General Review

Just bought a 1999 Ford Ranger about 6 weeks ago. 5 speed, 2.5 four cylinder engine, plain jane. 187k miles. Seems to be a pretty good little truck. I gave $1800. Id say if you can stay around that price youll do well.
The only problem Ive had with it is the battery light comes on occasionally, but the needle says o.k., a meter I keep plugged into the cigarette lighter says o.o., and the parts place tested the battery and alternator with their big tester and it said all o.k.. So I think its just a minor thing.
The 5 speed transmission shifts slightly rough at times. I changed the fluid in it, but cant tell any difference. Ive read that these transmissions arent that great, even though its a stronger transmission than they used on earlier models.
The truck is supposed to have 14 inch wheels, but someone had put 15 inch Ford mag wheels on it, and its sits up substantially higher than an S-10 or Nissan truck, which I like.
In general, Im very satisfied.
