  My First Ford Truck - 2002 Ford Ranger
  By Dave - December 19 - 9:35 pm

  This truck was built with for quality making it affordable and reliable. I use it for my landscaping business and it has never failed me the past 8 months it has not been in the shop for a single mechanical defect! Comfortable and enough power, but still gets about 21 MPG. This truck is my first car and I would advise anyone who wants a truck for work, buy a Ford, you wont be sorry.

  Great Truck - 2002 Ford Ranger
  By LTrNr050 - December 4 - 12:02 pm

  Not ever a problem! Great truck to drive. I pull my boat and my four wheeler all the time without even knowing its back there. You get the same use of the Ranger as you would with a F-150 but with better gas mileage.

  2002 Ranger Edge 2DR - 2002 Ford Ranger
  By Jeff_N - October 17 - 2:00 am

  Nice looking truck - one problem I have noticed, and it is wilh all 2000 Ford vehiles. The outside weatherstripping around the windows has "mildew" growing in/on it - every single Ford I see of this age has this problem. I keep my vehicles immaculate, so I consider this to be a nuisance. The truck is fun to drive, and with an overdrive transmission gets pretty good fuel mileage. Plugs are easy to change, as is oil, filter and air filter. Some "squekiness" on start up - sounds like a belt slipping, but I cant figure out where the slip is. Biggest problem - OE tires are junk - Goodyear which develop knots in them just for fun, I guess. Ride is good.

  Gas Guage Drops Fast - 2002 Ford Ranger
  By sgiersch - September 22 - 2:00 am

  First of all, the truck is beautiful, and I still think it is one of the classiest looking trucks on the road. But when I first got it, I took it back to the dealer for a check because the fuel economy was about 1/2 what was advertised, and there was a noticably rough idle. The service manager put a fuel meter on it and we went for a ride. He claimed the fuel mileage was right on (19) and that the idle was normal. Three more trips back to the shop and I gave up. Other than the square tires, it has been pretty reliable. I would buy again as a second vehicle (would get one with better fuel economy for a first vehicle.

  Great little work horse - 2002 Ford Ranger
  By jleg - September 2 - 2:00 am

  No major recals or significant shop time on this little truck. The dealerships have been night and day from my chevy. I trade keys for the rental after I describe the problem and thats that. No arguments about weather its covered or not. I get a call when its fixed and that is that. Ford dealerships are great. I have yet to come across one in the detroit area that is bad. I have not had the same experience with Chevrolet dealers.

  ok truck - 2002 Ford Ranger
  By madriver - August 27 - 2:00 am

  Was beginning to notice problems at 43,000 miles with front end noises. Did full brake job on front-end at 37,000(rotors and everything - $400!). Terrible fuel economy 14-15 mpg seeing that my new 4Runner gets 25-26 mpg. Decent truck and fun to drive but go with a toyota

  Ford Tuff - 2002 Ford Ranger
  By Metro - August 18 - 10:00 am

  First new truck I have ever owned. I have to say I am very happy with it. The seats could be better, with more lumbar support, the turn signal needs adjusting. The gas mileage is as stated on the sticker at 16-19 mpg. No rattles or squeaks. Very quiet with plenty of power. I live in the Sierra foothills and drives beautiful on the road, highway or on off-road,and pulls my yard trailer, loaded nicely. I have the 3.0, automatic with 4.10 limited slip. I paid 17,300. Plan on having it for many care free years. Its very tight all around. I appericate how far the industry has come.

  If You Like Sloppy - 2002 Ford Ranger
  By Yuck - July 10 - 1:10 pm

  This truck has the WORST manual transmission Ive ever driven. Shifting from 1st to 2nd is impossible to do without forcing/grinding the stick into position. Shifting down from 3rd to 2nd IS impossible unless you are travelling at less than 5 mph. I took the truck into the dealer to have them check the transmission. They said it is normal. Ive had several manual transmission vehicles in my life, and this is the absolute worst.

  Great Buy - 2002 Ford Ranger
  By Awsome Truck - June 8 - 2:00 am

  I got this truck used for $7400 because of some hail damage. It had only 27,000 miles. The first day I had it it leaked oil. Off it went to the ford dealer cause it still had warranty. After that I have had no problems. I have the 2.3L I4 with the automatic. It is not fast but it handles awesome and the brakes are great. This is my first vehicle.
