The 1991 Ford Ranger S was introduced to compete in the standard cab pickup market. The S is a member of a series of five trim levels for the Ranger which include XLT, Custom, S, STX, and Sport. The two-door truck with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Ford. There is strong competition from vehicles from Kia.

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.

Vehicle Statistics

The Ranger is 188.50 inches long, 66.80 inches wide, and 63.60 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 113.90 inches. It is able to seat 3 comfortably.

The listed retail price in 1991 (MSRP) was $10,920, with an invoice cost of an industry-average price. This price is above average of the industry average price for a two-door Standard Cab Pickup.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 1991 Ranger is a traditional EFI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 16.30 gallons.

The 1991 Ranger gets 24 miles/gallon on the highway and only 21 in the city. This is exceptional for a standard cab pickup truck.

We Think...

The 1991 model year was telling year for the Ford Ranger. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the S version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
