The 2003 Ford Ranger, part of the second generation, is a versatile compact pickup truck. It is available in various configurations, including two body styles (regular cab and extended cab), three bed lengths, and three trims (XL, XLT, and Edge). It contains a 2.3L four-cylinder engine with 143 hp, although there are options for a 3 liter V6 engine with 154 hp or a 4-liter V6 engine with 207 horsepower. The transmission options include a five-speed automatic or a five-speed manual. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with four-wheel drive being optional. While its safety features are rather basic, it does come with anti-lock brakes. Additionally, it provides a decent infotainment system for its time, although it lacks modern conveniences such as Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
