What Owners are Saying About the 1996 Ford Ranger Regular Cab
"Best overall unit I have ever owned"
"Bought used about 6 years ago with 60K miles on it It now has over 214,000 miles on it. 4.0 V6 very strong but I have to really massage it to get over 20mpg. I change oil and filter every 5000 miles and usually do nothave to add between oil changes. AT has slipped between the 2nd & 3rd gear shift ever since I've had the truck. I've tried a littletighter band adjustments in addition to additives after each 30k mile oil change to no avail. Once the shift has been made it holds so I've just learned to live with it. Mechanically very tough & reliable and the body shows very little rust even with all the salt the city, county and state use. Finally had to replace ball joints just recently. Had problems with power lock switches, door lock sensors, and htr/AC fanswitch. I feel this was a supplier problem for Ford. The blend air door broke on the htr/AC and would have cost over $400 dollars to replace it because I would have had to buy the complete airbox form Ford , Instead I installed a mechanical water valve in the heater water hose ($10) Carrier bearing going out for 3rd time but don't know why. Hardly ever drive thru water except in town but only 4-6 inches deep. Except for the electrical problems mentioned earlier, these units are by far one of the toughest vehicles I've ever seen and I feel an outstanding value; and I consider myself a GM lover."
"practically could not live without it"
"best truck to come down the pike in a long time, 170,000 mi on a 4 cyl 2.3l dual plug 5sp manual. comfortable and economical on not only fuel, but upkeep also. regular maintenance is the key, along with common sense not to abuse. 24 years old and still a valuable piece of equipment."
"good gas mileage, 266,000 miles the best vehicle"
"1st vehicle bought from a dealership. 266,000 miles on it and still ticking. Standard transmission and for 20 yrs only general maintenance. Wish I could get another this good. Plan to help it survive so my 1st grandchild can drive the vehicle their parents learned to drive on."
