1987 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"It's paid for itself many times over again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition module at 340,000.
Replaced exhaust numerous times.
Fuel pump at 320,000.
Normal replacement parts (Shocks, tires, brakes).
General comments?
It's been a very good truck and we did not baby it. We've hauled home a ton of shingles with it (literally). It's also been though about 4 car/deer accidents and we still work it like it was a brand new truck.
The body is pretty rusted, but underneath it's still like a brand new truck.
