At about 120,000 miles, we had to replace the transmission. This is the only major item we have had to replace since we have owned this vehicle. It now needs a new clutch. This will be the first time we have had to replace it. Other than this we have only had to replace minor things such as air filter, belts, etc. You can just now tell it's getting several miles on it with its rattles and other unidentified noises.
I drive this vehicle every day back and forth to work and until about 3 months ago it was driven about everywhere we went. We live in the country where there are many dirt roads, one of which we live on. This truck has had constant rough terrain to travel on.
I bought a Ford Ranger new in 1991, up to this year all I have done was put a timing belt on it, there has been the little expected things like light bulbs etc.
The truck I bought has 150,000 miles on it and they are hard miles. I use it on the farm every day and I have put tool boxes all the way around the bed so it is pulling extra weight. As of right now I am rebuilding the motor due to a small knock, it was mainly from the wear.
All in all I am very pleased and the next truck that I will buy will be another Ranger. Keep up the great work Ford!!!
