Ford Ranger Change Vehicle

Unlock Ratings
The Ford Ranger falls far short of modern pickup-truck standards. It's ungainly and stiff-riding; has a rough, noisy and inefficient engine; plus a cramped and uncomfortable cabin. The interior is crudely finished too. Compact dimensions and a usefully sized bed are the Ranger's only pluses.

"AC stopped working last year. Will get repaired soon."

Anonymous, MB (2009 Ford Ranger None 4.0-L V6)

"The heater valve that lets in the hot water stopped working. Repaired it at a local garage."

John F., CA (2009 Ford Ranger None 4.0-L V6)

"I have the standard climate system in my Ranger. The A/C works and supplies cold air only under the Max Air setting on the control. I also cannot control the heat side of the climate control system. It is not a problem in winter in Michigan but during the spring, summer, fall seasons I cannot shut the heat off or dial it to a lower setting or temp. The heat is on full blast on standard A/C setting, heat, or vent. I believe there is internal damper stuck or inoperative. I purchased the truck in Jan. 2016 but did not realize the problem existed until April when the weather began to warm. The dealer I purchased the vehicle from would do nothing for me. That dealership is off my list for future purchases."
