Reviews on Ford Ranger's reliability are quite mixed. While some owners praise the model for being absolutely dependable and lovely to drive, others insist it is among the worst vehicles they have ever owned. The negatives seem to be prevailing, ranging from faulty electrics to major engine and brake issues. One of the most common complaints that drivers have is transmission related - it is reported to be too slow to change, clunky, and just annoying and not enjoyable to drive with.
Ford Ranger offers a wide variety of driver-assistance technologies. Along with the already present Lane-Keeping Alert and Lane-Keeping Aid, Adaptive Cruise Control with Forward Alert, Traffic Sign Recognition, front and rear parking sensors, rear-view camera, and Electronic Stability Control system, 2019 variants also include Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection and Intelligent Speed Limiter as standard. The former detects pedestrians, alerts the driver, and applies the brakes if the driver does not respond and the latter monitors road signs and ensures the vehicle does not go over the changing speed limits.
For its first few generations on the North American market, the Ford Ranger was only being offered in a compact two-door configuration. Four-door variants were available on other markets, but did not enter the United States until the model range's fourth generation there.
Ford Ranger is a range of compact and mid-size pick-up trucks sold worldwide. It started its history on the market in the early 80s in the United States as a compact pick-up truck. During the following generations and expansion to new markets, it grew in size and mid-sized variants were introdiced to the Ford Ranger model range.
For the latest (as of 2022) Ranger, Ford made the feature of keyless entry available as an option to add. The brand's KeyFree System makes the vehicle unlock the doors when just the presense of a key fob is detected, meaning the driver does not have to take the key fob out of their pocket or bag to enter their vehicle.
Ford introduced Ranger (T6) back in 2011. The mid-sized pick up truck comes with a variety of engines to choose from: 2.5 TDCi (109 hp); 2.3 (143 hp); 2.5 TDCi (143 hp); 3.0 TDCi (156 hp); 4.0 V6 (207 hp); 2.5 (166 hp); 3.2 TDCi (200 hp); 2.0d (214 hp) and 2.3 EcoBoost (270 hp).
