While the Ranger performs better in the category of Wheels, Suspensions & Axles, it stands out negatively in several areas, including Steering, Lights & Electrics, Body/Structure, and Equipment, with considerable percentages worse than the average. This suggests that while the Ranger has strengths, particularly in suspension, it faces notable challenges related to steering and electrical components.
