2004 ford ranger review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. America's most popular compact pickup. introductionford ranger has been america’s best-selling compact pickup for 16 years running. Nearly a third of all compact pickups sold are rangers and more than 5 million rangers have been built since the first one rolled out in 1982. for 2004, ranger features a sporty new interior, revised exterior styling and a new pioneer audio system. Edge, tremor, and fx4 models are available. Regular cab and supercab models are available in styleside and flareside versions. A long-wheelbase option is available on regular cab styleside models. The optional 3. 0-liter v6 is a traditional overhead-valve engine rated 154 hp and 180 pounds-feet of torque. This engine is standard on all 4x2 supercab models equipped with a five-speed automatic transmission. Xlt models with 4wd get step bars and fog lights, and upgrade from 15-inch steel wheels to 16-inch aluminum rims, wearing p245/75r16 outline-white letter (owl) tires. A bright appearance package 495), offered only on xlt supercabs with the styleside bed, adds chrome step bars, exhaust tips and bedrails with platinum-colored end caps. An xlt supercab 4x4 retails for $23,050. ranger's top trim level is called edge, and sports monochromatic color schemes that include a vivid chrome yellow. 2004 edge models feature improved shock tuning and larger wheels and tires. Edge comes in 4x2 and 4x4 editions, but either way it rides at the 4x4 height. A raised power dome hood and mesh-pattern front grille contribute to its hip attitude. The edge comes with either a 6-disc in-dash cd player or an mp3 player, depending on the model. Edge prices start at $15,850 with the 3. 0-liter v6 as standard equipment. the tremor package boasts an upgraded pioneer sound system producing 510 watts, and a custom-designed subwoofer enclosure that fits in the rear floor area. A high-output alternator keeps the current flowing and white-faced gauges add interior style. Tremor is distinguished by 16-inch wheels, p235/70r16 all-season tires, a 4x4 ride height, and special color schemes. 2004 tremor models benefit from improved shock tuning and larger wheels and tires. the fx4 package is for serious off-roading. The fx4/level ii package gets bilstein shocks retuned for 2004 for improved handling on and off road. The package includes a torsen limited-slip axle, eight-hole alcoa forged aluminum wheels and 31x10. 5-inch b. Goodrich all-terrain t/a tires. It comes with stainless steel front tow hooks, black wheel lip moldings, and skid plates that cover the front suspension and differential, transfer case, and fuel tank. Two-tone, thick bolstered bucket seats and ebony interior trim lend a distinctive look, while deep-groove floor mats help protect the carpeting from slush and mud. walkaroundminor styling revisions for 2004 freshen the looks of the 2004 ford ranger a bit. The raised power dome hood is standard on all trim levels and there are subtle changes to the front end. An optional bed extender 195) flips out and rests on the tailgate, a u-shaped cage of tubular stainless steel. The notch accentuates a rounded rear fender. Indentations in the bed support partitions to segment cargo. the edge features a monochromatic treatment. Also available are optional cloth sport bucket seats 200) and leather-trimmed bucket seats 365). Also from pioneer, tremor delivers 510 watts through a new in-dash cd/mp3 player, available on 2wd and 4wd models. instrumentation and interior trim were upgraded for 2003. A tachometer is supplied at all trim levels. The center pod for climate and audio systems uses large, easy-to-use rotary dials. regular cab models get a cloth bench seat that can squeeze three aboard. The seat splits 60/40 for access to the space behind it. supercabs offer a larger interior storage bay behind the front seat, with a 6-foot (71. 8 inch) bed behind that. Two small side-facing jump seats may be added to the supercab's rear bay; each folds down from the back wall. Two optional rear-hinged doors (standard on edge 4x4's) allow easy access to the supercab's rear quarters. edge adds a textured rubber floor cover for wash-and-wear convenience. A 60/40 split bench is standard, but bucket seats with black twill bolters are optional. The fabric in the edge seemed tough. driving impressionfor 2004, the ford ranger gets improved bushings, springs, shocks, and tires, all designed to improve the ride quality. The brakes were improved for 2003. the ranger leaps off the line and runs quickly to speed when equipped with the overhead-cam 4. 0-liter v6 built by ford in germany. This provides closer ratios for better throttle response when accelerating, towing a trailer or driving off-road. It could scamper up mountain grades or effortlessly pass a line of heavy freight haulers. the ranger handles bumps and curves with confident dexterity. A high ground clearance enables the ranger 4x4 to clear ruts and bumps easily. Watch for cash rebates and other incentives. the high-level models deliver strong performance on and off road.
