There's been a lot of talk about the Ford Ranger for 1995. As a leading truck in the standard cab pickup market the Ranger (and in this case specically the Splash version) has maintained a high standard. The 2-door Ranger is especially appealing to broad audience, making it a perfect truck to help Ford as a brand in general.

1995 Ford Ranger Splash Specs

Ford Ranger Engine Specs: The Ranger Splash 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 1995 Ranger's normal fuel system runs on gas. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection (MFI) style of design. The fuel tank holds 20.50 gallons.

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 Splash Statistics

The dimensions of the Ranger Splash 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.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $19,571 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.

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.

Fuel Efficiency

The 1995 Ranger gets 23 - 24 miles/gallon on the highway and only 17 - 18 in the city. This is average for a standard cab pickup truck.

In Summary

The 1995 model year was unsuccessful for the Ford Ranger. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Splash version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
