Hey guys I bought a 93 ranger super cab 3.0 4x4 5spd with 32x11.50 15s on it last week. I need help. I test drove the thing on flat ground. It was a 6 mile test. It ran fine, no odd noises, no smoke. Well I live on the side of a big hill. So Im bringing it home, and I notice that its ALOT slower than my car. (91 MR2 turbo) but its a truck. BUT i start to go up this hill, and I have to go all the way down to 3rd. I cant use 5th gear below 60 mph, and It wont reverse out of my driveway. I drove it to work and it used 3/8 tank of gas. its 24.4 miles one way and i got a 15 gal tank. Is it the tires or is it about to die?? Help?
