Ford Ranger

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.

Reliability indicates how models have performed in the past, providing the basis for predicting how the vehicles will hold up in the year ahead. These charts provide the most comprehensive reliability information available to consumers. Based on information received from our latest subscriber survey for over 300,000 vehicles, our reliability history charts give you a rundown on how 2000 through 2021 vehicles are holding up in 17 potential trouble spots, ranging from the engine, transmission, and brakes to power equipment and the electrical system. NA indicates that we did not receive a large enough sample size to provide data for a specific year. An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year.

Blower (fan) motor, A/C compressor, condenser, evaporator, heater system, automatic climate control, refrigerant leakage, electrical failure.

What Owners Say

A/C compressor

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

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

"The temperature control on the air distribution system does not operate and the air conditioning works only on MAX setting. The cooling deck of the air distribution ducting only carries hot air unless the MAX setting is selected."

Charles T., NV (2009 Ford Ranger None 4.0-L V6)

"The A/C is permanently on. Even if you switch to OFF, it is still on. Husband will not fix."

"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."
