Ford Rangers are absolute garbage. I’ve never felt so unsafe in a vehicle as I have in one of those PoS.
I had a Ranger for years. I’d buy a new one in a heartbeat. I’ve got a 2008 F-150, but smaller would work for much of my driving.
My late dad’s 2000 Ranger is still going strong, I wouldn’t call it a POS. Quite fond of it actually, sentimental value though. I’d still rather have a Tacoma. Prefer the previous, more compact version though, prior to 2005. Owned a 2000 4x4 TRD Offroad myself, should never have sold it.
I’ve heard that before from my boss a long time ago. I guess it depends on how you drive it. I love mine.
I had a 4 wheel drive Ranger and it was the best vehicle I ever owned. Had to sell it when I moved but still miss it. I guess I was not smart enough to know a “piece of garbage “ when I had it. [:>)
Yup, just scary to drive on washboard or curves of any kind.
Back in about 1998 or so, I watched a then late model Ford Ranger swerve violently at highway speed (distracted driver), then flip over and roll several times. I stopped to render aid and call the professionals. The cab was only slightly deformed, the airbag was deployed, the driver appeared to have sustained only minor injuries.
I currently own a 1999 Ford Ranger XLT extended cab.
Anybody who thinks it's a "POS" simply doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
Not the best, but I wouldn’t call them a POS.
