2001 Ford Ranger Mail Truck review from North America
"1 million miles and going strong"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump several times.
A bunch of batteries.
Lots and lots of spark plugs and wires.
All maintenance stuff.
General comments?
Well, Ford must be holding out of us. 1.1 million miles on the original drivetrain.
This truck was made with the same engine as the Mail Carrier's engine for our local post office, and I can't tell you how reliable this thing has been. So much better than the original Ranger.
Of course, it's got no features, so nothing really goes wrong, but the few things it does have, all work. Radio, Speedo, Lights, and Wipers.
Anything that gets over a million miles on the original equipment is one heck of a vehicle.
Of course now it's tired, but it still starts everyday, so we keep using it.
Ford knows how to make a truck, now what I don't get is why they make them for US?
