1992 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"Wish I could buy a brand new one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electric hubs failed at 45,000 - replaced with mechanical Warn hubs.
Head gasket blew at 55,000 - no trouble since.
Muffler and exhaust pipe has been replaced 4 times (not unusual for this area)
Rear brake line rusted out at 80,000.
Frame and undercarriage are getting very rusty.
General comments?
This little truck has been reliable and strong. Starts and runs well and has been used to tow a 3500 lb. boat on short hauls.
Extra cab design is a must for interior space.
4.0 l engine uses plenty of gas, but has a good power range for this vehicle.
