1999 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 review from North America
"Expensive to repair, but a fun truck.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1 - Fuel pump 28 days after I bought it
2 - Thermostat - day I bought it
3 - Door Ajar light stays on - day I bought it
4 - Transmission went out at 123000
5 - Terrible howl up front - not the tires
6 - Thunk in driveline in rear and front. Dealership cannot seem to fix it
7 - Thermostat again at 128000 - caused severe overheating and cracked both heads...
General comments?
Very fun truck to drive, despite a new fuel pump. New 3500 dollar transmission, cracked heads and numerous other crap... I'd own another one...
Some idiot owned this truck before me and I was too dumb to notice the problems before I bought it... they towed too much with this truck...
If added up the repairs and tow costs, it's be about 7000 bucks...
What do you think...
