I'm new here - just found this site today. Desperately missing my 98 stepside. Drove it for 8 years after buying it in 08, and finally sold it in 16 out 17, after not driving it for a while because of having a family. But just thinking back on it, although it had NO mechanical issues aside from AC that wouldn't blow cold, there were several interior plastic annoyances that kept piling up. For example, the arm rest latch broke, and I had issues with the bezels around the HVAC vents. Things like that. Just wanted to see what others have had issues with on the interior of their 3rd Gen Rangers. What are the most common parts that break, crack, come loose, or get lost, and are just annoying and hard to fix or replace?
