2005 Ford Ranger XL review from North America
"Best Value in a compact truck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing. Of course I bought a base model Ranger. No frills. Manual everything. There isn't much to go wrong. I put three times the normal mileage in a year on it using it as a professional service truck, and frequently overloaded the box, but it held up to all of it.
General comments?
EXCELLENT FUEL ECONOMY! 30+MPG empty hwy, 22MPG fully loaded in town.
RELIABLE! No problems whatsoever with the vehicle everything worked as well when I traded it in on a bigger truck as when I bought it.
DURABLE! Moving, Pulling Trailers, and carrying equipment, this truck took it all.
RUGGED! Even took hunting on mountain roads in snow. No 4X4 needed.
GOOD LOOKING! Girls love trucks, and the new rangers are handsome.
