The Ford Ranger, Sometimes You Get It Right The First Time

on

When Ford engineers sat down to come up with a light-weight truck they prescribed it to be tough, trustworthy, and efficient; the Ford Ranger was the outcome. With three types to pick from, the Ford Ranger makes a perfect business vehicle that is Eco-friendly and can tow your entire payload. Seems like everywhere you go Ford Rangers are getting the job done; auto parts delivery, small watercraft towing, long distance hauling, and any other ‘medium-duty’ task is no challenge for the feisty Ford Ranger.

The base Ford Ranger XL is available in a standard 2-door and a super-cab two-door. The XL has a 4-cylinder engine, 5-speed manual overdrive transmission, gas-charged shocks, front and side airbags, anti-lock brakes, a tire pressure monitoring system, and 15″ seven-spoke steel rims. The Ford Ranger XLT comes in the 2-door and 4-door version. It has an available 4.0L SOHC V6 or the four-cylinder engine, a digital shift-on-the-fly transfer case, class III towing ability, optional AM/FM stereo with CD player, SIRIUS satellite radio, and 15″ 7-spoke steel wheels. The Ford Ranger Sport is available in the 2 and 4-door super-cab. The Sport has 4.0L SOHC V6 engine, 5-speed manual overdrive transmission, heavy duty gas-charged shocks, an optional SIRIUS satellite radio, and 16″ Y-spoke cast alloy wheels.

With its solid reliability record, choice of body types, and wide selection of trim packages the Ford Ranger has proven it’s here to stay. Throw in the fact that the Ford Ranger is well priced against its main opposition and it’s no surprise they continue to out sell the competition. Ford Ranger titleholders are also happy to learn that their trucks have one of the highest resale values in their division. It’s said that after Armageddon only cockroaches will make it, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ford Rangers are still rolling along as well.
