1994 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"My Ranger is highly reliable, fun to drive, and comfortable, but it is underpowered"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced Manual Trans at 89,000 miles, that was expected.
New Tires twice, Firestone recall, and once again at about 70,000.
Driver Seat cushion shot on left side.
General comments?
Extremely reliable.
Fun to drive.
Engine too weak 98HP, but it is a weak 4 cyl.
Manual trans very reliable.
Hauls well.
Excellent stock sound sys, replaced after blew at 75,000.
