It's been around for a long time - fourteen years - but
this year marks some important new developments in the line
up for the 2002 Ford Ranger Pickup Truck. More power and
improved handling make this tough customer difficult to
compete with, and distinctive design lends to an attractive
curbside appeal.
Available Models
Four sturdy models hit the road this year - the
2002 Ford Ranger XL, Ranger Edge, 2002 Ford Ranger XLT,
and the all-new FX4 premium off-road package. No need to
look any further than this impressive line up to meet your
every demand in a pickup. With a full range of luxury, performance,
and safety features covering a wide range of specifications,
you'll find the vehicle that's perfect for you.
Interior Features
Inside the spanking-new 2002 Ford Ranger FX4
are special 4x4 mats, special sport bucket seats and upholstery,
driver and passenger side grab handles, an eye-catching
interior trim, and two available interior colors. Among
the amenities are power windows, power door locks, an AM/FM
stereo with dual media stereo, speed control, and tilt steering
wheel wrapped in genuine leather for sporty good looks.
The 2002 Ford Ranger Edge boasts air conditioning, a four-speaker
AM/FM stereo with CD player, and a heavy-duty interior with
maslite floor that enables you to clean up mud and dirt
effortlessly.
Exterior Features
From the outside, the FX4 wears a heavy-duty
skid plate, stainless steel tow hooks in the front and one
black tow hook in the rear, and gorgeous forged aluminum
wheels with exposed stainless lug nuts. The Styleside box
comes in four colors with black exterior trim. This vehicle
is equipped with dual power outside mirrors and a sliding
rear window.
Meanwhile, the Edge sports a monochromatic exterior in
bold color choices, and features tow hooks on the 4WD models,
along with fog lamps and an attractive mesh grille. Thick
bed rail covers and a raised power dome hood put the emphasis
on the sheer power of these vehicles.
Performance
A refined 2.3-litre inline four-cylinder engine
is standard, with an optional 4.0-litre, SOHC V6 that pumps
out 207 horsepower offered up. The standard transmission
is a heavy-duty five-speed manual in all three Ranger trucks,
with a five-speed automatic transmission with adaptive shift
strategy is also available.
The suspension has undergone a number of improvements and
updates, leading to a marked reduction in noise, vibration,
and harshness of bumps in the road.
Safety and Security
The 2002 Ford Ranger is equipped with anti-lock
brakes, large rotors, and rear drum brakes combined with
electronic brake force distribution for maximized control
and rapid braking. Passengers are protected by a driver
depowered air bag, passenger depowered air bag, three-point
seatbelts, and head restraints.
