1999 Ford Ranger Extended Cab XLT review from North America
"A very forgiving truck for a teen who treats it worse than a riding mower"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Windshield wipers went haywire after I finished offroading. But later learned it was then recalled.
The Wilderness AT tire in the rear has 6 plugs in it right now and I'm wondering how many more it can take.
The drivers side electronics have gone out for some reason.
General comments?
This truck has the toughest coat of paint I've ever seen. It's been through rocks, thorns, tree branches and other items.
Right from the factory the 4x4 system really kicks, I've beaten every other stock compact truck off road. Also the shocks and suspension on it are amazing.
The seats are very comfortable, except when passed out drunk in the drivers seat. My legs hit the firewall.
