1999 Ford Ranger 2.5 TD Double Cab 4x4 review from UK and Ireland
"A pillar of strength, and economical"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This truck is as strong as an ox. It is mainly used for work, but is equally good at family duties. Very practical for the self-employed family man, as you can get away with owning just one vehicle. Instead of owning a car and a van, this truck fills the role of both.
Love the high driving position, it feels safe and sturdy. Loads of carrying space (obviously), and a hardtop keeps the load bed secure.
2.5 Turbo Diesel engine is unburstable and very economical.
Choppy handling, but its no sports car so you expect it and drive it carefully.
