Ford Rangers from the late 1990s and early 2000s, particularly the 1999, 2001, 2004, and 2006 models, are known to have reliability issues. The 2019 model, which was the first year of the Ranger's return to the market after an eight-year hiatus, also has a lower reliability record.
The 1999, 2001, 2004, 2006, and 2019 Ford Rangers stand out as years to avoid due to their significant reliability issues. Whether it's engine trouble, transmission failures, or safety concerns, these years left many owners frustrated.
