We have classified the 1 complaints from 2006 Ford Ranger about TIRES into the following categories.
I was driving down the road and i hit a bump and my spare tire fell down and out of the truck onto the highway. i stopped immediately and retrieved my wheel of the highway and saw that it was still connected to part of the mount. the next day i drove to a repair shop to put the truck on a lift to look at the damage and realized that the entire frame had rotted under the truck. i left the repair garage and was heading home when i hit a pothole the entire driver side front frame rotted and the wheel fell partially off the truck, so i had the truck towed to my office parking lot and parked it, because it is not drivable anymore. i contacted ford they told me to have it towed to a local dealership and they would send a rep out to look at it. so i did and the rep never came out and they told me to have it removed, that the rep called them and said they would not repair anything, so the truck still sits rotted and parked, and remember it only has 17,900 miles on it, thank you. *tr
I bought a new 2006 ford ranger sports truck from akins ford in april 2006. the truck had goodyear wrangler tires on the truck when i bought it. i rotated the truck several times since owning the truck and have even had a flat tire. the tire was replace, repaired and then put back on the truck. i was preparing for a highway trip to new orleans, so i was having the tires rotated when i discovered that all 4 four of the tires were dryrotting. each tire had evidence of the dryrotting on the inside (the opposite side from the raised white lettering) of the tire. i contacted goodyear customer service and referred to a local goodyear dealer. the examined the tires and estimated that i had 50% wear left on the tires. my truck has 74,000+ miles on the original tires. goodyear was only willing to prorate the remaining wear for the cost of new set of goodyear. i did not want another set of goodyear since the problem was new tires that were dryrotted and surely had not planned to purchase a new set of tires at this time. my greatest concern was my safety and the safety of others while i was driving. *tr
