1991 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"Mechanically unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine threw a rod at 60,000 miles and had to be replaced. Engine problems again at 88,000 miles. Rear end transmission replaced at 96,000. Routine maintenance.
General comments?
For the regular maintenance we have put into this truck, it has given us mechanical problems and cost a lot of money. I would have not expected to have had to replace both the engine and rear transmission before the truck hit 100,000. Most of its driving has been cross country and city/rural. Not a lot of wear and tear has been put on, and it was not used for towing or any heavy use. I will not be buying another Ford Ranger.
