Well equipped, well engineered Ranger is available in regular cab and in two- and four-door SuperCab configurations.

XL and XLT 4×2 and 4×4 series are equipped with stylish standard wheels and tires; a Class III trailer hitch is standard across the line. The lower front-bumper valance has an integrated 1-inch air deflector to help reduce drag and improve fuel economy. Large fog lamps provide excellent visibility and a tougher appearance. XLT models feature body-color front and rear step bumpers and a chrome H-bar grille that is standard on 4×2 setups for a bolder look. Sport SuperCab trucks offer standard step bars, while the Sport SuperCab 4×4 is equipped with standard skid plates to protect major components at the front, middle and rear of the truck’s underbody. XLT and Sport (available on XL) models are equipped with an AM/FM stereo with an auxiliary audio input jack, and are MP3 capable. Efficient engine and transmission options Ranger offers two engine choices: a 2.3-liter double-overhead-cam (DOHC) I-4 and a 4.0-liter single-overhead-cam (SOHC) V-6. The DOHC 2.3-liter engine produces 143 horsepower at 5,250 rpm and 154 ft.-lb. of torque at 3,750 rpm, and offers outstanding fuel economy. It’s the standard engine for XL and XLT 4×2 Regular Cab and two-door SuperCab. The larger SOHC 4.0-liter V-6 produces 207 horsepower at 5,250 rpm and 238 ft.-lb. of torque at 3,000 rpm. It’s the standard engine for XL 4×4, XLT 4×2 four-door SuperCab and 4×4, and all Ranger Sport models. Both engines come standard with a five-speed manual transmission and are available with a smooth, durable five-speed automatic transmission. Safety and security Ranger provides high levels of safety and security via the Ford Personal Safety System™, AdvanceTrac with RSC, seat-mounted side airbags, Tire Pressure Monitoring System and SecuriLock® passive anti-theft system, all included as standard equipment on all models. AdvanceTrac with RSC delivers a level of performance that competitive stability control systems can’t match. Unlike competitors’ systems, AdvanceTrac with RSC utilizes a second gyroscopic roll rate sensor to determine the vehicle’s body roll angle and roll rate. If the unique roll rate sensor detects a significant roll angle, the system applies additional countermeasures – such as applying brakes to one or more wheels or reducing engine power – to enhance vehicle rollover resistance. Also standard is a four-wheel Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), along with driver and front passenger airbags, seat belts with front pretensioners for outboard seating positions and side-intrusion door beams. The Ford front-passenger sensing system helps ensure airbags are not deployed on the passenger side when small children are detected.
