Ford Ranger is Europe’s Safest Pickup

The latest version of
Ford Ranger has cemented its position as the Europe’s safest pickup. It did that by passing Euro NCAP’s toughest-ever safety assessment. There has been introduced a new scoring system for 2012 and the pickup achieved the maximum possible five-star rating! This means that the vehicle remains the only one which got the whole five stars rating. In addition, the best-selling Ford Focus also got its five stars after being reassessed. The 2012 Euro NCAP ratings are the safety barometer. Obviously, safety is a core value for Ford Motor Company Ranger and Focus proves this philosophy, by meeting the highest standards demanded by Euro NCAP. Ranger has unique features designed to improve pedestrian protection performance including an under-bonnet structure which reduces the potential for pedestrian head injuries. The front bumper incorporates energy-absorbing materials designed to further enhance safety.  The new Ford Ranger is the only vehicle in its class, which has achieved the highest possible rating.

Ford Ranger History

You're looking at the definition of tenacity: years after many folks in the auto industry predicted its demise, the Ford Ranger soldiered on in the company's truck lineup, the junior partner to Ford's massively popular F-150 lineup. It's finally gone--maybe--but not without a fight.
The Ranger is a two- or four-door pickup truck, with compact-truck capability. It can seat five, but it's not a conventional four-door like the Nissan Frontier or Toyota Tacoma or Dodge Dakota. Its rear doors are more like access panels, hinged at the rear, quite small, and allow access to a small cargo area behind the front seats--or to a pair of small emergency jump seats.
The Ranger dates back a long way in the Ford archives. The nameplate was affixed to some Ford F-Series pickup trucks in the 1960s, but in 1983 it was split off and applied to a new compact truck with a six-foot-and-smaller pickup bed. That first-generation Ranger lived off its inexpensive, reliable reputation through a model changeover in 1989, until a new Ranger was introduced in 1993.

The third generation Ranger, sold from 1993-1997, offered a relatively weak four-cylinder engine option, supplanted by either a 3.0-liter V-6 or a 4.0-liter V-6 later in its life. A five-speed manual came on base versions--sometimes called "bug trucks," since exterminators loved the stripped Ranger painted in white--and a four-speed automatic was an option. A five-speed automatic was added later in this generation, as were dual front airbags and four-wheel anti-lock brakes. This Ranger also offered a stylish Splash edition, with a sculpted set of fenders on its bed, and four-wheel drive.
A Mazda B-Series spinoff was sold from 1993 to 2009, and was essentially the same truck as the Ranger, with mainly cosmetic and packaging differences. It was canceled for the 2010 model year.
Ford put much energy into the early years of the fourth-generation Ranger, which remains on sale today. Introduced in 1998, the Ranger added some wheelbase length, saw its four-cylinder and larger six-cylinder engines upgraded to overhead-cam designs, and added flex-fuel capability to the middle-brow, overhead-valve 3.0-liter V-6. This Ranger was typically well-received and earned a reputation for reliability over its lifespan. It also improved on its reputation for a hard ride, thanks to a new independent front suspension. Though it remained, for all passenger purposes, a two-door, the Ranger was spun into popular off-road and city-commuter versions that extended its lifespan much longer than anyone--even Ford--anticipated.

And the one spot on your vehicle that is constantly exposed is… yep, you guessed it – the front-end.

2011 Ford Ranger

We've all heard the fondly spoken cliché about something being "an oldie but a goodie." But sometimes an oldie is, well, just old, with little "good" to recommend it. A prime example would be the 2011 Ford Ranger.
Ford's compact pickup truck has gone more than a decade without a major redesign, which makes this truck positively geriatric when it comes to the automotive world and even dated by truck standards. While there have been updates to this fourth-generation model ? the 2010 Ranger (finally) got electronic stability control and side-impact airbags, for instance -- the Ranger doesn't measure up to the competition in several important areas.
The biggest drawback is the 2011 Ford Ranger's dated design. Because of a comparatively small size and lack of a four-door crew cab model with forward-facing rear seats, the Ranger is hard to recommend to anyone but business owners. Such buyers might appreciate the Ranger's low price and relatively decent fuel economy, but they'll still be disappointed by a lack of features. For example, the Ranger is one of only a handful of Ford vehicles that still lack the company's new technological features like the Sync hands-free system or the contractor-friendly Work Solutions.
While we're waiting for Ford to introduce the next-generation Ranger, we suggest shoppers looking for a compact pickup check out the larger and more refined Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma. Commercial users may also want to consider the new Ford Transit Connect van, which offers better fuel economy than V6-powered Ranger models and significantly better cargo capacity.
You want the very best for your truck when it comes to Ford Ranger Accessories. After all, anything less than superior quality is an injustice. At CARiD.com, there's no reason to worry. Our selection of Ford Ranger accessories and parts comes at you from the finest manufacturers in the world. We're talking the biggest brand-names in all products, including grilles, tonneau covers, floor mats, grille guards, Ford body kits, dash kits, and more.

Ford Ranger 2012

Seldom do Australian engineers and designers get the chance to build a new vehicle for the world market, but that's what happened with Ford's all-new Ranger. Though classified as a compact pickup, the vehicle, which goes on sale from October 1, is a big bugger by local standards, 9/10ths the size of an F150. It's the culmination of four years work by nearly 500 engineers in Australia and around the Ford (and Mazda) world.
Prices start from $19,740 for the petrol 2.5-litre single cab/chassis 4x2 manual and peak at $59,390 for the double cab Wildtrak 3.2 diesel auto. A revelation in the ute world, the Ranger is almost certain to give Ford its long-awaited lift out of the doldrums. The Ranger, destined for more than 180 countries on five continents, will come in three cab styles: double, super and single and in cab chassis and pickup bodies.
