What are the most common problems with the Ford Ranger?

Is the Ford Ranger reliable, or does it have a lot of problems? I’ve been thinking about buying a Ranger, but I’m considering an older model and I’m worried it could break down.

It’s good that you’re doing your research! The most common problems with the
Ford Ranger
have to do with the engine. Ranger owners reported issues with things like a misfiring engine, stalling, power loss, and shaking.
Overall, though, the Ranger is pretty reliable. It scores well compared to other trucks in its class and it has average ownership costs. Issues with the Ranger are also relatively infrequent and typically don’t cost much to repair, so it’s unlikely that you’ll need to pay a lot for repairs.
