Sounds like you got a lemon that was owned by someone that doesn't know how to take care of a vehicle. I have a plain Jane "S" model 1987 Ranger with a 2.3 engine and standard transmission. I bought this truck brand new in June of 87. It is now Oct 2013 and I still drive this truck every day. It has 250,000 miles on it with the original, never rebuilt engine and transmission. You judging an entire company or particular product line of that company, just because you had a piece of garbage, is just wrong. It's a shame you feel the way you do, because Rangers are tough little trucks. Mine has always done all I asked of it, and then some.

I have had my Ford for going on 26 years, and the only thing I had to replace was the motor mounts and a water pump. I have even been hit, rolled the truck, and all we had to do was roll it back over, and it drove like nothing happened. This truck saved my life.
