Summary
With the Ranger not due for a complete redesign until 1997, this newly airbagged Ranger with its spiffed-up interior will have a tougher time this year competing against the all-new GM compacts and the larger Dodge Dakota. Still, Ranger XLT is a great all-around value with lots of extras and very good quality. It’s well-suited to the trucking needs of a great many car-oriented families.
