While other trucks are dialing down the number of bed and cab configurations offered, the Ford Ranger still gives you two choices. You can either have an extended cab (SuperCab) with a 6-foot bed or a crew cab (SuperCrew) with a 5-foot bed. Do you need more room in the cabin or the bed?
What powers the Ford Ranger midsize truck?
Ford gives us three trim levels for the Ranger. All models use the same 2.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that delivers 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. This engine mates to a 10-speed automatic transmission to send power to either the rear or all four wheels.
