This Year's Model Updates:

Buyers looking at the 2007 Ford Ranger will find more standard equipment compared to last year's model. All Rangers come with dual-stage front airbags with a front-passenger sensor, a tire-pressure monitoring system and an anti-theft system. For entertainment, all CD players are now MP3-compatible, and all head units except the base AM/FM receiver have an auxiliary input jack. Sirius satellite radio is optional on all but base XL models. The 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine is now standard on two-wheel-drive STX regular cabs and two-door extended cabs, in place of last year's 3.0-liter V6. A 4.10 axle ratio is now available on four-wheel-drive models, while 4x4 Ranger XL models can be equipped with skid plates. Rounding out the changes are two new 16-inch alloy wheel designs and a longer five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Pros:
  • Solid performance from 4.0-liter V6, very capable off-road with either of the FX4 packages.
Cons:
  • Cramped interior, choppy ride, subpar handling and braking, lacks modern-day safety and convenience features.

  • Drive it, youll like it! - 2007 Ford Ranger
    By -

    I got it to save fuel. It gets 24 to 29.5. Most of the time I get over 26.5. Runs out good,rides good and handles great. Only holds 4 quarts of oil. Saves money going and coming.

    Very reliable so far, comfortable, plenty of power for hauling yet easy to park. Decent gas mileage getting 16/22 better than advertised.

  • Beware-Front End problems - 2007 Ford Ranger
    By -

    My new Ranger has been in the shop 13 times in one year - 7 times in the past 2 months-Only has 15,000 km. Problems started first month-serious clunking in the steering in mid-turn & when accelerating from stop.Inner Tie rod ends have been replaced 4 times in 2 monthsc- last ones were Fords new/improved ones, as a result of TS Bulletins and serious problems. Also had intermediate shaft replaced twice and lower steering shaft once. Finally no clunking - only been a week - I am wary. Dealer told me several other owners have the same problem. Ford avoiding a recall? In my mid-40s, owned 28 vehicles all makes...never had such an unreliable piece of metal in the driveway (and I am a Ford fan).

  • Life With Ranger - Part IV - 2007 Ford Ranger
    By -

    Just past the "One Year of Ownership" mark, and alls well. In that time, my Ranger has yet to so much as rattle, and this despite 22K L.A. miles in a single year. As Ive stated in my earlier reviews, by 2007 truck standards, my Ranger borders on "antique." Literally every other truck on the market rides more smoothly, get better gas mileage and provides greater and more cleverly packaged interior spaces. That said however, few offer Rangers total combo of rugged styling, "just right" size and seemingly military- spec durability. For those desiring a classic, comfortable little truck, adeptly able to tackle your basic chores without busting your bank account Rangers still #1.

  • Great Little Truck - 2007 Ford Ranger
    By -

    Its been close to a year now and 10,000 miles, with no problems at all. With the 4.0 and automatic I just got 22mpg on a recent trip, regularly getting 16 around town. Thats not bad for as much power as it has. Handles like a truck, not a car, and thats how a truck should handle.

  • One fun truck - 2007 Ford Ranger
    By -

    I bought the FX4 because of the rugged look. Its a fun truck to drive but gets horrible gas mileage. Then again what do you expect with 31 tires and 4.10 gears.

  • Good Solid Truck - 2007 Ford Ranger
    By -

    I needed a new vehicle for driving to work and back and decided to get a lower cost pickup so I could haul stuff if I needed to. This little truck feels bigger than it is and runs great. I have averaged 29 mpg just driving it around the area and to work and back and have gotten as high as 36 mpg on longer highway/freeway trips. I cant complain about anything in this vehicle.

  • 3rd and Love It - 2007 Ford Ranger
    By -

    Third Ranger and love this truck. FX4 option well woth the price. Great off road and good in town. Interior is perfect for a off road truck.

  • Life with Ranger - Part III - 2007 Ford Ranger
    By -

    Nearly 16,000 miles on my 07 Sport Supercab, and alls well. Even after that many (abusive L.A.) miles in only 7 months, my truck has yet to so much as rattle! Without any exaggeration, it feels as though this truck was assembled for military duty so perfect"is the build quality. Granted its still the most dated appliance in its genre, but certainly that 1,000 years of production history has served to iron out any bugs from the system. For anybody looking for a classic compact truck, without pretense, of just right"size and certainly impeachable build quality - Ranger warrants a solid look.

  • By Far the Best Bargain! - 2007 Ford Ranger
    By -

    I originally picked up this Ranger FX4 Level ll because of price. All the foreign trucks were considerally more expensive. I have a feeling this is an American website, so I hope you can relate. It is completely loaded with leather, power everything, A/C, six-disk changer, a class three trailer hitch, bed liner and something Ford calls "Wear and Tear Package". Essentialy this truck can be returned with up to $3500 damage at the end of the lease for which I can walk away from having to pay. All for $361. a month taxes in for three years. Hell, theyre giving these trucks away. And this truck looks absolutely awesome
