1999 Ford Ranger Sport Stepside XLT review from North America
"Great truck, just treat it right!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had a rocky start, first a ball joint went.
Shortly after, the oil started to leak and I had to replace the rear main seal and the oil pan seal.
Finally, the rear brake assembly on the driver's side needed to be replaced.
Overall, I feel most of the problems with the truck were my fault for driving it a little too rough. I have since tamed my driving habits and the truck runs great.
General comments?
Has a rebuilt title.
Dealer was awesome with repairs and charged me half price on everything he did!
