1993 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"Power Ranger"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After a year I had to replace the muffler, valve cover gaskets, breaks and upper and lower front ball joints. This is what happens when you buy it used and abused. The next problem I have was a bad case of bad mechanics. When they replaced the motor mounts it caused a leak in the transmission. I have to add a quart of fluid ever 2 weeks after they worked on it.
At 50,000 miles I had to replace the starter and battery. At present (67,000 miles) I just replaced spark plugs and wires. Every time I start the engine it smokes a lot! When I stop at a red light the engine starts to run rough. Otherwise I like the truck. 4 wheeling is awesome in the winter time. I carried all the lumber and stone when I built my 20'x20' deck on the house.
General comments?
The big V6 4.0L provides enough horsepower, POWER RANGER!!!
4X4 is Awesome in the snow.
Cheap and low cost to operate.
