Consumer Description

I AM SECOND OWNER ALWAYS GARAGED AT NIGHT. THE FRAME AND ALL PART ARE RUSTING FROM THE UNDER SIDE OUT. THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS ARE A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY ARE RUSTING BECAUSE THE FRAME AND THE MOUNTS ARE ROTTING AWAY. I HAVE A FEAR REAR BUMPER (OR SPARE TIRE) FALL OFF WHILE DRIVING....OR THE REAR SPRING SHACKLE, BRACKET RUSTING, FALLING OFF. THE FORD RANGER FRAMES ARE JUST AS BAD (OR WORSE) THAN THE TOYOTA ONES THAT WERE RECALLED (TOYOTA WAS MADE TO REPLACE THE FRAMES, OR BUY BACK THE TRUCKS). THESE TRUCKS ARE FROM 1995 TO 2000 AND PAST. I AM STEAMING MAD OVER THE REAR OF MY FRAME COMPLETELY RUSTING AWAY, WHILE THE REST OF THE TRUCK IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION, *JS
