The truck I wish I could have kept

Date of Review:  Jun 23, 2005
The Bottom Line: My Ranger served me well for many years and I can't wait until a new one is sitting in the driveway.
Review: Background:

I was not in the market for a new car when I bought Old Blue. But one day I was on my way home from work and someone made a illegal left hand turn just as I entered an intersection and my 1992 Oldsmobile Achieva was no more...

Back to BASICS ! All years recommended.

Date of Review:  Apr 21, 2002
The Bottom Line: FORD has a consistent winner here - most drivers will prefer the V-6 engine for heavy loads. Very pleasing overall but watch out for costly repairs.
Review: Talk about suffering! After all the years of costly repairs, I made the mistake of buying another Toyota - a 1988 "4-Runner" - one that had 200K miles on it but one I fancied would be a 'hobby' car. One that I could tinker with and be able to drive...

The critics were right.

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2000
Review: I purchased my Ranger new in March of 1996. I purchased it because I needed a truck to use while remodeling a home, but I wanted a vehicle that would be small enough to commute to work.

I picked the Ranger over the other small trucks out...

Small with Large Capabilities

Date of Review:  Apr 24, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is a good truck to own because it gives you the capability of a truck with great gas mileage. It also is very reliable and easy to fix.
Review: Many people are saying that Dodge is the truck of the future and that no other truck compares to the new small Dodge pickups that are on the market. But this writer disagrees with this statement. The new dodge trucks are alright but can't quite...

Ranger at its best and keeps going!

Date of Review:  May 25, 2004
The Bottom Line: Buy this truck if at all possible. Only problems i have had is with the transmission but sounds like everybody else has them too.
Review: Bought my 1996 Ford Ranger xlt in August of 2003 used for $4850 booked for $7000. When i bought it it had 115k on it now it had 124k on it. Only thing that i have had to do to it was a new clutch and had the the fly wheel resurfaced. It comes with a...

Ford in Flight!!

Date of Review:  Mar 1, 2000
Review: In 1996 my husband and I were once again looking for "his dream truck." We were not too lucky it seemed when it came to buying vehicles. He saw this truck and all was said, he had to have it.

I was concerned about him buying a small truck...

The Ranger's Finest Year!

Date of Review:  Feb 19, 2008
Review: Let me just start off by saying that this truck is amazing and always surprises me. I have the 4.0 with a manual transmission and I can haul a 22 foot sail boat and throw anything into the bed with no problem. This car is very fast when you want it...

Not to impressed

Date of Review:  Dec 16, 2000
Review:
This vehicle was purchased used from a trusted lot. I have a low opinion on this truck because it has had many problems. First of all after purchase we found out that the factory alarm system did not work, and would be costly to fix. Then in...

1996 Ford Ranger XL 2.3 liter 5 spd manual

Date of Review:  Dec 25, 2003
The Bottom Line: bet this was an amazing car new, but for 137k, I think its still going strong, especially for an american car, which seems to die earlier.
Review: This is my first car and I have had it for about 6 months. So far, I have really enjoyed it.as with everything in the world there are its share of problems. It has about the power you would expect from a 2.3 liter truck. it is also amazing...

Worst Ever!

Date of Review:  Mar 23, 2007
The Bottom Line: Problems with almost every system on it. Stay away! I'll never buy another Ford in my life!
Review: This is positively the worst truck I have ever owned. I always drove Nissans before this, but I sold my old 93 Nissan ex. cab, and bought a newer 96 Ford Ranger STX model. This is the fancy model. It has Automatic, 4X4, all power options including...
