  My Ranger in review - 1994 Ford Ranger
  By Bruce - December 22 - 11:27 pm

  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 Mountain Man - December 5 - 1:03 am

  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.

  If you live out of the city - 1994 Ford Ranger
  By Hank Jr - September 25 - 4:44 pm

  I got this truck in Feb. 05 with 179,800 miles, after I got my license. Im not really a truck person but it was the only thing my dad would let me drive for insurance purposes (the insurance is kinda cheap even with full coverage). After driving it a month I had to get the brakes checked turns out it was nothing, no major problems. I worked at Six Flags which is about 20-30 minute drive from my house. With the 3.0 engine you dont get much pick up until 2nd gear. Not for long trip, after 4 hours of driving brakes smoke when stopped even if you dont use them that much.

  Hate to admit its this good... - 1994 Ford Ranger
  By Convert - September 15 - 4:05 pm

  Ive owned and been around full size GM trucks for a long time - a true Chevy guy. But I needed a truck (1st house rehab) recently, and couldnt afford a new one. A friend of mine offered me his old 1994 Ranger with 150K on it for cheap money, so I figured "why not?". Well, Im glad I did! This comfortable little truck (2wd Extended Cab 4.0 5-speed) runs beautifully, is great on gas (20/24), has no problem hauling whatever I need, and has no rust after 150K of Rhode Island winters (road salt galore). It does need an Idle Air Valve, and it probably needs a new A/C compressor, but it has been good to its previous (original) owner, and its forced me to change my opinion of Ford.

  Great truck - 1994 Ford Ranger
  By Carlos - July 14 - 1:34 am

  I bought the truck in 1998 with 50k miles on it and it is still running great. Its kind of rough on bumpy roads. Ive only had to replace the battery, brakes, and electrical components at 100k miles. Im not a big Ford fan, but it has gotten me through the years without any major problems. And of course I had to put 30 inch all terrain tires on it.

  Mighty Mouse - 1994 Ford Ranger
  By Ed - July 5 - 3:27 am

  I love my Ford Ranger. I think that a Ford Ranger is the best vehicle that a teenager can own. It has all the get up and go that I need, never lets me down, and is easy to beef up, performance-wise.

  Great litle truck - 1994 Ford Ranger
  By jaxmo - May 19 - 2:12 am

  I bought this truck used in 1996. It had 15,000 miles on it when I bought it. It now has 117,000. This truck has done everything I asked of it and gave me nine years of trouble free service. The only items I replaced were the battery, brakes, temp gauge sender, tires and a $15 sensor. Still has original clutch, starter, exhaust, etc. Still not a spot of rust on it (Cleveland area) Parked in the same spot every day and not one drop of oil on the floor. The most reliable vehicle Ive ever owned. I still like driving it. Cant say enough good things about it.

  Build to last - 1994 Ford Ranger
  By Armbruster - May 9 - 12:49 am

  I bought my Ford Ranger when it was one year old in 1995. My truck had 40,000 miles on it then. 10 years later it has 227,000 miles on it! I still love this truck. Last summer I replaced the transmission and thought of getting another vehicle. I didnt need to here it is another year later and it is still driving fantastic. Through the years I have replaced one water pump (at 160,000 miles) 2 batteries, the clutch at 190,000 miles, the oxygen sensor, brakes, tires, and the faulty emergency brake recall item. I cant think of anything else. (oh, I did replace the serpentine and timing belts as a precaution at 120,000 miles). A FANTASTIC vehicle. This is my third Ranger and I will buy another.

  My Baby - 1994 Ford Ranger
  By jogle - May 3 - 1:42 am

  My first and only vehicle. Bought in 1997 with 9K. The seats fit me perfectly, I am 6 ft 240lb. I have 2 kids and four of us can ride fairly comfortably (my wife is 52" 115lb). I have changed the brakes, rotors, plugs and plug wires. Daily driver on average 30 miles per day. Another kid on the way may mean I have to purchase another vehicle. No matter what, I will not sell my Ranger.

  Only 1 regret - 1994 Ford Ranger
  By jcd302 - February 11 - 11:55 pm

  This is my 3rd Ranger and my last one lasted to 182,000 miles. I sold it 4.5 years ago and he is STILL driving it. I have HAD to do nothing to her, but I did convert the 3.08 open differential to Traction-Loc & added a trailer towing package. 146,200 miles and only done 1 wheel bearing. I get 22mpg in the summer and 17/19 in the winter. I love it and will buy my 4th Ranger when this one finally dies, but my 9 year old daughter is planning on it being around when she gets her license, so maybe in 7 more years. I should have over 300k on it by then. Ford only rates it at 1200# towing capacity, but I have towed my 2000# pop-up camper with no problems and even taken a trailer w/ 2800# of trash to the dump!
