1990 Ford Ranger STX review from North America
"Fun truck to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The 4 wheel drive hubs went out at 97000 miles.
After fixing the 4 wheel drive hubs the front axle snapped. (150 miles after replacing the hubs)
Motor always had a ticking sound when started cold.
The master cylinder for the brakes went out at 106000.
Back brakes went out at the same time as the master cylinder.
The rear axle went out at 106000.
General comments?
It's a great little truck that never got stuck or broke down in the middle of nowhere. It gets about 22 miles a gallon. Its the funnest little truck to drive when its working. it still starts up every time even in -10 bellow 0.
