What is the most common issue with the Ford Ranger engine?

I have recently noticed that my Ford Ranger is having engine problems, and I'm wondering if it's a common issue among Ranger owners. Is there something specific I should be looking out for?

As a long time Ford Ranger owner, I can tell you that the most common issue with the engine is the timing belt failing. It's important to keep an eye on the mileage and replace it as recommended by the manufacturer.

I've been a mechanic for 10 years and I see a lot of Ford Rangers with exhaust manifold leaks. This can cause loss of power and excess noise. It's important to get it fixed right away to avoid further damage.

I have a Ford Ranger and my only advice is to make sure you keep up with regular maintenance and keep an eye out for any warning signs. This will help prevent any major issues.
