Me heart ford
Power window wiring problems-dealer fixed with much debating.
Handle on passenger door came loose and fell off at 10,000 miles.
I love this truck... It is small and handles well! Love the interior and exterior... The scoop hood is a very nice touch... Me HEART Ford.

Best value on the auto market today!
Absolutely Nothing!
I am overjoyed with this truck! Sure it could use more power, but is great for a 2.3. The trans grinds too easily, but has gotten better with time (remembering this IS a truck and tall stick shifting isn't always sports-car-smooth). Build quality, reliability and the stereo have been more than expected. This is the best valued vehicle on the market today!!!

Everyday driver
Nothing has gone wrong (as of yet).
Little upset at the dealer that they didn't remove the shipping wax properly and I spent 35$ removing it myself!
Shipping wax = when you wash your new vehicle and dry it.. then run your fingers along the paint, and it should be smooth like a baby's bum... not rough! that's shipping wax!
I was always a car man, But when I first seen the New Ford Ranger Edge, I had to have it!
The 3.0L 6 is a lil noisy when you give her, but it has enough power for me.
I use to own a 305 Carburated motor in my car, and was expecting a lot better gas mileage on my Ranger, but still haven't noticed any??
The stereo sounds good.. have never had to go above half on the sound scale. Interior is super easy to clean, lots of room under the hood for changing plugs, oil, etc.
I love the way the front looks, scoop hood, fog lamps, looks real mean.

Tough little package
Nothing at all.
I love the rubber flooring, makes cleaning wonderfully easy.
The 4x4 with 4.10 gears from the factory makes trailing really easy, and I do a lot of trailing for photography.

A sharp looking performer
Nothing has gone wrong as of late.
In my opinion, the '02 Ranger Edge is an extremely sharp looking truck. Everything about its appearance and performance has exceeded my expectations.
However, I believe that there should be more after-market parts in the way of performance and cosmetics.

If you live outside the states, there is a possibility that you're new Ford truck was a salvaged vehicle deported outside the states.
You are right about the after market parts. I can't seem to find much in the way of performance enhancing parts and I work in a parts store!
As far as the vehicle itself, its great. I've had mine for three years now and still love it. Sure, theres rattles and stuff, but you get that with any vehicle. I am looking for new wheels though, I just have the steel painted wheels.
This is the most durable truck I ever owned. I off road constantly, go over the limit on weight hauling, and over all I am hard on the truck. The only problem I had in the three years I've had it was the air bags deployed when going into a mud pit. I never had to take it in besides oil changes and brake work. Your general maintenance. Not once let me down. Remember looks are not that important (its off road more than on).

I am a not so proud of a 2002 Ford Ranger Edge. Sure it looks sharp, but is unreliable. New Transmission, New Drive Shaft, New DPS, new speakers three times and still don't work, new cab mounts, new CD player, front end shimmies not fixed to date, interior cab rattles, not fixed to date. Doors had to be rehung.
This all from a 2002 Ford Ranger Edge, that currently has 20500km on it after a year and a half owning it. It spends more time in the shop than it does in my yard.
