TIRES
THE FORD RANGER I PURCHASED SKIDS WHEN IT CROSSES OVER A MANHOLE. I'VE ALMOST LOST CONTROL SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR A LIGHT TRUCK AND THAT AFTER THE SUSPENSION BREAKS-IN IT WILL NO LONGER BEHAVE THIS WAY. ITS ALMOST A YEAR LATER AND THERE ARE NO CHANGES. IT FEELS DANGEROUS TO ME.
