Ford Ranger Engine Specs: The Ranger XL comes outfitted with a 4.0 liter, 6-cylinder motor that uses 12 valves. The engine, manufactured by Ford, is teamed up with a Toyo Kogyo (Mazda) 5-speed transmission. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Ford.

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.

Ranger XL Statistics

The dimensions of the Ranger XL are 69.40 inches wide by 198.10 inches long. It sits a comfortable 67.60 inches off the ground. It seats a standard three passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 125.40 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.

There is a 50,000* mile, 60* month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 50,000*/36* miles/months. This is normal for this price range.

The listed retail price in 1995 (MSRP) was $19,571, with an invoice cost of an industry-high price. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a two-door Standard Cab Pickup.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 1995 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 20.50 gallons.

The Ranger XL received a miles-per-gallon rating of 17 - 18 in-city driving and 23 - 24 when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green truck, this was subpar.

In Summary

There are several reasons why the Ford Ranger XL sold well in 1995. Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Ford, specifically a Ranger.
