The 2010 Ford Ranger exhibits a higher overall defect rate than the average car of the same year, with 374 defects per 100 vehicles compared to the yearly average of 294. Notably, the Ranger performs particularly well in the "Wheels, Suspensions & Axles" category, showing significantly fewer defects than average.
