The restyled Ranger S is equipped with a Ford 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 12 valves. The Vulcan engine is paired with a Ford 4-speed transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design 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.

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 $10,920 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Standard Cab Pickup.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 1991 Ranger is a MPI 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.

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...

There are several reasons why the Ford Ranger S sold well in 1991. 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.
