My rear drive shaft went bad at about 20,000 miles.
Various transmission problems.
Emission sensor went bad.
Ball joints went in the front.
Annoying vibration in steering column that "couldn't be found"
Gas mileage is OK, 15 city, 18 highway.
The truck has a comfortable interior and has plenty of good features, but I have had nothing, but problems with since the day I bought it.
Will not buy another Ford Ranger.
