Ford Ranger Accessories.

The Ford Ranger debuted for the 1983 model year as the American automaker's newest light pickup. Many considered it to be almost a "mini" F-Series model, due to the Ranger's similar Image by CC-BY-CarImages via Flickrstyling and architecture. It was initially outfitted with a 2.0L OHC four-cylinder engine, but a similar 2.3L configuration that kicked out 86 horsepower was also available. Other engine options included a 2.2L diesel and a more powerful 2.8L Cologne V6 capable of 115 horsepower. A few years later, a 2.9L V6 replaced the original and brought with it an extra 25 hp. A year later, Ford introduced the SuperCab, which was 17 inches longer. The SuperCab showed off more room inside the cab as well as optional jump seats. Also in 1986, the Ranger GT rolled off the line. The GT was equipped with the Cologne V6 married to a five-speed manual transmission or A4LD automatic transmission. Other amenities such as bucket seats, sway bars, and aluminum Image via Wikipediawheels rounded out the GT package. In 1989, the second-generation Ford Ranger premiered, featuring a notable redesign that displayed new fenders, headlights, and revised front-end, with a new grille and hood. A new 4.0L V6 took over as the strongest engine, but eventually, a heftier 3.0L Vulcan V6 was brought in, demonstrating an extra kick in horsepower. Ford Ranger Accessories

1993 ushered in another set of changes for the Ford Ranger. The exterior was modified to display a more aerodynamic body with new fender flares. Inside, new seats were introduced. As for engine options, a 2.3L inline four-cylinder, 3.0L V6, and a 4.0L V6 were offered. Making its way into the lineup in 1993 was the "Splash", a version of the Ranger that displayed a sportier presence thanks to aluminum wheels and a lowered suspension. In 1995, the Ford Ranger saw another redesign. A driver's side airbag (passenger air bags became optional a year later) and a new dash-panel were implemented. Four-wheel antilock brakes were now included standard on 4x4 Rangers. Towards the end of the '90s, the Ranger was redesigned once again. Considered the third generation of the truck, the Ford Ranger saw changes to every major department. A new 2.5L SOHC inline four-cylinder engine became standard, but it would only last until 2001, when a 2.3L Duratec inline four-cylinder took over. Also in 2001, a car grills, hood, air filter, headlights, and bumper were employed for the front while the taillights were refreshed in the back. Throughout the next few years, other restyling efforts would make their way to the Ranger, including an updated grille and new turn signals.
