considering getting a 2009 ford ranger has anyone got any experience with them common faults, mpg, what there lik off road etc cheers for the help

 

could realy do with any input going to see one on tuesday

 

I've got a57 plate 3L auto. No probs yet, it is quiet heavy on fuel with it being a auto. It pulls well, not sure about off road, but I've only needed top put it in 4wd twice in the snow

 

cheers mate not to bothered about fuel because am getting rid of a range rover so its gotta be better than that just wondering if there is any common faults to worry about realy

 

Great trucks, however the latest model is due out any day now so i'd hang on a few weeks as no doubt used prices will tumble.

 

Cheers mate seen one at the right price with the cover on the back and off road tyres it's just what I need for me shooting and the dogs just heard they can be bad on clutches so was a bit worryed

 

Theres a few in the fleet i work on and they have been.really good.Its a mazda with a ford badge on it.

 

There was a problem with the cold starting on some of them which was sorted with a fuel filter upgrade something to do with the fuel freezing so they changed the mesh inside the filter.

Also ive changed a few 5th gears on them too just try taking it for a longish drive and get it upto temp then just put it in 5th and drive see if it jumps out if it does its lack of oil getting to the 5th gear which causes this, now ford have brought out a upgraded gear out to solve this problem.

Apart from this and worn lock stops they very rarely go wrong hope this helps.
Cheers Steve
