2000 ford ranger review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. It's well built and dependable. Interior spaces are consistently ergo friendly. Prices range from $11,485 for a 2. 5-liter 4x2 xl to $19,690 for a 3. 0-liter 4x4 xlt. A 4. 0-liter engine adds $695 to the price of 3. 0-liter models. ranger xl models are light on amenities, but long on value; they come with the basics: black vinyl floor covering, am/fm radio, vinyl seats. Xlt rangers get more chrome, handholds, an am/fm/cd sound system, cloth seats and upgraded door panels. Supercabs are based on a long 126-inch wheelbase, while regular cabs are available in short-wheelbase (112 inches) and long-wheelbase (118 inches) versions. Based on a regular cab, swb, 4x2 configuration, the battery-powered ranger is a zero-emissions vehicle (zev). Prices start at $35,100 for the dc ranger, but there are some sizable incentives for buying one that reduce prices: $30,000 in california, $28,505 in new york, and $25,000 in the other 48 states. walkaroundranger owes its smooth ride (the ride is even smooth in 4wd models, no mean feat) to a rigid frame that cuts down on vibration. Two-wheel-drive models have coil springs in the front and two-stage leaf springs in the rear. The torsion-bar suspension is smooth, and the coil-spring suspensions are smoother still. The rack-and-pinion steering found on all rangers is responsive and precise. two-wheel-drive rangers come standard with a 2. 5-liter, inline-4 engine that puts out 119 horsepower at 5000 rpm and 146 foot-pounds of torque at 3000 rpm. Available on all models, it cranks out 160 horsepower at 4200 rpm and 225 foot-pounds of torque at 2750 rpm. It compares well against toyota tacoma's high-revving 3. 4-liter v6 (190 horsepower at 4800 rpm and 220 foot-pounds of torque at 3600 rpm). It zipped down the highway, always smoothly shifting into just the right ratio for the given situation. With the 3. 0 engine, a 4x4 gets 16/20 mpg, with the 4. 0-liter a 4x4 gets 15/19. When the system is disengaged, the front drive train is disconnected at the wheels. The truck gets better fuel economy with less vibration and noise. interiorthe ranger is a people-friendly truck. It has more than adequate headroom and legroom for plus-sized passengers and drivers. It's best used for groceries, toys, or kids. In fact, just getting into that space is difficult in two-door models. instruments are well placed and quite readable, and the controls are in the expected places. Visibility is good all the way around. Instead, ford supplies a round ash cup that fits in a floor-mounted cupholder. At times, it was hard to believe that we were driving a 4wd truck with torsion-bar suspension and 16-inch all-terrain tires. The ride is that smooth. there was a fair amount of wind noise in the cab-more than one would expect from such a well-built truck. Fortunately, the superb am/fm/cd sound system that comes standard in xlt models did a good job of canceling out the noise. on-road handling is precise and responsive. The ranger tracks well and holds firmly onto the blacktop, even in sharp curves. In an emergency stop, the abs holds the truck straight and true. where this truck showed its real character, though, was on a trek into the coyote mountains, which lay at the eastern base of the sierra nevadas. While the sierra's mount tom dwarfs everything in sight with its 13,652-foot elevation, the 11,200-foot coyote ridge we reached in the ranger is no walk in the park. The track leading into the coyotes is narrow, twisting, rocky, and occasionally has holes big enough to swallow a lesser truck. We purposely held off putting the truck in 4wd as long as we could. With its big tires and limited-slip rear axle, the ranger did quite well. It wasn't until we came on one particularly steep, rough section that we felt it prudent to flip the 4wd selector switch to 4wd-high. The ranger climbed the hill like a mountain goat. We left it in 4wd the rest of the trek. The only time we shifted to 4wd-low was to gear down on a steep descent. In fact, it had better traction and handling than the full-sized suv that accompanied us. Spoke wheels, sport decal; air conditioning 805). model testedsupercab 4x4 xlt sport.
