problem #1

Aug 152002

Ranger 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • miles
Roof support/ vehicle has a tendency to bounce all over the road bad suspension! higher center gravity! more accessible to roll, not only to roll and lose control the roof support is nothing but thin cheap metal that can be easily smushed. I know I broke my neck and now I am disable....Ford Ranger shouldn't be on the road with a higher center of gravity...make them safer....wider or lower but not the way they are now truck is a hazard a life threatening hazard..more ways than one!
