road a month ago, but only because I bought a '98 Ranger 2WD for the summer
