1996 Ford Ranger consumer reviews

I had my 96 until I was T-Boned at a stop light while visiting Spokane. The air bags actually deployed in spite of the vehicle being over 24 years old. I was amazed and it probably saved me from broken bones or a skull fracture. I was sad to see this vehicle go because it was totaled and there is nothing out there that even compares to the great years of service. The model I had included a 3.3L v6 and Posi traction drivetrain with the full towing package. I hauled heavy items across the cascades several times without an issue.

Purchased my XL Extended cab new in 1995. Four cylinder engine, but with the dual plug system. Has 243,000 miles on it, at 236K replaced the timing belt, just replaced the clutch, at 210K did replace some front end steering parts, found out the youngsters ran it in the ditch, kids! So far I have yet to tune it up, just keeps running and running. Best vehicle ever as far as I'm concerned, it was a daily commuter car but has been relegated to work around the neighborhood. Don't know if I can part with it even though I purchased a new vehicle.

It speaks for itself. I've owned it for 24 years. I LOVE MY TRUCK! The dealership service department did not fix my truck the first time and on the second time messed up the odometer/trip!

lot of fun, work horse love this truck just a solid truck. gets you out of the snow, dirt, you name it ... just a great truck,

This is the second one I've owned. It has plenty interior space and is the perfect sized pickup. Very few problems since ive owned it. Basic maintenance is all actually. I love it!!!!

This truck just keeps going! Ranger engines built before year 2000 are known as 'Die Hard'. If you need a basic work truck or fixer-upper this is the one for you! Only two owners, new brakes and power boosters, bed liner good condition.

About this 96 Ford Ranger 4 by 4 6 months ago running good up until the other day I've developed a misfire on Cylinder 6 I replaced everything to do with this parking system still have not figured out what's causing it I love the way this vehicle runs and rides just wish I could figure out this issue

Great trucks all have been good to me. The eighths was the best trucks. Wish they would start making them again. The 99 I have now needs some front end work from rust but still runs great.

This car is versatile...It did all I asked of it...Reliable? The Ford Ranger is about as reliable as they come...Good rig to own...I like it!

The best vehicle I ever owned. I had mine for 15 years. Prior to that a relative had it for 7 years. Never a problem. Not one.
