GREAT!!!!

I have owned Fords for the past fifty years--this one is the best--would not own anything else. I purchased the truck with 23,000 miles on it, it now has 54,640, replaced a few parts tires ,brakes, nothing major. Very very reliable!!!

Ford Ranger is an excellent truck.

One owner vehicle with low miles equals good deal. I have the 4.0 v6 engine and 4 wheel drive that comes in handy when needed. Consider a Ford car or truck from Harris Ford on Lynnwood. Ask for David Wright and tell him Bruce sent you.

Great little truck!

I've had this truck over 10 years and it has been the most dependable truck I've had in 45 years of driving all kinds of trucks for personal and work use. It has never left me stranded or gotton stuck

2001 Ford Ranger

I like this Ranger, and plan to keep it for a long time. It has always done everything that I have asked it to. I wish it had more power, but it is a 4.0 liter six. It has yet to let me down. It is a great truck.

Ford Ranger

This is my fourth Ranger. I like the size and overall features. The new Rangers are too tall for me. It seems Ford wanted a truck with a body size closer to the F150. The older Rangers are nicer handling and sits just above standard car heights.

Perfect fit

I don’t need a monster truck and that’s why my Ranger is perfect. It handles all my refs for hauling and drivability. It has a few things I wish were different but overall it’s great!!! I would buy another Ranger when this one needs replaced

Love it but

The only issue that I have with this vehicle is that it does not have air recirculation when my heater is on. I breathe the fumes of whatever nasty thing is in front of me. I will never buy another vehicle without recirculation but I do love this Ranger.

Keeps on truckin'

I love my Ranger XLT. Takes a beating and has had few problems beyond normal wear and tear. 112K miles and going strong. My friend's Ranger went 250. I'm not easy on my vehicles and my little truck is "built Ford tough".

Good little truck

I treat her like a baby and she treats me very well. She is almost 17 now, and still runs like day I drove her off the lot. I have had only one major repair in all the time that I've had her. If they still made Ford Rangers I would say go get one.

2001 Ford Ranger - 3.0 v6

All in all, I'm not that impressed with the 3.0 engine. It appears to have alot of potential if they would move the spark plug port on cylinders 1 & 4. I was hit by thew curse of the 3.0, cracked heads. The spark plug port is too close to the valve seat on those cylinders. If Ford would increase the spacing by 1/2" the problem with the heads would probably go away.

Good truck

My Ford Ranger had been a great truck. I had a controler fail several years ago that cost $400 to replace. The recent fuel pump problens are puzzling. I'm on my third fuel pump in the last two years.

Ignition ring was bad

Truck is running good after Mike and Steve replace my ignition ring and reprogrammed my key. Reliable automobile and smooth running machine and had no trouble in 18 year of having the vehicle. I recommend this vehicle

Bought this used with 105,000 miles on it.

On the whole, this truck has been excellent except for a few add-ons. The stereo is nice, but the wiring is a mess. There is a high-resistance short that makes me keep a charger on the system. The battery is dead in two days. I replaced the battery, but no change. After-market headlights have removed the daylight running lights. The automatic windows only go down on the driver's door. Don't work at going up on either door. I like it, though. It is a a 4W drive, but I haven't really tried that out.

Ford ranger review

COOLING SYSTEM SUCKS!!!!!!!! Way too easy to overheat. Eventually installed an aftermarket water pump, radiator, fan, etc. finally stopped overheating after that. Other than that, I like the torque and how strong the transmission is. Suspension is pretty loose, but live able.

Ford Ranger xlt 4x4

Decent truck, but seems to have similar issues as other Ford trucks regarding various issues. We have owned numerous Ford trucks from an 88 STX 4x4 , Ford Rangers, F150's, Escape, and F250 diesel . emergency brake cable: pedal engaging when barely touched but not working right, gear shifting in automatics going in between indicators and not engaging properly. No adjustments for brake / gas pedal.to move closer towards driver, Seats moving so close to steering wheel for smaller stature people it is unsafe.
