Ford Ranger

"Acceleration is truck like as it is a truck . It is not a racing car. Being a truck the ride is very firm but that is what you would expect."

"It has quick acceleration, and the 4x4 feature is excellent in the winter snow and on icy roads."

"With a V6 engine and relatively light pick-up truck, it has terrible acceleration!!! this even after a complete tuneup."

"Hopelessly underpowered four cylinder"

"It rides like a truck although handling is better than you would expect. The engine has low power for a V-6."

"Great acceleration and handling. Tires very strong"

"It handles well and for a four banger it accelerates well."

"It is a dependable vehicle"

"I wish it got better gas mileage."

"Cruise control is spot on."

"It gets the job done for casual pickup uses like camping, and hauling small loads or an ATV. It is not particularly exciting to drive but never seems to let me down."

"With a 4.0 V6 and it’s small size, the Ranger is good on acceleration and handling in the area of the country where I live."

"While it drives fine, it handles poorly with parking situations."

"poor acceleration even when floored. Poor gas mileage"

"Not responsive Cramped"

"comfort is good for a 4x4 off road capable small truck"

"The ride is fairly smooth for a truck (ie: not real stiff and bumpy). I like the contour of the seats and the unibody construction (no separate adjustable headrest. The ride is really quiet with the Michelin tires I have on it."

"It rides like, well, a truck with fatigue setting in quickly on longer trips."

"Noisy ride."

"Very comfortable for long distance driving."

"Ride is rough and handling clumsy. Buckets seats are supportive but a bit hard. Access to the rear storage area behind the seats is really tough. So much so that we avoid using it."

"I’m 6’2‿. Really not enough leg room and I didn’t get air conditioning either which was a mistake"

"Poor interior design for taller people"

"Driver's seat has plenty of adjustments for comfort. Moving the foot pedals is easy and useful."

"The limited adjustment of the seats make it very difficult to get tool boxes, etc into the area behind the seat of the extended cab.."

"Truck has been very reliable"

"I have not had to have any major repairs on this vehicle since I bought it, just the usual routine maintenance, tires and battery"

"Good truck for the money"

"Great value"

"Our Ranger is a champ for what it is designed to do: carry loads anywhere you need it to go. A truck like this is not intended to be glamorous or thrilling, but we'll probably keep it forever because of how versatile it is."

"after 14 yrs of ownership the vehicle is still worth 1/2 of what I paid for it and is running well."

"I feel that I have gotten very good value for my Ranger. I have used it for personal and business purposes, including heavy towing, with high reliability. It has over 200,000 miles on it with no major breakdowns."

"great value fo price"

"My 2004 Ford Ranger is still running after 14 years. I have no plans to part with it."

"Price performance value all out standing only issue front end remains good resale value"

"I bought this vehicle for my long commute for better gas mileage and still have truck when I needed it"

"As a basic small truck, the Ranger is very versatile and is reliable and easy to maintain."

"It is a good vehicle"

"Many problems,both front wheel bearings,starter,rust,rust,rust."

"The truck still runs good and looks good after 14 years."

"It was a great deal at the time"

"Mixed bag - the truck was larger than I had wanted, but the maintenance has been negligible so far (85,000 km). I purchased it used and likely over-paid by about 10%, but it did fit most of the features for which I was searching, and there were not a lot on the market at that time; I am a bit confused that Ford has discontinued the model - on the plus side, the present value is holding up well."

"It's a very dependable little truck. Hauls garbage with the best of them."

"Have had no major component failures in 220,000 miles. VERY satisfied with performance relative to cost of operation and maintenance."

"When I bought my Ranger It had very low mileage and I thought the price was very good. The Ranger is a very plain version with air conditioning and anti lock brakes. It is two wheel drive and has very good power. The ranger performs very well on dry roads however as with most pick-ups the rear is light and lacks traction on wet and or snowy, icy roads. I wish it had four wheel drive for that reason. I am very happy with gas mileage and I have never had to add oil between changes."

"We have driven the truck for 11 years. Unfortunately, Ford no longer makes the Ranger in the US. Hopefully, they will again make the Ranger for sale in the US by 2018. If so, and if our 2004 Ranger is having problems, we would consider buying another Ranger. The truck has been almost trouble-free over the 11 years we have driven it. The Ford service people have been great and we have down scheduled service over the years. I love this truck as it has been the most dependable and comfortable"

"It hauls just about whatever I can fit in the bed, and it does so reliably with no issues to any mechanical or engine-related functions. Great used purchase that I am very satisfied with."

"Just the right size. Will easily haul half a ton of mulch. Gets 29 mpg --- I keep careful track of that. I haven't had a single problem with it in 12 years and 106,000 miles. Original brakes, muffler, shocks, clutch. It's been perfect. And they quit making them."
