2001 Ford Ranger

The vehicle in the middle of a routine part of model face lifts in a lifetime. You know, the first showroom is returning to the company after the newness is over, and making some changes. Maybe they put a new RIM, a body-color grille inserts, and an internal treatment in slap - invariant mechanical architecture much of anything.

We saw many of them, but Ford Ranger 2001 reaffirmed most of its kind, the triple exercises. The most remarkable thing is replaced with the name of Splash and Edge scrapping wimpy. No, not the edge, still playing with Bono. Just Edge, Ford Ranger edge. I understand? Well. In this model, a power range marked on the hood - already optional 4.0-liter DOHC V-6 engine has been prepared for 2001 (last year's 4.0-liter V-6 uses a push-rod) - black Honeycomb with combined. Grille and body-color front bumper with push pad and driving lamps.

The result is a new face for annoying young truck buyers, as well as male midlife crisis in a way that expects a more youthful image we thought truckers puzzled. The Rangers Edge the riding height, regardless of the number of wheels that can actually be driven on the same 4x4 configuration, and it has molded bed rail Edge at the same time; Easily cleaned (as written here) the inner part of the vinyl floor; 60-watt, four-speaker stereo system with CD player; And 15-inch wheels and 235 / 75R-15 tires. Also, don't forget to pre-five-speed manual gearbox with the familiar 3.0-liter V-6 push-engine comes as standard equipment.

Rangers Edge slots, 2.5-liter four-four in a row on the base model XL with the standard cut and reinforced high-level XLT series among. This 2.5-liter four covered-based engine in the winter, that will replace in the future the new four-cylinder engine currently in the development stage and will be replaced with a Ford in-line engines are derived from. Oh, yes, four at the same time, the XLT two-wheel drive is standard equipment on regular cab models.

Usually customers buying basic models and then add accessories in the compact truck market, you can mix and match a bit. Thus, the Ranger, in two wheelbase options and stylesi (normal) or flaresi (sports) with two or four wheel drive with the option of regular or Superjob bed load (two-Row Seats) will be sold as a model. Do you have them? There's more.

3.0-liter V-6, four-wheel drive, Superjob and edge in the model is moved, and is the standard. With 150 horsepower and 185 pound feet of torque at 3750 rpm at 5000 rpm. A new optional 4.0-liter DOHC V-6, the smaller V-6 and only has 57 horsepower at 3000 rpm on 238 pounds-feet of climbs.

So far so good, but all style and variations in equipment, which is being offered in addition to a rigorous treatment of the underlying hardware improved, there was progression to be in search of. V-6 models with the power on, recalibrated the motor to reduce vibrations and noise body to cut out there is an insulation blanket under the hood new.

For the same purpose, at the bottom of the panel and the floor panel insulation panel laminated with an additional were presented to a panel. Expandable foam sealing element, and have benefited from the cabin, and especially pay attention to the spacing between the cabin and the engine compartment. Door, window, and mirror seals are all new.

Advanced five-stage adaptive shift transmission also contributes to reduce the noise inside the cabin. Tranny electronic controls makes changing settings and accordingly learns from the input driver gear. Thus, when the vehicle is driven slowly, the engine system by reducing the speed, early gear changes.

Naturally, the opposite is also true and the gearbox will shift hard and fast when instructed by a foot to the right in a way. As a result, shift shock during high speed driving of the level was a little High we thought, but a Ford engineer the system "more" have learned as we're sure you'd be fine. What could she say else?

There are security enhancements in 2001 Ranger. Larger front rotors, two-wheel-drive model helps with the suspension, and four-wheel ABS, electronic brake force distribution, by acting in conjunction with the pressure balanced between front and rear wheels provides a dynamic, now is standard equipment.

Into the gap for a hug in a collision with safety belt pre-tensioners and global soft edge is available, which was given the name of the web material to spread more evenly to reduce belt forces of the new bundles has been adopted. Beltminder called Ford audio system, The New Ranger, too. If you're mixing, gentle tone sounds and a red warning lamp illuminates.

Vehicle safety was not overlooked in the makeup of, and all the Rangers, SecuriLock immobilizer which has a transponder in the ignition key A was given. We're not sure what we're supposed to tell you this, but apparently the tremor, which is present, and optionally named - 560 watt sound system and a sound system that can handle up to 20 Hz.
