Overview & Reviews

This year's changes to the 1999 Ford Ranger include standard 15-inch silver styled wheels, a class III frame-mounted hitch receiver for V6 applications, and a spare tire access lock. All models get dual front cupholders and Dark Graphite has been added to the interior colors options list while Willow Green and Denim Blue have been removed as interior choices. The "Splash" model has been discontinued. A 3.0-liter V6 flexible fuel engine is available that is designed specifically for ethanol/gasoline fuel blends.

• The 1999 Ford Ranger continues to be a cutting edge truck with four-door entry, a five-speed automatic and optional flexible fuel/electric powertrains.

• The 1998 restyled body makes a failed attempt to outshine the current Dakota.

  Good little truck - 1999 Ford Ranger
  By cbunner - July 16 - 2:00 am

  I like the truck and plan to drive it until it wont go anymore. One thing to watch for is the flair side bed opening at the tail gate is < 4 ft so it will not fit drywall or plywood. That is why I got the styleside, not as pretty, but more functional. 4.0 V6 gives a good amount of power for the mountains. When it is time to buy again, if Ford as the 4-door cab, I will look strongly at the Ranger again.

  Its OK - 1999 Ford Ranger
  By Practical - June 8 - 2:00 am

  I have had my truck for over a year. It does its job good. I have had to replace the starter and the oxygen sensor. I have owned a 96 4cyc ranger before, that one and my current one has the same problem, the driver side door sensor has problems stopping the "door opem" chim when the door is closed and its hot outside. After having 2 Rangers its time for something different. I have 5 TSBs that refer to my current truck. Dont lower trucks, they look exteremly ugly.

  Found On Road Dead - 1999 Ford Ranger
  By GACop - May 26 - 2:00 am

  I have always been a ford man, but this truck really stinks. Bought it slightly used at the dealership. Have had the transmission worked on a total of 3 times since i got it. Had the alternator replaced. The harness for the headlights burned out. The lights in the dash quit working. EGR valve replace way too early, Twice.

  A Big Let Down - 1999 Ford Ranger
  By a big let down - May 16 - 2:00 am

  Major problems!!!! I am the original owner of this truck. I have had numerous recalls!(Tires, Switches, etc...) Massive electrical problems. 4x4 problems. Numerous dealers could not figure what the problems were. Finally they said just replace the transfer case,(at my cost of course), and it was still never right. ABS problems. Again, dealers said it was corrected, and as soon as I leave the dealership, more ABS problems. This was the cause of my Wreck. Bottom line is BUYER BEWARE!!!! Ford Quality care in plain english SUX! Techs are uneducated in their product. They can never figure out what is wrong with it. I will NEVER own another ford again.

  Luv the little truck - 1999 Ford Ranger
  By adirondacker - March 13 - 2:00 am

  I am only a few months away from paying off the 0.9% financing and have loved owning this truck. Feels strong and sturdy but much better milage than my fathers F150 and brothers 250. Got all the amenities (power everything) with lower price.

  RANGER REVIEW - 1999 Ford Ranger

  Not too shabby - 1999 Ford Ranger
  By idrwlnood - January 22 - 2:00 am

  Ive put 15,000 miles on it in the past 6 months. This is my first newer vehicle ( I was driving a 79 suburban) While the ranger lacks the bang of a 454 big block, it more than makes up for it in all around performance. The only problem Ive had is a faulty sensor that set off the check engine and ABS lights but, it only cost a few bucks to fix. I reccomend premium fuel (tends to rattle a bit if you dont)Wish I would have had the $ for a 4wd and extended cab model, but thus far I am happy with the purchase

  Mixed Bag - 1999 Ford Ranger
  By SH - January 19 - 2:00 am

  I have all the toys and the 4.0L V-6. The truck looks great and the extra doors is a great feature. Dont plan on having people sit in the jump seats on a regular basis. Plenty of power but very bad on gas 18mpg on the hiway is pushing it. The ride quality is poor and handling/braking is just OK. Build quality is just OK and Im glad I bought the extended warranty. Dont buy this truck if you want to do serious off-roading- there are much better choices out there.
