1994 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"Not a bad value; decent basic truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So for, I have had no problems with my Ranger except that I think it's underpowered. I hear it's not a great engine for power. The complaint I had from day one was the very annoying door chime that chimed all the time, but I disabled that. It was not useful.
General comments?
It has run well, always started, survived one complete battery drain. With the original suspension is was very bouncy and always all over the road so I felt compelled to buy an aftermarket suspension after about 6 years. Also, I bought an aftermarket exhaust to try to get a little more power. This has helped a little.
