1990 Ford Ranger Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, Ford Ranger owners are quite satisfied with their trucks. They love the solid build, decent power from the engine, and good fuel economy, especially for its age. Many appreciate its reliability and feel it's a fun vehicle to drive. However, some drivers wish for better acceleration and had concerns about hauling capacity. The truck's performance in tough conditions received positive feedback, while a few mentioned the need for body work after many years of use."
Loved the 302 V8, wish that would've been a factory option. Great performance in the straightline as well as when the curves got tight. Being so customized does lead to some headaches the rare occasions it had issues. Great looks, a real sleeper. Fuel mileage was horrendous-but considering how it was tuned for maximum power, expected. Most fun vehicle I've ever had.
September 27, 2012being a truck that was not built for speed but rather a comfortable drive I feel it deserves 5 stars across the board. It had great gas mileage, it had some get up and go and the appearance was amazing, if properly maintained.
September 17, 2010Amazing 25+ MPG with the fuel injected 2.3 liter. OK power with the 5 spd. Very few problems with this vehicle. Put over 20k miles on it in less then 2 years and only replaced a couple sensors, never left me stranded.

December 28, 2009The 4.0L OHV is one hell of an engine, nearly indestructible with plenty of power to spare. When I bought it, I could tell it had been driven hard and partially neglected. A can of restore and a cold air intake was more then enough to solve the problems. I've had this truck for a year now, and it has never let me down. Highway mileage is impressive, and it's decently quick. And there's no doubt when you get in, it feels like a truck should, and trust me when Mother Nature's fury comes bearing down on you, the four wheel drive with the Traction-Lok limited slip comes at Mother Nature like a spider monkey! A little sand in the back and it powers through ice and snow like a drive through the park. GOD I love this truck, and I have no plans on selling it. Ever.
November 22, 2008this ranget has the 2.9L v-6 aluminum block with the 5 inch posi rear end 5 speed manual... i have not had a problem with this truck since the day i bought it. it will bark the tires at will and it gets about 25 mpg's ... for a 6 cylinder it kicks ass!
October 8, 2009Its perfect for me . Has everything I am looking for. Plus it is affordable and good gas mileage Melissa Ferguson
August 5, 2023You just can not beat an old ford, its very reliable, gets decent gas millage, looks above average for its age( self painted). Its got the power to spin tires and has posi-track, causing great burnouts. Its definatly broken in, making it a very comfy and relaxing ride. Eats dodges for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
August 13, 2008fun truck had a blast in it, it wouldn't die for anything
February 11, 2008Too slow, wish I had the 4.0L and a 5 speed. On the upside, I can go damn near anywhere. Bought it for next to nothing and haven't had to put too much into it. Running 31" BFG all Terrains.
November 18, 2009love the ranger and cant wait to turbo the thing,. it will be awd at that point. i mean come on i hit a deer at 70 mph and drove away with just minor cosmetics. the truck rocks end of story
