Well I don't know if I like or dislike the Ranger.
The engine went out at 60,000 miles. Parts of the oil pan gasket wore away and got in the oil pickup. The engine was ruined after that.
After installing a remanufactured engine, the truck is still running.
After the engine was replaced, other things went out like air conditioner. At that time we had too much money in the vehicle so just kept on doing repairs.
Over the course of 14 years, we have probably put $5000 worth or repairs in the Ranger. This is on a commuter truck, never used for business use.
The 2.3 Liter engine belongs in an Escort, not a truck. No power.
I have a 1993 Ford Ranger XLT and it has giving me great sevice so far. I bought this truck from a dealer and it was parked under a tree cover with leaves and sape also the inside was a mess it had red clay dirt and dust all overe the interior and the transmission was makeing a noise which I was told all this befor I bought it, but at that time I needed a truck badly so I took it home washed it,took the seats, carpet out washed it and put it all back in it looked like a new truck inside, but the transmission went out the same day. I have a brother -in -law that bought transmission had 20,000 miles on it and put it in for me then about 6-8 months later the mother went on me got a used moetr 20,000 miles put that in and I'm still driving it to this day the truck it self had 200,000 + miles on it. I bought the truck for $3000.00 and what I put into it was around $2500.00 so I know what its like / I do agree with you that a 2.3 should not be in this truck because it doesn't have the power like it should have. I have people that pass me like I'm sitting still but the truck get s me where I want to go.
