1. Performance
The commercial vehicle comes with two and four-wheel-drive versions, plus three diesel variants. The two 2.2s variants produce a power of 123bhp and 148bhp, and the 3.2 variant produces a power of 197bhp. The more powerful 2.2 version can strongly pull in low reverse and can tow trailers weighing more than 3.2 tons.
2. Quality and Safety
Don’t expect a pickup to come with luxurious interiors as they are commercial transport vehicles. The plastic inside the vehicle feels sturdy, and the overall mechanical quality is robust. Every variant of the 2008 Ford Ranger pick-up comes with stability control feature and seven airbags. The vehicle also has an alarm and engine immobilizer. The aluminium tonneau cover that hides the material stored in the truck bed is an optional purchase for the buyer.
3. Ride and Handling
Though the steering is slow around the town, it gets more responsive at a higher speed. The Ranger, however, feels more bouncy on bad surface roads, but it also feels more composed in corners as compared to its competitors. The four-wheel-drive shows more off-road capabilities than the two-wheel version.
4. Space
Individuals looking for a Ford Ranger can either choose from the regular one with two seats, a super cab one with four seats and a double cab model with five seats. There is ample space for five people in the double cab Ranger, and the truck bed is also more spacious. All in all, it is a perfect choice for pickups at public car auctions.
