Can i take my 1996 ford ranger on a road trip?

Thinking about taking a road trip whenever i get some time off of school and just wanted to know if it would be a good idead to take my 1996 ford ranger on a road trip from san Francisco to maybe la or san diego?

I'm trying to make an appointment for my driving test online?

I drive a 2002 Ford Edge Ranger, I think is what its called, I don't have it with me at the moment because my dad drives it right now but it won't accept anything I put for the model of the car. Iv tried
2002 edge
edge
edge ranger
ranger
ranger edge
2002 ranger
2002 ranger edge
and probably more but it won't accept any of this. Can someone please help me.

Alright, i'm 17 and don't know a lot about cars or trucks. I have an 02 ranger 4.0 V6?

When i first got it, the door ajar light stayed on because of a busted latch. So the bed light would stay on, so i turned the dimmer off so the light would stay off. Then the door ajar light never came on, the speedometer stopped working, the wipers and washers stopped working, the mileage stopped going up, the fog lights did not work, and the auto window did not work. Then the brakes went so i sent it to a shop, they did the brake lines, replaced the wiper motor and replaced 4 blown fuses. Then everything worked, the bells and chimes, the door ajar came back on and stayed on, (because the latch was still busted) i turned the dimmer back into the locked position about a month later, but the bed light did not come on, then i turned and my speedometer and mileage didn't work, auto window, wipers and fluid all did not work again. So i don't know what the problem is. I checked the little 2 prong fuses with a multimeter, but i did not check relays or the bigger fuse looking things. Can someone tell me why my speedometer, wipers and washers, mileage, and door ajar light, bells and chimes and auto window are not working? 2002 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 4.0 V6

2002 ford ranger won't start?

My 2002 Ford ranger 3.0L V6 RWD, won't start. I've been having trouble with it starting the past few months so I put in a new battery about 2 months ago and I just put in a new alternator about 3 weeks ago. Then last night I went out after work to start it and it just clicked and wouldn't start. Now every time I turn my key it doesn't make any noise at all. My dome light turned on when I first got in but after I turned the key I lost the lights. What could be the problem?! Starter? Ignition? I'm not much of an auto guy so i don't know where to start after already replacing my battery and alternator. My hood release cable is also broken so I haven't been able to try jumping it or anything. I've been trying to read up on how to open the hood with a broken release cable. All help is appreciated!
