"An excellent truck. Highly recommended"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have had few issues other than my paint not looking quite as pretty as it used to.

ALSO my auto shifter knob is mis-aligned so that N is reverse and 2 is drive. It's been like that since I bought the truck; hasn't ever been a problem.

General comments?

This little truck is quick on acceleration and drives like a car.

This truck has had no mechanical issues, and has been serviced regularly.

I have driven across the country, and the gas tank will go for over 300 miles. Driving from San Diego to Yuma costs 8 dollars

10/10 on performance?

Are you serious?

I have a Ranger with the 4-cyl and stick shift. It is a nice enough truck and gets decent gas mileage, but even with manual trans, it is by no means "quick on acceleration"; I can only imagine what an automatic is like.

Your previous ride must have been a Chevette diesel or something equally sloth-like.

San Diego to Yuma is around 170 miles. If you are making that trip on $8 worth of gas (about 3 1/2 gallons), your truck is getting around 49 mpg. Or you are, somehow, buying gas for $1.50 a gallon. Neither of these scenarios would be likely.

Which leaves, of course, the third possibility: that your claim is not quite accurate?
