Ford Ranger

"I think that this truck handles very well. The ride is firm, but not punishing. The acceleration is adequate, but not outstanding, particularly when loaded, or pulling a load."

"The truck fish tails every time it rains or snows. We have to buy new sand bags for the back every year."

"Actually, acceleration & handling are OK, but it's the climate control I dislike. The intensity of air, and which vents it comes from, will change, depending on the speed and acceleration of the vehicle. In fact, if the vehicle is going at high speed, the air conditioning shuts down, almost completely. Once the speed of the vehicle slows down, the AC resumes. At random, the air will come out of the front vents and then stop coming out of there, switching to the vents along the bottom of the"

"Slow on the uptake. Hesitation before things get moving. Poor gas mileage; I'm happy to get 16mpg, which is rare."

"This is a simple utilitarian truck that does the job around the property pretty well."

"For a nearly 20 year old truck it still does the job. I’m keeping this one for a while longer."

"I modified My Ranger Super Cab,So with new Engine,Transmission,Front and Rear Ends,and Programer,Jet,It is very Fast for an Automatic ! Handles Great,keeping in Mind,It is a Heavy Duty Off Road 4x4 ! It will do 80 MPH on My Mountain Here !I have to let off at that Speed,as I turn off to My Road!"

"The truck drives like a truck (stiff rough ride over rough roads). It accelerates excellently."

"I purchased the 6 cylinder. Acceleration is there when I need it with no hesitation."

"3.0 engine is very slow"

"The Ford Ranger is my husband's truck. When I drive it I and comfortable and the manual shifting is smooth. Being a smaller person It is often hard to see while driving other trucks not our Ranger I can see all around the truck. I has a quick response to the gas petal. For me it is fun to drive."

"acceleration and handling are good. 4L, 6 cylinder engine required major overhaul at 70,000 miles -- very costly.. Ride is rough but this is accepted as it is intended for possible "off roading" as a 4x4 vehicle. With little weight on the rear end, it is dangerous on icy roads as it has lost traction and veered out of its lane of traffic (thankfully no crashes or injuries)."

"Is no power house that's for sure. Handles like, well, the truck that it is. I.e. awkwardly."

"Have a small V-6, but wish I had ordered the larger V-6. Somewhat sluggish on a steep incline and in acceleration on an interstate, especially when there is an incline."

"Mediocre acceleration."

"powerful engine, and car like handling"

"Slow to get moving."

"good for both"

"It's a little sluggish on excelleration, but handles well"

"Easy to handle at all times."

"This has been a great car because I use several ways. It still look like new."

"Seats are not comfortable, the air conditioning stopped working, it is very noisy"

"Everything is great about the comforrt of the seats, climate control and noise. The ride is a little rough on some roads because we did not get 4 wheel drive. It will sort of slide instead of holding the road."

"The defroster takes forever to clear the windshield & the heater barely gets going before I get to work. Too many blind spots to feel good about changing lanes or parking."

"a lot of noise and the ride is stiff."

"Seats as comfortable as an automobile"

"Noisy, rough ride -- bounces over potholes."

"Drivers seat is uncomfortable"

"The Ranger is a work truck and nothing more. The seats we knew when we bought it were it's worst feature. We did not buy it to take on trips."

"The headliner has started to fall but otherwise the seats look great and they've never had seat covers on them. The ride is like a truck so I can;'t really complain about it. Noise is fair, worse when at highway speeds."

"COMFORTABLE, EASY TO ADJUST"

"ride very stiff, hard"

"I am rather tall and still fit quite comfortably - ride smoother than I would expect in a truck."

"Keeps on "tickin'"..."

"Ranger seats (esp driver) are know for wearing out early. Mine did too. I replaced them 3 years ago at 120000 miles with cheap "racing" seats I bought on eBay"

"They are terrible, poor quality and uncomfortable on long trips. It is very noisy and bunny ride. I have never liked it but husband won't part with it, yet he agrees about criticisms"

"The ranger has held up great considering the milage"

"The engine needed a major overhaul at 70,000 miles"

"15 years of driving with only manufacturers maintenance done. no breakdowns"

"I purchased the Ford Ranger from a friend when it had only 35,000 miles. It still has low mileage, about 40,000 and still runs great."

"We needed a 4 wheel drive utility/truck vehicle. We bought this truck used for $12000 12 years ago and it has served our needs very well in that time"

"Got a good deal, paid less than what others were adking"

"It's smaller size that the Ford 150 is a real plus for me when I cart around my two Boston terrier's who lay on a bench I made that fits across the 2 jump seats behind the front seats. The back cargo area is big enough to carry groceries and other items that are bigger like appliances and lumber."

"A good value great truck runs great!"

"We purchased this truck used for a price that was lower than average. The truck looked brand new and the mileage was low. It is a good size for our needs."

"need to keep your maintaince up."

"Won the truck"

"We purchased this pickup for 11 years ago when it was5 years old and it has served us very well. We replaced the clutch but that cost was small when averaged over the period that we owned the car. Buying a good vehicle when it is five years old and keeping it for a decade or more save a huge amount of cash."

"No major expenses until 80,000 miles at 15 years. Regular maintenance along the way."

"The now-discontinued Ranger was a good value for me, at $10000 used in '05 with a 4.0 V6 and 4WD. The torsion bar suspension ride is less comfortable than coil springs would be, but for my use it's tolerable."

"gas mileage"

"This was not a very expensive truck it has served me very well for over 16 years. I will keep until ???? Forever."

"I needed a vehicle dependable that wouldn't let me down and that fit our budget. I leased the Ranger for 3 years and then bought it. This fitted the criteria and provided a way to move things. For the price, I think it was our best option overall."

"I bought the Ranger for my son when he started college. He drove it for 7 years and when he bought a new pickup, I kept the Ranger. Great utility vehicle and we have several friends who borrow it. Minimal maintenance costs over the years."

"It is over 19 years old and has been in the shop only once for a transmission gasket replacement. Still runs like a top."

"Had for 18 years. Maintain regularly with no major problems except those that go with age."

"It still runs good! Very little maintenance or repair costs."

"They're not sold anymore so It would not do anyone any good."

"Driving vehicle for 18+ years Low maintenance."

"Great truck."

"Has held up well over the years with typical maintenance and only a couple other pairs (water pump) but never the clutch or engine. At 185,000 it still has the same torque and drive. It's value was A+ comparing it to a Toyota."

"This truck still runs smoothly. I've rebuilt most of the parts over the years; the truck has held up exceedingly well. I am extremely satisfied with this workhorse."

"if need be would look for exact replacement Does everything well"

"Got a great price with great financing and have gotten a lot of good use from this vehicle."

"This vehicle has been a good investment. No significant repairs in 17 years of ownership."

"We've had the ranger for many years and it has been a reliable work horse for us. We just wished Ford still made a smaller pickup today like the Ranger"

"REASONABLE GOOD"

"over 200k miles and only reasonable repair expenses"

"This truck has been an incertable value. no problems in all these years"

"Just the right size for every day use."
