  • Very Suprised - 1994 Ford Ranger
    By -

    Overall this truck has surprised me. Im a Chevy lover and yet i like this truck. Very comfortable and great on gas. Despite i have the two wheel drive version it love the mud. No major problems with it. 189,000 miles and still going strong.

  • A 16 Year Olds Dream - 1994 Ford Ranger
    By -

    I had this truck handed down to me from my dad, who has had it from 1996. He bought it from a private owner with 20k +/- , with the cruise control already not functioning. This has not bothered me though, I put about 30+ miles a day driving to school and back. My MPG stands at about 18-19 city, 22-23 hwy with the 3.0 V6. There have been no major issues with the truck, just routine maintenance, such as oil, brakes,fluid levels, etc. There is a oil leak at the universal joint, but its not major. at 110k, It is still going strong and I do not intend for it to quit today, or for that matter, a long time.

  • A truck for all-time - 1994 Ford Ranger
    By -

    Bought the truck from a pal with 11,000 miles on it in 1995. Its loaded 4.0L V-6, PS/PB/AC/cruise/tilt/Captains chairs, the works. I now have 74,000 miles on it and it runs like its brand new. My wife loves it because its big enough to haul her annual landscaping supplies, but small enough for her to be comfortable driving. People still offer me hard cash for this little gem, but I couldnt replace it for under $20K. It gets about 20mpg consistently, the A/C will freeze you out, and its tough! This would be a perfect truck for someone who doesnt need to tow large trailers, etc.

  • Micheal Myers of trucks--just wont die. - 1994 Ford Ranger

    I bought this truck brand new in Feb of 95, and havent looked back since. 335,234 miles (original engine and tranny) its safe to say this truck has paid for itself three times over. With only two clutches replaced (working on my third) and regular maintainence, this truck has never given me a problem- -even after smashing a full grown deer, two rear-end collisions and a steel reinforced pole that inconspicuously jump out in front of me. All this, and doesnt drip any oil.

  • The best truck anyone could ever buy - 1994 Ford Ranger
    By -

    I bought this truck with 105,000 miles on it just to drive to work and take the trash out. It lacks in the power department, mine has an auto trans and it shifts perfectly. I love the truck. Ive taken it to the beach, up the mountains, pulled campers, horse trailers. So far no problems other than the AC had a leak cost like 3.00 to fix. Would recomend to anybody! I would like a console and a seat that laid back a little more.

  • Never stops - 1994 Ford Ranger

    So good. I love the power it has off the start, after popping into second youre gone. Its definitely the most comfortable ride, super smooth like butter.

  • Great truck, keeps on going - 1994 Ford Ranger
    By -

    I bought this truck new in 94 and I used it every day for 10 years until I got a family minivan. I have towed concrete mixers, hauled scrap and lumber, use it weekly to carry stuff to the dump. I carried the kids in the extended cab (when they were little, not a lot of room there.) The truck never let me down and today I still have it (though its semi-retired)and use it 3-4 times a month to go to the dump. It has 167,000 miles on it and now my daughter just got her lisense and she drives it daily to school and about. It still gets 22+MPG. Never did more than routine maint and replaced the clutch 2x. What a great investment in 1994!

  • Reliable - 1994 Ford Ranger
    By -

    It is a reliable truck. 2.3L great gas mileage. I get 28 to 30 mpg! But it goes from 0-60 in a like 3 minutes. No power what so ever even though it is a 2wd. I cant figure out why it needs 8 spark plugs in a 4cylinder? It only has 98hp.

  • My Ranger in review - 1994 Ford Ranger
    By -

    I first took possession of my 1994 Ford Ranger XLT on 3/3/04. Overall, the truck has been quite reliable. In the almost 2 years Ive had it, I have replaced the starter, idler pulley, fan belt, (broke when pulley seized), and rear leaf spring mounts. It currently has a power steering leak, and needs brakes, thats it. The total amount for all my repairs is about $300 over 2 years not bad for an 11 year old truck.

  • Best Ive ever owned - 1994 Ford Ranger
    By -

    This has been the best vehicle Ive ever owned. After 157,000 miles (mostly commuting), Ive not had a single mechanical failure. My only expenses have been maintenance. I drove it on a 12 hour trip and it was as comfortable as any car Ive ever driven.
