1998 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"A great truck with not so great seating"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Interior light switch went bad.
Passenger side air bag switch went bad.
Ball joint on the driver's side went bad at 32,000 miles.
All problems covered under the warranty.
General comments?
Overall the Ranger is a fine truck. The seats, however, are horrendously uncomfortable. There is little, if any, lumbar support.
