The back end frame has completely rusted out, while the cab frame is in perfect condition. I have read about everyone that has a ranger from 1995-200 has had this issue. My truck only has 127k miles on it and has been kept in wonderful condition, and the bed frame has made it unsafe to drive.

Frame has rusted to the point where it is unsafe to drive.

Both the back seat small doors were locked and unoperable since 2015 (the dealer refused to repair without paying for service- they said will cost $1,000.00 for each door and just to exam cost. That was not the repair cost yet) 2020 in august, perhaps, the back gate door for the trunk suddenly collapsed, felled out from the roller. That was the passenger side of the back gate to the bed of the truck I had to put back to the roller. And, it is not sure that the gate is stable condition. Under the dashboard, the cigarette lighter just touched and collapsed-broken inside under the dashboard and could not pull it out. So, it is still inside under the dashboard (notice: that feature-the cigarette lighter nobody used since bought the vehicle- non smoker owner). The under body vehicle cost a lot to repair through the years. The vehicle has about 120,000 miles currently.
