My little ranger has very close to 400 k mile gets 25 mpg no matter how i drive it and is very easy to fix for the most part, the twin i beam suspension was a great very durable design and also easy to repair if need be, my 4 cyl all iron motor has a bit of a weakness in the head gaslet department but the exact same engine turbo'a and intercooled pushed the 88 t bird along at 137 mph and also around 25 mpg, I really think ford stopped making them because guys wouldnt replace them fast enough, after 97 they went to a ball joint front end but the trannys were great etc, eventually they became ford explorers the maligned scourge of the suburbs, however there were thousands running around the country loaded to the gill s with stuff going 80 mph on underinflated tires and even then not really that many had trouble, I say you can always tell a cars worth by the fact that even with 200 k miles on them people still think there worth three grand or more when they sell them. I have never passed a ford explorer or a jeep chereokee for that matter. , there always flying along, drive me crazy really ,
