2000 Ford Ranger 4x4, XLT from North America - Comments

I own a 2003 Ford Ranger 4 wheel drive extra cab and have no trouble but the auto transmission. I had 93000 miles on it but it did not go out but was not acting just right. I work as a rural mail carrier so there is a lot of stop and go all day. I did buy the truck new and I still believe that the Americans companies are the BEST in the world by far.

I've got a 2000 Ranger XLT extended cab 4x4 with 4.0.

I turn the switch to go into 4x4 and the lights only blink for a couple of seconds. Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

All but a couple of ABS sensors going bad.

The truck has been great, except now the 4x4 is not working. Truck has 250.00 miles and still trucking.

I have 90000k on my 2000 Ranger 4x4 4.0. I have no problems and I beat the hell out of it. If a head gasket blows, I am not to worried about it. I had to replace one in my mother's 3.0 Camry. That was a nightmare.

We have the same problem as above with the 4wd not working. The lights blink and the 4wd does not work. 156k on the truck with auto transmission. Transfer case motor works but no power to the motor. We have heard about a relay somewhere but can't find it or any reference to it in manuals or auto parts stores. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

I had the 2000 Ranger XLT 4X4 Off Road Pkg. Reg cab flare side bed, 3.0L Flex fuel, automatic with 265/75-16 tires and got 24 MPG on the HWY. The MPG in the city and rural areas was were it suffered, 12-15 MPG. No problems with the tranny or the headgaskets. It was a great lil truck. Looking for a Super cab now since I need the extra space.

I have an 03 XLT Level II (4.0L Auto, 4:10 gearing) and I have used it for work AND on the trail. I've beat it up for two years and no major problems/repairs yet. Seems to be a tough truck so far. The stock suspension for the Level II is very durable. Stock Bilstein shocks front/rear and a Limited Slip diff in the rear is a great all around package for this little truck. This diff set up is great for the street compared to a straight live axle, but suffers off road as a locking rear would be better (which you can buy aftermarket).

Overall surprised with payload (I've loaded 2000lbs no probs.), and durability.

Complaints. fuel mileage, and rear seats are a joke :)
