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

Great Little Truck - 2007 Ford Ranger
By PAS - October 20 - 12:34 amThe greatest thing about the Ranger is it just flat out works. Yes there are other newer trucks out there, but for the money it is hard to get any better than the Ranger. I have had no problems with it.

Daily Driver - 2007 Ford Ranger
By Eric - August 4 - 1:30 pmIve owned 2 Rangers do far and loved both. Bought my 07 with 250 miles on it, and have put 38,000 miles on it with out a single issue. I would buy another Ranger at the drop of a hat. My Ranger gets 22 miles per gallon, only after some aftermarket parts, but I love it!

Back on Top Again - 2007 Ford Ranger
By Ford Family Man - August 4 - 8:36 amI bought this truck used. I had a 1991 Ranger that was pretty worn out and would finally start needing some repairs so I bought this one. Previously a fleet vehicle I was impressed with all that I got for 11,500 dollars. XL truck, but with 5 speed auto, and 4.10 axle ratio, extras were A/C (necessary in Ohio) and an under-rail bed liner. It had a little over 18000 miles on it. I work in a scrap yard and needed a solid truck. Thats just what I got with fuel economy averaging 23-28mpg combined city/highway. Drives like a bigger truck and so quick too especially for a four cyl. engine. Much stronger than my 1991s 2.3liter. No serious rattles, and white so scratches are not an issue.

Go Ford or go home - 2007 Ford Ranger
By my_07_ranger - June 16 - 5:29 pmI have the 2.3l 5spd standard and I love driving it. It has good take off for a 4 cylinder truck. I have 21,000 miles on it and the only time it see the shop is for its regular oil changes. I get well over 34 miles to the gallon. Overall I like this truck and to think I was going to buy a Cavalier

Fun - 2007 Ford Ranger
By Matt - June 11 - 11:00 pmIll be completely honest here! I have a bare bones 2007 ford Ranger no AC, no CD, no tilt, no power anything, and 5 speed. I love it! I commuted about 50-60 km a day each way so roughly 100- 120 a day km and I still only fuel up about every 5-6 days! Im not talking babying it down the road, Im talking about putting my foot down and opening it up.I do my regular oil changes and tire rotation and one year and about 25,000 kms later is has yet to fail me! Again Ill be honest, you want power and size in a small truck? Get a Dakota. If you want reliablity and wicked MPG definitely get a Ranger.

Fourth Ranger Ive owned - 2007 Ford Ranger
By George Ryan - May 15 - 2:21 pmI have owned several Rangers and this is by far my favorite. It is an XLT w/foglamps. The four cylinder performed just fine on a trip to Corpus Christi. Averaged 25 mpg for the trip. Around town I always see 19-20 mpg.

Small truck - 2007 Ford Ranger
By Choose 5 - May 14 - 8:26 pmPeppy 4 cylinder, suspension stiff which is OK by me, great gas mileage (avg 28, 30+ highway), drive a lot of dirt roads and no rattles after 10k. Old design, but smallness helps with gas mileage. Seats are great but Im 58". Ride height good. Ill keep it until I die (am 56). Im a Ford family.

Pretty good, needs work - 2007 Ford Ranger
By VulcanVxx - May 8 - 12:47 amThis was my father and Is first pickup truck and overall we are pretty satisfied. Its a decent size, good off-road cap, good quality, reliable, good-looking, and fun to drive. The only thing i have a problem with is the gas mileage. During the winter i averaged about 13.7 City and 18.5 highway and during the summer about 15.7 city and 20.3 highway. This could be better.

2nd Time not as good as the first! - 2007 Ford Ranger
By 8point - March 19 - 8:22 amThis is my 2nd Ranger, 1st was a 95 4.0 STX. I like the extra room in the super cab and overall styling, but not the performance. 18 mpg highway (and I drive easy) and no low end hp or torque. My 95 was 10 times better in low gear off road and got 23+mpg to boot. I dont feel the extra hp (47) from the new engine and gas mileage flat out stinks for a V6 of this size. Ive got friends with big diesels that get almost the same mileage with twice the performance! As stated by Edmunds, the trucks strong point is off-road, so why give it an engine that produces its power above 3,500 rpm?! Have had no mechanical/service issues with the truck in the first year of ownership.

Great Truck! - 2007 Ford Ranger
By cabuco2006 - February 25 - 10:01 amI love the way this truck rides and handles. It can take a beating and the 4x4 is something you need, especially in New England winters. Ive gotten as high as 25.6 mpg in the summer. Its preety good on gas for a 4.0 v-6 compared to other competitors 4.0s. I reccomend this truck for some one that want a truck that can get low to moderate jobs done.
