Ford ranger 2010 high mileage.

My ford ranger has been extremely reliable. The truck is used and the suspension tends to creak when it bounces, and my turn radius is not very tight. However, they last for a long time and I have experienced few functionality issues at high mileage. Neither inside the cab or under the hood is showing wear.

James J

Good value for the money. Dependable and easy to maintain

Great vehicle, use it to commute, vacation and hauling. Good mileage, reliable and smooth riding for a pickup.

Nate R

Four wheel and easy feel.

My Ford Ranger has been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. Maintenance is easy to take care of and with the mileage on my truck it is still good for long distance driving. I like that it has extended cab. Furthermore, it doesn't have carpet so it's easy to clean. It also does have 4 wheel drive, which is good for where I live.

Phillip W

It is a very reliable truck that is low maintenance

The only thing I didn't like was the gas gage didn't work

Rick R

It does not handle rough road in turns, kind of skips around a bit.

I love the style of my truck and the way it looks. It has a nice interior with some good features. I am sometimes unhappy with how it handles bumps in the road, particularly around corners.

Kevin C

An excellent product, for durability. However, the trim is bad.

Reliable, good economy truck- handles great. It gets over 25 miles a gallon very durable! It is probably the best vehicle I have ever owned. It handles like a dream, and is comfortable on long trips. Maintenance is very little, doesn't use any oil. Rangers typically last as long as 300,000 miles!

James B

Great vehicle! Incredibly reliable!

I purchased my ford ranger with 80,000 miles on it, and have driven cross-country multiple times, adding another 30,000 miles. With regular maintenance, I have had absolutely no problems with my ranger. The seats can become uncomfortable after driving for hours. My model is very basic, automatic transmission, with only am/FM radio.

Nick S

A 2010 Ford ranger review.

My vehicle, a 2010 Ford ranger, has great steering, handling, and maneuverability. The truck is dependable and durable. It gets up to speed pretty quickly and works really well in an urban and rural environment. It's great for a small family or a single person. Has good space in the back and it keeps groceries safe.

The range has three seats total though there is a well-sized cab.

My Ford range is an okay car. Due to the certain make, it can be difficult to drive anywhere with a lot of dips in the road and it can feel rough to drive. The space inside is really small. I can barely fit three people in and even that is uncomfortable. A positive characteristic of the range is the gas. I can put in about a half of the tank and it will last me all week.

James H

2010 ford ranger. It's small but it's comfortable, reliable and cheap on gas

It's a nice comfortable truck but it's small, very reliable, but it is slower than I'm used to, it has a small engine so it's not to good on pulling but it gets me where I need to go, I never have been a ford guy but I ended up with a ford, and to be honest I regret getting it sometimes. Don't get me wrong I love my truck it just doesn't have the power I would like it to have, but it is cheap on gas and I can trust it to go anywhere

Bryan D

It's in good shape and I take care of it.

Does everything I want, not comfortable driving.

Marcelo M

I want to kms when I have an emergency with no key ignition.

Love everything about my outlander, very reliable but the only problem I really have is that there is no key ignition for emergencies.

April T

My vehicle is out her but it still gets me where I am going and where I go.

My 2010 ford ranger is four wheel drive, it is an older truck but it gets me where I am going and it gets me to where I need to be. As long as I keep up the maintenance on, will get me where I need to go. As long as I keep the oil changed keep the tires good it'll be fine.

Gary H

Overall good truck with typical ford issues.

I have already had to replace the fuel pump. I have also had to replace the clutch. It is not very good in slippery conditions despite the fact it is a four by four. The computer chip reads air flow error so engine light constantly needs reset. Dust from brake pads make rims look terrible and is very hard to clean. Truck does ride good and is comfortable to drive. Overall looks good.

Elena S

2010 ford ranger pickup. Single cab and a 5 speed manual.

My vehicle is very reliable, it has never had any problems. It is a manual and the clutch has been in good shape for over 2 years now. The only thing I do not like about the car is that it only seats 2 people. Also it is bad at going uphill. Besides that, it is a great car. Super functional.

Sarah T

I have added a toolbox in the back of my truck for added storage.

Small. No powered windows or locks. Does not have space for people or groceries. There are three seats but can only really hold two people, which includes the driver. I would like space for more people and to carry more things, such as groceries or other everyday items.

Pros from Owners

Terry L.

This vehicle is good value for the money. It has good gas mileage. It has good utility for the size of the bed. It has been reliable. The towing capacity is low, and the rear seats can only be realistically used for children or very short hauls.

Cons from Owners

Terry L.

Rear seats not suitable for adults, poor towing capacity. Bed size restricts cargo capacity. Vehicle tends to 'fishtail' on wet roads unless the gas pedal is gingerly applied from the stop. Rear visibility is only fair.
