I've be working on fords since the 60's and driving them full time since the 70's. My wife's 96 ranger super cab has near 200K miles on it. The engine is still running strong but the other things that go wrong, ie, clutch slave cylinder, tranny case oiler breaking and siezing and now the blend door for the heater all cost $1000 or more to fix and I'm tired of it. She doesn't want a full size pickup but does want at least a supercab style with the 3 rd door for access. I've been reading about the Toyota Tundra. But the more I read, it sounds like they have serious brake problems. Our Ranger also has had funny and mushy brakes since the day we drove it off the dealers lot.
What's your take on this?
I'd love to get her a F150 but I know she really likes the Ranger supercab size.
