Ranger XLT V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 63,000 miles

Purchased this vehicle from a private seller. Noticed rust on the frame but that is very common in the Northeast. Shocks needed replacing so the vehicle was put on a lift. It was then that a crack in the frame just in front of the driver side rear tire was discovered. Upon further checking a smaller crack was discovered on the passenger side same area. The frame is so rusted that a person can pull on it and actually move it. While tapping the frame with a hammer it went through in a couple of places. According to my mechanic there is no fix for this without replacing the whole frame and the vehicle is unsafe to drive.
