The 2007 Ford Ranger belongs to the compact pickup's third generation, which was in production from 1998 to 2012. The truck was offered in three trims: XL, XLT, and the sporty FX4. Under the hood, the Ranger had two engine options: a 2.3-liter 4-cylinder with 143 horsepower and a 4.0-liter V6 delivering 207 horsepower. Transmission choices included a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed automatic, with both rear-wheel and four-wheel drivetrains available. The Ranger was equipped with antilock brakes as a standard safety feature. Notably, the 2007 model was the last to offer FX4 Level II edition, an off-road oriented version which boasted a Torsen limited-slip differential, Bilstein shocks, and 15-inch Alcoa wheels.
