1998 Ford Ranger 2 Dr XLT Standard Cab LB Review
ProsGreat interior room for one to two passengers. Reliable, tough motor. Fuel economy good. ConsWeak AC system: '98 model "Blend door" sprocket made of plastic. WILL BREAK, very expensive to fix.

Good Truck For A Single Man — This truck lasted me through a marriage, three jobs, the birth of two kids, and college.... and is still going strong! The upgraded 2.5L engine a huge improvement over 2.3L in older models. Plenty of power in 2WD Rangers. Truck has great visibility during driving, and a comfortable ride. Currently, this truck is owned by my bro: who blew the engine up on a newer, "better" truck! Primary Use: Commuting to work

Best Truck I Have Ever Owned — This is by far the best truck I have ever owned! 4cly 5spd, I used to take it off road and beat the crap out of it in college and high school. Brother hit some black ice and went head on into some K-rail on the freeway without his seat belt on and walked away (the truck still ran great). We had the frame straightened and replaced a fender, hood, grill, and bumper. Still drive the truck everyday and pull a 18ft car hauler and a utility trailer with it regularly. It is at about 280,000 miles and still running strong. Have had no mechanical problems with this truck! Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.) | ||

ProsQuality, Value, Reliability ConsPerformance

98 Ranger — For reliability it was great..Only replaced a clutch. Performance is not good but then again it is a 4cyl 5speed. The apperance was great when I got it not so much anymore. I love driving this truck and the gas mileage it gets is very good for a pickup. It has squeaks and rattles now but then again it has 160,000 miles on it. I have owned it since 70,000 and have had to replace just a clutch. | ||

Reliable And Low Cost Maintainance. — reliable transportation. Not a good work vehicle. Can't hide much in the cab. The 4 cylinder doesn't get the greatest gas mileage. Transmission doesn't shift smoothly. I've taken this vehicle, with high mileage, on a long road trip without a break-down. Would definitely buy another one! Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsThe Stereo Consthe acceleration and speed limit

Ol' Red — The braking very good, not many repairs motor wise gas mileage is fairly good since it's from 1998 and it's just a good truck to drive. The handling is good but don't go around a curb going 60 or nothing like that. the acceleration is not the greatest but hey it's only a 290. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Ford Ranger Four Cylinder — This truck barely counts as a truck. It is slow with a four cylinder and rides way to low as a 2 wheel drive. However it does get decent gas mileage. it has held up pretty well considering its age and use. It is somewhat fun to drive | ||

1998 Ford Ranger — This truck might be small but it is able to do almost any thing that a normal sized truck can, without the worry of gas prices. Currently I can get 28 to 29 miles per gallon. The truck has a 5 speed manual transmission with a 2.5L 4 cylinder motor. Although the truck doesn't have a great towing capacity it has no problem pulling a boat or other small trailer. Overall i am very pleased with the purchase. | ||
