Why is my Ford Ranger making a loud knocking noise?

I recently noticed that my Ford Ranger is making a loud knocking noise when I accelerate. It seems to be coming from the engine area. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

It sounds like there may be an issue with your engine. I would recommend taking your Ford Ranger to a trusted mechanic for a diagnosis and repair.

I had a similar issue with my Ford Ranger and it turned out to be a faulty oil pump. I had it replaced and the knocking noise went away.

Make sure to check your oil levels and change your oil regularly. Lack of proper lubrication can cause knocking noises in the engine.
