1994 Ford Ranger XL review from North America
"Cheap... but not enough power for my liking"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to change the alternator at about 190000
ball joints went.
Has terrible gas mileage for the size of engine (in cold weather)
Power power power power..!! or the lack of!!
Not enough room in cabin I have long legs and the standard cab isn't forgiving.. seat doesn't go back far enough..
General comments?
The truck is very reliable..
Looks good and are relatively cheap to buy... and there are a lot of performance parts available.. I intend on putting a 302HO in it in the summer... and it's a simple task.. if you have the know-how.
