Pros: Looks great and functions at a highly reliable level.
Cons: None.
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend the Ford Ranger XLT as an affordable mid-sized work truck.
I purchased my 1999 Ford Ranger not to long ago and am totally happy with what I have experienced so far. This category covers only your basic Ranger but I don’t have one of those. Instead, this opinion will be about my 4x4 Ford Ranger XLT.

Pros: Well built; comfortable
Cons: Lacks power in some situations
Saturday, February 20, 1999 dawns bright and crisply cold at our home on the coast of Maine. Six inches of new snow are on the ground, but the roads are clear. I am in a particularly good mood. Today is our 28th wedding anniversary. I’m feeling...

Pros: Paint, Price(Buy only with extended extended warranty)
Cons: Name a component; I'll name something wrong with it.
What could anyone be thinking to buy this truck?!? As my good friend Foxspy said, its not a truck! Its a compact car with an oversize trunk.
Pro's you say? You want pro's to this car? Ok, I'll try, but its not going to be easy.

Pros: Good Engine, Good Tansmission, 4 doors, all around sweet ride.
Cons: Is actually a 3 Adult and 2 kid seater.
I bought this truck new (had 800 Miles on it, that's new in my book) about 2 weeks ago. Although I have only had it for a short time, I find the ride very enjoyable, on the highway as well as through town. Through town the ride is a little bumpy... but...

Pros: tough and reliable
Cons: make sure you get the larger engine
My wife and I are on our second Ford Ranger. We leased our first one two and a half years ago. We've found that the Ranger is tough and reliable. Not a thing has gone wrong with either Ranger that we've owned.
The Ranger that we currently...

Pros: Very Safe
Cons: Fuel Economy
Good Points:
I bought my 99 Ford Ranger last year with 13K miles. Around 17K miles I was involved in an accident. I was very impressed on how well the truck withstood the damage. I hit a full size truck in front of me and I was able to rip his...

Pros: Maneuverable, Cheap, Great economy
Cons: Small Cab, Rough Highway Ride
I bought the 1999 Ranger when I was in desperate need of a Automobile. I went to the Ford dealer closest to me and took the cheapest truck on the lot. I have owned my ranger for 18 months and drive it on a daily basis.
I like the way that it...

Pros: 4 Doors !!
Cons: 3.0 liter engine is a little weak
I bought a 1999 extended cab Ford Ranger last March. For $600, I upgraded to the four door model. It has proven to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. Having the extra doors allows for passengers to easily enter the back seats (which...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No
Pros: Great handling w/Sport pkg, Great stereo
Cons: Poor MPH, Poor Engineering/Assembly/Support
The Bottom Line: Basically a decent truck built by a company that really doesn't give a damn about customer relations. Some are good and some are not. Beware of drivetrain problems....
UPDATE - Well, I decided not to keep it. Had a flat and the spare tire lock was corroded into place so bad the dealer had to tear out the spare carrier and replace it under warranty.
The brakes started grabbing pretty bad in the wet and the...

Pros: Nice paint
Cons: Everything else
My neighbor owns a 1999 Ford Ranger, two door, two wheel drive, and it has the four doors. Not the real four doors, but the two doors that open backwards.
She has owned this truck for about eight months and it has been to the shop about six...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: low price, large amount of available options
Cons: poor construction, little storage room
The Bottom Line: It's just poorly made.
I bought the cheapest American made(I'm a patriot, so sue me) truck I could find, and it is a Ford Ranger with no options save the am/fm stereo, which I begrudgingly accepted.
As far as automobiles go, I would consider myself an audiophile,...

My husband has always wanted a new truck and last year we went searching for a new vehicle. We waited until the end-of-the-year clearance time and we found it! We got in on a Ford red carpet lease at 3/4% interest! For real! This was a terrific deal...

The model of Ranger I have driven is a 1999 XLT regular cab 4x2 with the off road/lift kit from the factory. Keep in mind that I do not own this truck, but do drive it extensively in all types of conditions since my work involves the use of a fleet of...
