2009 Ford Ranger consumer reviews

I wanted a nice pickup that gets really good mileage! It?s a 2.3 4 cylinder 5 speed! Runs great! I?m 6?5 so it?s rather small, but all around a great little truck!

I love this truck, I just don't use it much anymore. I am the original owner and it has hauled everything from mulch to furniture to lumber and has helped my two children with several moves.

Good little truck for the price. It was well maintained by the previous owners . Drives and handles well.

This model is average it has its faults too as any other but is reliable, we had problems with the fuel filter also always replacing it & some other issues, But really liked the model.

this is my 3rd ranger. i love it. i will buy another one. it get's great gas milage. has all the options i want. the F-150 was larger than i wanted. the previous owner wishes he would have kept it.

Very reliable, quick, fuel efficient, perfect for throwing my surfboard in the back, camping gear, and hauling whatever else. Only negative is the crammed back seats, and stiff suspension.

It appears that every Ford Ranger we drove has a squeak in the doors when the driver or passenger windows are down. Other than that it has been a good truck.

Cant say enough good things about this truck. It's super rugged , from the interior , engine , exterior. Powers thru anything , gas with a stick shift 2.3 engine I'm getting 28-30 MPG. Best part is no bells and whistles , (less stuff to worry about getting stolen or breaking.) Best work, off roading and commuting truck , EVER!!

I purchased a new 09 regular cab, I4, stick shift Ranger XLT for its compact size and efficiency. I had a 97 before this one. Unlike the tacoma uncomfortable bench seat, it has split seats with adjustable backs which are very comfortable. Yes, the rear suspension is a bit stiff and can hop but otherwise it drives very well. Consistently get 28 to 30 MPG, and it has plenty of power for my modest truck needs(dump runs, etc.). Love the truck! Will Ford replace it? If so, I hope they can resist making it bigger.

I bought this 09 truck in Feb 2011 with 4865 miles on it. My last truck was a 99 Ranger. The 99 was a beautiful red truck in perfect condition with no problems. Very reliable until a GEICO customer ran a red light and totaled it. This is the second Ranger XLT Sport Supercab I have owned. They are great trucks. They aren't quite as comfortable as the BIG trucks, but with this 4 cylinder engine I get 21 mpg and can tow 5500 lbs, which is plenty for the average guy. The suspension is tough enough that the ride is a little rough on bad roads. The ride is good enough that I have driven from South Bend, IN to Norman, OK a couple of times without stopping overnight. The sound system is good. I recommend the sliding rear window and the pop out side rear windows. That will give you good ventilation for the warm days without the AC on, but on the hot days, the AC is cold. With the remote entry, the styling of this truck, the size and the economy of the four cylinder engine, I really enjoy driving this truck.
