Ranger 6-cyl

  • 77,995 miles
I took the truck to have muffler replaced and behind both front wheels the frame is rotten to the point it is no longer safe to drive. 3 years ago I had the tie rod end fall out in the driveway. The truck runs great, body is still shiny and in good shape but the frame is totally rotten. When the truck was about 4 years old the oil pan rotted out and to replace it the motor has to be pulled. I maintained the truck well only to find out it is junk at 78,000 miles and only worth junk price. Seem I am not the only one with this happening. I have always bought Ford trucks but not anymore.
