1988 Ford Ranger SLT review from North America
"Just plain fabulous"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blower Motor 250,000 miles.
Ball Joints finally worn, but not gone 298,000 miles.
Clutch needs replacing.
Changed brake pads front and rear 275,000.
Fuel system needed cleaning 240,000.
General comments?
Bought this little bugger for $1500, and got two solid years out of it. It is still running well - leaking a bit, but at nearly 300,000 miles, that's to be expected!! What a truck.
