2001 Ford Ranger XL review from North America
"You get what you pay for. Not a lot!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission problems at 80,000, costing $1750 to fix.
Engine runs rich causing muffler problems every 4-6 months.
Poor acceleration and Power.
Horrible Gas milieage. It is projected to get 25 city (Only getting 18-19) and 20 city (only getting 13-15).
Extremely bumpy ride.
General comments?
Other than problems listed above the car has been reliable, but expected a lot more from a Ford (Built Ford Tough, doesn't say much for what a Tough means to Ford). although, It is a nice style small truck and I am not ashamed of this ride.
