The Story Begging To Be Told...Or Why We Are a Chevy Family

Date of Review:  Aug 22, 2000
Review: In 1991, our company was given a little navy blue 1988 Ford Ranger 2-door regular cab pickup from the parent company. Now mind you, this truck only had about 50,000 miles on it so it wasn't really overworked for 3 years of previous use for a work...

Ranger Yuck

Date of Review:  Mar 13, 2000
Review: I have a 1988 Ford Ranger. I have owned it since it was new. Unless Ford had improved them since I bought mine, I will never own another one. This truck has lived up to the old quip Found on Road Dead. When the truck turned 90 thousand miles the...

88 Ranger still "Truckin"

Date of Review:  Jan 29, 2000
Review: Over the last 30 years I've owned several pickups for home use.
By far the best service I've received from any pickup is this 1988
Ford Ranger.
It has the "King Cab", with 4 wheel drive. In the 10 years, (I
bought it used.),we've had...

Great mechanics, Horrible Paint

Date of Review:  Nov 27, 1999
Review: I bought a 1988 Ford Ranger XLT, 4 x 4 Extended cab brand new in late 1988. I now have almost 300,000 miles on it. It is still running strong. I have never had any major repairs on it, just the usual brakes, tune-ups, etc. I have driven it across...

Never Dies

Date of Review:  Oct 31, 2004
The Bottom Line: This is a good vehicle and proved to be reliable for the 11 years that I owned it.
Review: I had my Ford Ranger for 11 years and sold it last month so I feel that I am well qualified to review the 88 ranger. My Ranger had the 2.9L V6 engine with EFI and a 5 speed manual transmission. It was a 4x4 and had the extended cab.

I was...

Excellence in trucks

Date of Review:  Aug 1, 2000
Review: Who can say anything bad about a Ranger. It is one of the best selling compact trucks ever. I recently bought a 88 STX supercab for $500 (well below book) Although it was beat almost to death by the previous owner, a little tune-up and neglected...

1988 Ford Ranger Pickup

Date of Review:  Aug 6, 2000
Review: My husband chose to purchase this vehicle because he needed either a pick-up or a van, since he is in the flooring business and often has to carry large amounts of carpet, vinyl, and/or tile. He was a little leary about buying a 1988 model year...

A great little truck

Date of Review:  May 17, 2000
Review: I bought this truck, because it looked nice, ran good, and handled very well. This truck is a very rare truck as what I found out, there were less than 1,000 made each year for two years. It is like a low rider with the ground effects and can be...
