A Sort-Of Okay Truck

Date of Review:  Jan 4, 2000
Review: I own a Ford Ranger. It is a love-hate relationship. This truck has never failed to start. On the other hand, I have had myriad mechanical difficulties with it. Small things, like wires, fuses, and that damn check-engine light that comes on at...

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...

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...

Love My Ranger

Date of Review:  Nov 9, 2003
The Bottom Line: Consider how many of these vehicles are on the road and how long they have been there, with no hint of an end in sight.
Review: My Ranger is a 1996 XLT, 3.0 V6, A/T. I wanted either a Ranger or Mazda because I think they are the best looking small trucks on the road outside of a Tacoma, but without the Tacoma price tag. I bought it used with 64,500 miles. I had some...

1996 Ford Ranger Supercab 4.0 V6 4x4

Date of Review:  Mar 9, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a good daily driver and don't want a massive F-150, it's a great deal for the money.
Review: I just recently purchased a 96 Ranger Supercab with the 4.0 V6. I have previously driven the smaller engine models and would never recommend those except to people that use their trucks like a small car.
The 4.0 is more than adequate for...

My best friend is a 96 ford ranger! And I'm proud of it!

Date of Review:  Aug 5, 2006
Review: I bought my v6 4.0l 96 Ford Ranger last fall(05). It had 80,000 miles and I paid $4,000. It was a super cab with a standard bed and an automatic transmission. Beautiful truck (see my profile picture)

The truck runs like a top, I've had NO...

A reliable truck for years

Date of Review:  Jul 23, 2005
Review: A great truck. I've had mine for 8 years and have had only one problem. It was a minor electrical thing that cost $150.00 to fix. Rides well. I have the manual 5-speed and it shifts fine. My only real complaint is that the straight 4-cylinder engine...

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...

Reliable, well made workhorse

Date of Review:  Nov 23, 2000
Review: 5 years old, and this trusty little 4x4 has only had one problem --- the check engine light came on (which turned out to be a software problem.) Its as tight as the day it was made, with one of those irritating little problems that generally plague...

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...
