2004 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"Good Truck, Great Price, Awesome Engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The knob for the lights stripped and was 20 dollars for the replacement part.
Some rattles come from around the rear window and are quite annoying.
General comments?
The truck has a lot of power and really pulls hard. The engine is by far the best thing on this truck. Gobs and gobs of torque from a little truck. My buddy has an S10 with the 4.3 liter Vortech and the ford absolutley kills that engine.
It rides really rough, but it's a truck so what do you expect.
Some of the interior pieces are pretty cheap.
The sound system is great for a bottom of the barrel system.
It is more quiet then I expected, but you can tell the integrity is not up to par with some other cars because the wind noise is slowly getting louder and louder.
Overall a really great bargain for a good little truck.
