1996 Ford Ranger XLT Super Cab review from North America
"A great get around town truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head liner is always wet after rain, not bad enough to re-seal back window yet.
Dome light started not going out at 30,000 miles, simple fix, cleaned contacts on switch.
Numerous flats with the original Firestone tires. These have been replaced.
71,000 miles hanger bearing, u-joints replaced.
General comments?
My 1996 Ranger has been a reliable source of transportation for the past 7 years. It looks good, its quick yet I would hesitate taking it on a long trip due to the seating.
