REVIEWS AND ROAD TESTS
Clinging to the No. 1 position
The bestselling pickup on the Canadian market has been rejuvenated last year and now it has a new Edge trim as well. A 4.0-liter V6 powers this model in four-wheel drive versions and ABS brakes are available on all models, at no extra cost.With four doors (extended cab), the inside of this pickup is more inviting. The Ranger’s dashboard houses nice-looking instrumentation that’s easy to read and the passenger-side air bag can be deactivated using the ignition key, an invaluable feature when the seat is occupied by a back-to- front baby seat.Depending on the model choice, the Ranger comes in three body versions: a short bed Flareside, a short bed and a long bed. Unfortunately, none of the three can accommodate a full-sized sheet of plywood. When it comes to power, the 3.0- and 4.0-liter V6 are better than the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder. The manual transmission is imprecise and balky, but the five-speed (yes, five!) automatic runs efficiently and smoothly. The four-wheel drive system is a real wonder and is virtually indispensable in winter.
