2007 Ford Ranger Review
Ford's compact pickup offers regular-cab and extended SuperCab models spanning six trim packages. SuperCabs have two rear fold-down jump seats as standard or optional, depending on trim, and are available with back-hinged rear access doors. Regulars offer 6- and 7-ft cargo beds; SuperCabs use the 6-ft only. Engines comprise a 2.3-liter 4-cyl and 3.0- and 4.0-liter V6s. All use manual or automatic transmission and standard rear-wheel drive. V6s also offer 4WD that should not be left engaged on dry pavement but includes low-range gearing. All models come with ABS. Leather upholstery is among the many options. Mazda's B-Series trucks are retrimmed Rangers with a different pricing and features mix.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Compact Pickups offer a true-truck design in a relatively modest package. They are best suited for personal or light-duty use rather than commercial use, heavy hauling, or towing.
Our Best Buy is the Toyota Tacoma. Our Recommended picks are the Dodge Dakota and Honda Ridgeline.
New or significantly redesigned is the Ford Explorer Sport Trac.

News
Only one plant now builds the Ranger (and Mazda's B-Series pickups), and it's set to close in 2008 as part of Ford's "Way Forward" recovery effort. So what then? Ford is said to be weighing several options, including a replacement based on the Explorer SUV or an import designed and built overseas. The latter could come from Asia or South America, where Ford branches build Rangers tailored for those markets, including crew-cab models never offered in the U.S.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
Adequate with 3.0-liter V6, but we prefer Ranger and B-Series with the 4.0 for its extra power, especially at low speeds. Either works nicely with the 5-speed automatic transmission. No 4-cyl models made available for test.

Fuel Economy
Test 4WD Ranger SuperCabs with 4.0 V6 and automatic transmission averaged 12.9-14.4 mpg in mix of city/highway driving. Expect little difference with 3.0 V6, low to mid 20s with 4-cyl models.

Ride Quality
Decent for trucks, regardless of engine or brand name. Ranger and B-Series pickups jiggle on rough roads, but absorb big bumps pretty well. Ranger FX4 has surprisingly civilized ride for an "off-road" model.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Stable in corners with moderate body lean, nicely weighted steering, good directional stability. But as usual with pickups, bumpy corners can cause rear-end hop without a substantial load in the bed.

Quietness
Noisier than Dodge Dakota, but good isolation from engine, wind, and road ruckus. The 4.0 V6 is smoother, quieter than the 3.0 V6.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Good head and leg room, but three adults a tight squeeze. Regular cab has enough seat travel, seatback recline for acceptably comfortable positioning. Entry/exit borders on awkward in high-riding 4x4s and 2WD Ranger Sports and B-Series Dual Sports.

Room/Comfort (rear)
Rear half-doors are an extended-cab plus, but are awkward to maneuver around in tight spaces. With or without those, rear seat is skimpy, cramped, and thus best used for toddlers or cargo.

Cargo Room
Regulars have useful space behind the bench or bucket seats. Extended cabs carry lots of stuff. Rear access doors don't open independently of the fronts, making loading difficult in confined spaces.

Value within Class
This basic design is more than a decade old and shows it. Rivals, all much newer, offer better power, refinement, even room and comfort. Still, Ranger and the similar Mazda B-series are proven workhorses that are attractively priced and often heavily discounted. Ford offers a wider array of features than the B-Series does, plus the convenience of more dealers.

Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's
manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker.
Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are
what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options.
The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price
and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently
throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's
window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently.
NA = price note available, NC = no charge.
