Not Your Father’s Ranger – The 1992 Ford Ranger S
As time has gone by several things can be said about the Ford Ranger series: including the strong reaction most buyers have towards their truck. The 6-cylinder engine is at the core of the strong emotions, it is reliable for its class and delivers a huge amount of torque.
Ford Ranger Engine Specs
The Ranger S is equipped with a Ford 4.0 liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 12 valves. The engine is mated to a Toyo Kogyo (Mazda) 5-speed Transmission. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Standard Cab Pickup arena.
The Ranger uses power-assisted brakes, with 2-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. Steering is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The truck uses coil and leaf springs front and rear respectively.
The fuel system for the 1992 Ranger is a EFI design, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 16.30 gallons.
Vehicle Statistics
The dimensions of the Ranger S are 66.80 inches wide by 188.50 inches long. It sits a comfortable 63.60 inches off the ground. It seats a standard three passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 113.90 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.
The standard warranty period for the Ranger is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. The warranty also includes a warranty on the drivetrain for 36* months or 50,000* miles respectively. This is standard in the standard cab pickup market. Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $10,196 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-high price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Standard Cab Pickup.
Fuel Efficiency
The Ranger S received a miles-per-gallon rating of 20 - 23 in-city driving and 23 - 28 when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green truck, this was exceptional.
