'05 Ford Ranger

The 2005 Ford Ranger is relatively unchanged from the previous year’s version. It still comes in the traditional regular and supercab body styles. The supercab models have optional rear fold-down jump seats. Supercabs also have optional rear-hinged back doors.

Regular cabs have either a 6 foot or a 7 foot bed. Supercabs come standard with the 6 foot bed. Engine come in a 2.3 liter 4 cylinder, 3.0 liter 6 cylinder, or a 4.0 liter 6 cylinder. All models are equipped with either a manual or 5-speed automatic transmission. 4 wheel drive is also an optional feature, otherwise the Ranger is front wheel drive.

Other than the optional leather interior, the 2005 Ford Ranger is a very basic truck with few options.

The 2005 Ranger is a light duty option for those who just need a small bed to haul small items and are not recommended for heavy hauling or towing.

BANG (AND LOTS OF IT) FOR THE BUCK

There's nothing complicated about the 2005 Ford Ranger -- just a lot of truck for not a lot of money. That year's model saw a complete shocks-to-springs overhaul, making it an even greater value. (The Ranger XL star, for example, came in under $15 thousand with a full 2.3-liter engine, five-speed manual transmission, 2WD Regular Cab, 15-inch steel wheels.)
No wonder so many off-road types still check out the 2005 Ford Ranger. You can too, with all the automotive scoop you can shake a shift-stick at, from photos and specs to reviews and price info. There's even some financing scoop, for the wallet-conscious crowd that made this monster so popular in the first place.
