Adjustable lumbar support like to break when you push back too hard. ie: adjusting yourself in the seat.
A few bulbs have gone out in the instrument cluster and climate control head.
Two lower and one upper ball joint developed some play after 100000km (not bad) especially for what I put it through.
The 4.0L is notorious for sticking thermostats (open or closed). Have replaced it every 50000km with cooling system flush.
A belt squeal developed at 140000km which was close to impossible to get rid of until I replaced the water pump pulley. That solved the problem for good.
I am a tech at Ford so generally speaking I would have to say that the Ranger is probably one of Ford's more reliable vehicles. They are hardly in the shop for repair, just mostly maintenance. My truck has been extraordinarily great for me and I really have no complaints about it. I have enjoyed driving it for 156000km and I know I will enjoy getting a lot more than that out of it.
I have a 1999 ford ranger and something is wrong up front I'm guessing upper and lower ball joints maybe. But other than a replacement of water pump at 60,000 miles truck runs great.
