Year to Year Changes
1994 Ford Ranger:
For 1994, an extended-cab (SuperCab) Splash joined the regular-cab lineup. Starting this year, Mazda dealers began to sell a variant of the Ranger as the B-Series.
1995 Ford Ranger:
Rangers gained a fresh interior complete with a driver-side airbag, plus a new grille and 4-wheel antilock brakes for both 2- and 4-wheel-drive models. The base 4-cylinder engine jumped from 98 to 112 horsepower, and extended-cab models could be fitted with a power driver's seat.
1996 Ford Ranger:
An optional passenger-side airbag was added for '96, complete with a key-operated disabling switch--a "first" in the industry. XL and XLT models could now be ordered with the flare-fender cargo bed.
1997 Ford Ranger:
A new 5-speed automatic transmission, derived from last year's 4-speed unit was added as a new option for Rangers equipped with the 4.0-liter V6.
