One problem is that the light for the airbag comes on now and then. When I brought it to the dealership, they said there was no problem and I was charged $50.00 just to hook the truck to the computer.
The driver side door has a constant squeak in it though. Just enough to drive me crazy.
I love this Ford Ranger, I just think it is completely under powered. I mainly stick to city driving which is not too bad, but when I do have to go on the interstate, it is a nightmare. The pick up is so incredibly slow that I have to punch the gas to make 70 miles per hour, which really killed gas.
I’ve been told not to buy a v-6 or automatic ranger, I guess now I know why, I have a ranger with the four cylinder, and manual transmission, mine had no trouble holding 80mph, and “sprinting” between 80-90mph, with the a/c on. I know this sounds fetched, I wouldn’t have believed it my self, if I hadn’t seen the needle with my own eyes.
The secret to driving the four cylinder manual is to keep the engine rpms between 2,000-3,000, i.e. rev to 3000 (+) rpm then shift up. I know this comes as no surprise to most readers, but many posters, call these trucks “under powered”. I thought for their truck’s sake, I’d TRY to teach them how to shift.
