The Ford Ranger Engine is a mechanical mainstay in the huge field of mid-size pickup trucks that travel across America's diverse terrain, from the sun-drenched roads of the Southwest to the gravel trails of the Midwest. It is a living example of decades of engineering integrity and a representation of American tenacity, not just a piece of propulsion. Few engines in the entire family of mid-size workhorses have the legendary heritage, unwavering endurance, and complex personality that the Ranger's powerplant offers.
