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.

  the truck for me - 1999 Ford Ranger
  By ace pilot - March 20 - 2:00 am

  the 1999 ford ranger extended cab xlt is a great truck even though the 3 speed over drive is not very economic for i had the 4.0L six it was very fun to drive and i would highly recommend it for those people who want an american truck.

  Great Tuck - 1999 Ford Ranger
  By winkhink - March 9 - 2:00 am

  It is at 65,000 and I have had it since the begining. Had minor proplems, speed sensor which kept ABS light on in dash but that was covered under warantee. DFPE sensor also turned that light on but that was at 45,000. Wipers come on every once in a while out of the blue but nothing excessive, once a month. Made many trips from SC to NY and travels very good. Drive in heavy traffic during the week and even a stick is easy to drive. Still have original brakes and 2 tires. Great Truck but have to agree the seats in the back dont amount for much when you put someone in the front seat.

  99 Ranger 3.0 Liter - 1999 Ford Ranger
  By Deez - February 26 - 2:00 am

  Not too bad of a truck...I have only had to replace a sensor for the emissions since I bought the truck with 40,000 miles in Aug. 2002. The truck is not that good with gas mileage. Seems like it should also have a little more "get up" when you step on the gas.

  99 Ranger Review - Transmission Problems - 1999 Ford Ranger
  By Kloman - February 4 - 2:00 am

  Great truck, but have major transmissions problems at 50000 miles. If this were a Chrysler I could understand it. I have had Fords all my life. Unless Ford extends their warranty on the powertrain, Ill be buying a Toyota next time.

  My 4th Ranger - 1999 Ford Ranger
  By Nor - December 28 - 2:00 am

  Had 4 Rangers all extended cab and 4 wheel drive. They just run and run. Only repairs are tires, brakes, and sometimes batteries. Ran all of them over 100,000 miles. The first was a 2.9 engine. All others had the 4.0. My only negative is I wish the gas mileage was a little better. (14.5 city and 19 highway)

  brians 1999 Ranger XLT - 1999 Ford Ranger
  By bri719 - December 20 - 2:00 am

  Good engine(2.5L) for gas usage and reliable with 5-speed. Console handy. Like interior and exterior. Tires nothing special, but able to get 60k out of them. ABS a + but got serviced one time (warranty). Suspension, front shocks not holding up for more than 40k. Manual trans. could be better shifting a little stiffer and the clutchs ability to grab lags a bit. Front seats a pain to adj. back into pos. Driver seat springs worn and needs to be replaced after 70k miles, fabric held up well. New models better front susp. Truck a solid overall value. I had a few ext. warranty repairs, small stuff. I suggest the later models esp., 4L engine and 4-door a +

  moody lone ranger - 1999 Ford Ranger
  By CPMOFLO - December 20 - 2:00 am

  My 1999 Ranger has been a reliable work horse. It has never let me down, unlike the 3 different Ford dealers that have worked on it. It took them 3 years to fix a problem with the CPU that was causing power loss and terrible pinging in the motor while accelerating. Other than that aggravating problem I would recommend this truck to anyone who has a job to do and needs a truck that can do it.

  worst vehicle i have ever owned - 1999 Ford Ranger
  By unsatified ranger - December 16 - 2:00 am

  This is the most mechanically unreliable vehicle I have ever owned. I will not purchase another Ford. Quality is not job one. I truly believe that if I truly used this vehicle as a truck, it would be in the repair shop monthly.

  Great Reliable Little Truck - 1999 Ford Ranger
  By goldencrazy - December 5 - 10:00 am

  I bought this truck for two reasons: looks and usefulness. I really like unloading a few bags of horse feed or several bales of hay without having to climb up into the truck to get the items out. This truck handles well, looks great and is a ball to drive. My other truck is for real - a F-350 dually turbo diesel - but this little guy is too handy to dismiss!
