Ranger ABS systems by year:
1989~1994:
RABS (1-channel, 2-wheel, rear-only ABS) was standard factory equipment on all U.S. production Rangers.
1995~2000:
RABS continued to be standard.
4WABS (3-channel, 4-wheel ABS) became available as an option depending on other equipment.
2001~2009:
4WABS (3-channel, 4-wheel ABS) + EBFD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution) became standard factory equipment on all Rangers. RABS was discontinued and no longer available.
2010~2011:
4WABS (4-channel, 4-wheel ABS) + EBFD
The ABS also provides inputs to the traction control, ESC (Electronic Stability Control) and RSC (Roll Stability Control) systems.

heres a pic of the proportioning block as I could not find a pic of the abs control module. If you follow the harness back it will be plugged into the control module which, iirc, is located on a frame rail.
If your truck was built in the US, it has/or had ABS as none were delivered without it. However, over time, it may have been bypassed or eliminated.
You could also try a panic stop (try to lock the brakes) on a slippery surface. Obviously...be careful but a properly functioning ABS will transmit a pronounced pulsation to the brake pedal, you'll feel it.
