COMPARISON

Among compact pickups, it's still the pick of the pack.

LIKED_MOST

Ranger team revised the suspension to quell the previous truck's somewhat wallowy ride and herky-jerky handling.

Car and Driver

Transmission will shift hard and fast when instructed by a heavy right foot.

ONE_LINER

Edge model I drove was loaded with enough gauges to satisfy a classic sports-car buff.

Edmunds.com

New Ranger edge is positioned between the XL and XLT and aimed at younger buyer.

The engine (4.0-liter) felt powerful at all times and even sporty.

Overall, we found the new styling to be, well, stylin'

Model Reviews

Available as a 4x2 Regular cab or 4x2 and 4x4 Supercab the Ranger is offered in four trims: XL, XLT, Sport and FX4 Off-Road. A 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine generates 143 horsepower and a 4.0-liter V6 engine produces 207 horsepower. Available transmissions include a standard five-speed manual or an optional five-speed automatic. The supercab is available as a two-door, or as a four-door with jump seats. A trailer hitch and safety features such as four-wheel anti-lock brakes and dual-stage front airbags are standard equipment. For 2009, the Ford Ranger is a carryover from 2008. The Ford Ranger has been America's best-selling compact pickup for 17 years running. As a work truck, the Ford Ranger offers serious truck capability at affordable prices.
