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.

The most common problems with the
Ford Ranger
have to do with the engine
Ranger owners reported issues such as:
  • Misfiring engine
  • Stalling
  • Power loss
  • Shaking
Overall, though, the Ranger is pretty reliable. It scores well compared to other trucks in its class and it has average ownership costs. 
Keep in mind: Issues with the Ranger are relatively infrequent and typically don’t cost much to repair, so it’s unlikely that you’ll need to pay a lot for repairs.
