2001 ford ranger edge review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Fresh styling, more power fire up ford's popular compact pickup. introductionone in three compact-class pickups sold last year was a ford ranger. More than 5 million rangers have been built since the first one rolled out in 1982. Ranger's new edge edition cast in monochrome begins at $14,435 with the 3. 0-liter v6 in a regular cab styleside design with two-wheel-drive. As a result, the ranger wears smooth new sheetmetal forms with a definitive new face in front and wheel blisters on flanks. ranger's strong face sparkles from new multi-beam reflector lamps flanking a large honeycomb grille underlined by a thick bumper with round fog lamps and central air intake port. sides show rolled shoulders and flat panels interrupted by etched horizontal character lines and the ripples of flares articulating front and rear wheelwells. The styleside design remains flat in continuous line stretching from tip to tail, but the flareside version carves a recessed step into each side panel immediately behind the cab and the notch accentuates a rounded rear fender. With the supercab extension, a tall and narrow side window mounts in the panel behind each door's window. Indentations in the bed support partitions to segment cargo. the new edge trim designation focuses on a monochromatic treatment with body-colored bumpers and hood raised in the power dome bump that hints at a powerhouse beneath the lid. Also, an optional new hard tonneau lid unfolds from front/rear sections divided by a central vertical partition, with a lock added on the forward bin for security. interiorthe ranger's cab has been revised for 2001 and more features have been added. The most noteworthy improvement -- a new quality of quietness -- cannot be seen because the additional baffles and insulation that surround the passenger compartment are concealed in the structure. Previous versions of ranger consistently set the standard among compact trucks for spacious, comfortable accommodations and convenient features. 2001 models build on that foundation with new seat designs clad in new fabrics, a revised instrument panel with tachometer supplied to all trims, and a revamped center pod for climate and audio systems with large easy-to-use rotary dials. the regular cab carries a bench seat that can squeeze three aboard. Two small side-facing jump seats may be added to the bay; each folds down from the back wall. Optional left and right rear-hinged doors for the supercab create easy access to rear quarters. ranger's new edge treatment, designed for active lifestyles, adds a textured rubber floor cover for wash-and-wear convenience. The bench splits 60/40, with side bolsters for outboard positions and a center armrest that folds down and contains a pop-top storage bin. This new option quickens acceleration performance and strengthens the ranger's trailer-towing ability. An increase of 47 horsepower over last year's most powerful ranger. This produces closer gear ratios for better throttle response when accelerating, towing a trailer or driving off road. A high-gear lockout switch on the tip of the shift lever enables a driver to kick up or down a gear with the tap of a finger. we drove a ranger supercab 4x4 with the 4. 0-liter v6 and optional five-speed automatic through nevada deserts on pavement and dirt. Offering the best power in its class, the ranger delivered no-fear passing, even in nevada's thin-air altitude. It could scamper up mountain grades or effortlessly pass a line of freight haulers. the ranger handled road bumps and curve sets with confident dexterity. A high ground clearance enables the ranger to clear ruts and bumps easily. And when it doesn't, skid plates shield the transfer case and fuel tank from damage.
