Ford Ranger

The Ford Ranger has been America’s best-selling compact pickup for 17 years running. As a work truck, the Ford Ranger offers the driver the ability to carry a large amount of equipment through the Amherst region at affordable prices.

Available as a 4×2 Regular cab or 4×2 and 4×4 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.
