1994 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"The most reliable vehicle I (or anyone in my family) have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My transmission blew without warning at 150,000 miles.
Currently, I'm experiencing some engine vibrations and knocking noises.
General comments?
This truck has been very tough. I have used it as a ranch truck, and it has survived some very hot summers.
However, it doesn't seem to like gravelly or wet roads. The wheels tend to spin out.
I have had no problems with leaks or overheating. In the time I've had it, I have only had to add coolant two or three times.
