"An underpowered, but reliable truck"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The only time it's failed to start on me is when the battery terminals broke.

Just normal repairs.

General comments?

This truck has a sorry lack of power, so don't try to haul anything with it.

You can't even get rubber with first gear, which is pathetic. I could get rubber in first, second, and third with my S-10, and the engine isn't even that much bigger.

The interior lasts a long time.

I have a 97 Ranger with the 2.3 EFI manual and I don't what there doing wrong, but I can get rubber in first easily and on a good day into second (dry conditions). Plus, with a puny 2.3, what do you expect, it isn't a hauler or a work truck, it is simply a truck to get around in.

We have a 87 with a 2.9 and it will burn the tires off. It also has a lot of torque (pulling power) at low revs. So if you buy another one get a V-6.

I have a 95 with the 2.3 and I don't know what your doing wrong or what iam doing right I can get my truck to burn out really easy in first second and sometimes third. stock engine with 160,000 thousand miles on it so something is wrong with your truck.
