  Amazing Little Truck - 1996 Ford Ranger
  By drdz070 - November 17 - 11:52 am

  I bought my 1996 Ranger a little over a year ago with 113000 miles on it and i have since brought that total up to 143000 miles. The truck has required very little work, other that the basics like oil changes. In fact, the only thing ive had done to it, that was of any consequence, was the replacement of two belts and a tensioner. I would recomend this little truck to anyone and i am saddened that it has come time for a new car. I hope that the next owner enjoys it as much as I have.

  Ive owed this vehicle new from dealership driven it hard and regular. Ive never experienced a problem - Just semi-regular maintenance. Id buy it again. The only thing Id change is adding a console.

  My 5th Ranger - 1996 Ford Ranger
  By fugitive - March 23 - 8:26 pm

  Have owned Rangers since 1983. The only real problem I have had with the 96 was the automatic hubs went out, I had them replaced with manual hubs for $260. As of today I have 98,000 miles and the body and finish are still excellent.

  I Lost It - 1996 Ford Ranger
  By 96rangerlover - August 26 - 2:00 am

  My mom got it brand new in 96. Then my dad put a 3" lift on it. Then when I turnd 16 my mom gave it to me. I was using just to go to work and school. Then 4 months later after i got it, I was making a left turn and some people in a car T-boned me. So truck is no more. Ever since then Iv been looking for another 96.(My favrite year).

  Well its a tough little truck, ive gone everywhere in my little ranger, and i gotta say i love it and i wouldnt have anything else, its a good starter truck. I wish it would last me forever, but sadly all good things must come to an end, i hope thats far off for my little ranger.

  Little 4banger needs assistance - 1996 Ford Ranger
  By Prez Max - February 21 - 2:00 am

  I love my truck. I bought it as a powered wheelbarrow for hauling stuff to the dump and from Home Depot. So I bought one w/ very few creature comforts, but the thing is very comfortable to drive and great for long trips. Very comfortable seats for stock ones.

  I will buy another one!!! - 1996 Ford Ranger
  By schpaver - January 21 - 2:00 am

  I got this little p.u. new for basic transportation to get me through college. It has been a GREAT truck! Have had to do normal maint. on this nothing more. It just keeps going. I can well afford to buy a new truck now, but see no need with this Ranger still going strong. But when the time comes, I will buy another Ranger!

  Great Truck - 1996 Ford Ranger
  By scool191 - January 9 - 2:00 am

  I loved this truck. I had it for 6 years and never had a problem with it. The water pump went out and that was it. I only changed the oil. It ran perfect.

  Love this truck - 1996 Ford Ranger
  By corrupted - November 23 - 2:00 am

  I drove this truck back and forth from MD to NC every weekend for 2 years and never had a problem with it. Ive had it for 5 years, bought it used. The only thing Ive had to recently replace were the tires.
