Year-to-year changes[edit | edit source]
1991[edit | edit source]
The best-selling compact pickup in the country, the Ford Ranger, was originally sold in the early '90s as base, S and Super Cab pickup trucks. All three were available as Short Bed pickup trucks, while the base pickup truck also had a Long Bed.
1995[edit | edit source]
The Ranger spruced up with a number of major improvements in 1995. New safety features include a driver's-side airbag, improved front-end crash protection, and a brake-transmission shift interlock (which prevents shifting automatic transmissions into gear unless the brake is applied).
Cosmetically, the Ranger gets a new grille and interior. Functional improvements include a better performing, quieter base-level engine and upgraded engine cooling.
Positioned in the middle of the compact pickup-truck market, the Ford Ranger is designed to appeal to buyers who want rugged dependability in a contemporary, aerodynamic package. The Ranger's primary competitors are the Chevrolet S-Series, GMC Sonoma and Toyota pickup.
The Ford Ranger is available in two body styles, Regular Cab and Supercab, three different wheelbases and two different cargo-bed lengths. Ford offers the Ranger in five trim levels: XL (base), XL Sport, Splash, XLT and STX. (The Splash features a narrow cargo box with bulging fenders and vestigial running boards, styling that Ford calls Flareside.)
The base-level engine remains a 112-horsepower 2.3-liter inline 4-cylinder. The optional engines are a 145-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 and a 160-horsepower 4.0-liter V6. The base transmission is a 5-speed manual, and a 4-speed automatic is optional
Four-wheel-drive versions have Ford's Touch Drive electric transfer case and automatic locking hubs for shift-on-the-fly 4wd operation.
