2003 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"I'd buy another, it's great value for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This truck has been perfectly reliable and inexpensive to own.
General comments?
The truck handles well and has ample interior room, but the jump seats in the extended cab are a joke because no one could safely ride back there. The bucket seats (not the split bench) are comfortable and the adjustable lumbar support is a great addition.
The stock sound system is one of the best I've heard, as far as far as factory installed systems go.
The gas mileage is really sensitive to speed - above about 65 mph it starts to nose dive.
