Performance
The Ranger's standard engine is a 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-four with 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. The engine couples with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive is standard for your treks across Logansport.
The Ford truck has a standard Trailer Sway Control system, which uses the truck's stability control and anti-lock brakes to detect and counter any fishtailing or other odd behavior from a trailer. The available Ford Trail Control can help you maintain a set speed while crawling over difficult terrain. Its optional Terrain Management System allows you to vary the powertrain's response to various driving conditions you'll encounter around Greentown.
When driving the truck on rough terrain, you can use the standard Electronic-Shift-on-the-Fly feature to shift from two-wheel to four-wheel drive without stopping. You can minimize your new Ranger's emissions with the standard auto stop-start feature, which automatically shuts off and restarts the engine when you come to a stop.
The ambitious Ranger can tow up to 7,500 pounds around North Manchester when properly equipped. The pickup has a tow mode that helps optimize the transmission for better performance when it's hauling or towing heavy loads.
The Ford Ranger has a maximum water-fording ability of 2.6 feet, and it comes with standard four-wheel anti-lock brakes, which allow you to stop when driving on slippery terrain. Its suspension system appears fully boxed and has a stabilizer bar to prevent body roll when taking sharp turns. You can enjoy a smooth ride when driving your truck off-road since the standard gas-pressurized absorbers help dampen any bumps and rocks you encounter.
