  1993 Ford Ranger XLT Standard Cab SB - 1993 Ford Ranger
  By RobWilkins - February 11 - 2:00 am

  Excellent, reliable vehicle! I bought it in 1999 with 72,000 miles. It is now 2003 and the truck has over 106,000 and is still running strong. I have had no problems at all with the engine. The only two items Ive had to replace are the sending unit and the exhaust system. I am very good about changing the oil & filter every 2500-3000 miles and the gas & air filter every 10,000 miles, and the plugs & wires every 20,000-25,000 miles... I guess it pays off! I love this truck!!!

  250,000+ miles - 1993 Ford Ranger
  By jacksoneagle - December 12 - 2:00 am

  I think this is the Ranger model I had. It was a standard Ranger with a 5 speed transmission. I drove the hell out of this truck and would still have it but I it was declared a "total" after a wreck. This Ranger was ordered with a long bed from the factory. I got ownership at about 80,000 miles. My ranger was a delivery vehicle twice, so it took a ton of abuse. I only had typical repairs such as fuel pumps, batteries, alternators, fuel filters, and so forth. Nothing major. The clutch was about to go out, but what did I expect after such abuse. I had the 3.0 V-6 and it was peppy without sucking down the fuel.

  personal oppinion of 87 year old driver - 1993 Ford Ranger
  By nfdeminco - November 29 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this vehicle used with 19000 miles on it I have driven it ever since with no nechanical problems. It does ride rather stiff but fuel economy is very good and reaction is very good though it only a four cylinder with dual ignition and overdrice. I do think undercarriage is more susceptible to road salts deterioration than usual. Should have better frame rust protection.

  1993 Ford Ranger XLT Extended Cab - 1993 Ford Ranger
  By Stephen Barnes - November 7 - 2:00 am

  This has been a great little truck. Ive never had any trouble whatsoever with it. Currently its at 65,000 miles and running great. The mileage averages around 25 mpg which may not be too suprising since it only has the 2.3L engine, but Im happy with it. The transmission is great, very comfortable cloth bucket seats, smooth ride, quiet engine.

  Good Quality Truck - 1993 Ford Ranger
  By Skiing Pilot - October 17 - 2:00 am

  I have had this truck for almost 8 years and put about 150,000 miles on it for a total of 193,000 mi. It has been a great truck, my only complaint is the size, but I guess that is why it is called a compact. Had to have the Trans. rebuilt about 20,000 ago, and other minor wearable parts. Milage is about 14 city, 16 Hwy. Overall great 4wd small truck, great off road, can get many places full size cant

  My 1993 Ford Ranger - 1993 Ford Ranger
  By Frank Valdez - October 1 - 2:00 am

  My 1993 Ford Ranger is red and has an extended cab. It has good tiers. Have recently put a new fan clutch as well as a new fan. Recently I installed a front grill. The paint is good. It also has a good V6 engine. The transmission needs work but it is usesable. It could go for another 10,000 miles if not more depending on the treatment.

  great truck! - 1993 Ford Ranger
  By sinner_saved - July 9 - 2:00 am

  Ok, its a little small, but I could always rely on this truck. I hauled music equipment, mountain bikes, and people in this bad boy, and Im talking TRIPS! I had no reservations about taking it far from home for a getaway, and it was perfect for me and my girlfriend. Dont get this if you have kids, or if youre a big and tall type. The 93 ranger is WAY reliable and super easy to maintain. I would advise to get the king cab, however. It is a SMALL truck!

  Still going... - 1993 Ford Ranger
  By Get In and GO! - June 2 - 2:00 am

  I got this truck with 68K on it. It had been my Dads and I sold my 93 regular cab at 90K. It has never been in the shop, save for minor stuff...a starter, an exhaust, a thermostat, etc. It has been well-maitained obviously, but it gets its fair share of miles (about 17K/yr.). People STILL ask about it when I am driving it..."Wow, nice truck, etc". So, at almost 140,000 miles, it is still an absolute great, reliable vehicle that looks good, runs good and has a ton of life left in it from all indications. I would have to say that you would be hard pressed to find a better vehicle in this category. A classic lives on...

  Rolling Ranger - 1993 Ford Ranger
  By Man-o-man - May 25 - 2:00 am

  Ive had my Ranger since 93 and its been one of the most reliable trucks Ive owned. It now has 173000 miles and its still going strong. The only major repair Ive had was a hydraulic leak in the transmission 5 years ago. I plan on keeping this one for a lot longer hopefully.
