1995 Ford Ranger XL review from North America
"Good bargain truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The heater core had a leak. To replace it, the whole dash has to come out on this model. Talk about a pain. The replacement heater core then started to leak after only 10,000 miles.
The clutch slave and master cylinder both went out. I changed the throw out bearing and clutch plate at the same time. The master cylinder CANNOT be bled on the vehicle. It must be bled ahead because of the angle.
I cannot believe no one else has mentioned the common windshield wiper fantom on this truck. They come on whenever and where ever the want.
The truck has always run rough. The dealer says its normal?
General comments?
Good overall performance for a 4 cylinder. I should have bought the 6 cylinder.
Seats and interior are good.
