Miles Overview
The 2008 Ranger is Ford's compact pickup, a simple, no-frills truck that's easy to park and maneuver in tight spots. It drives with a light, nimble feel that makes it fun around town, though the smaller engines can feel a bit underpowered on the highway. The cabin is basic and snug, with comfortable front seats but rear jump seats that are tight for passengers. A six-foot bed gives it real hauling capability, and the simple manual windows and locks mean less to go wrong over the years. The XL is the base Ranger, skipping the Sport and XLT's trim upgrades to keep the price low. Its 2.3L I4 makes 143 horsepower and pairs with a five-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive, which is enough for light hauling but feels strained merging onto the highway. You get a manual transmission as standard with this engine, and the automatic is a rare option that shifts smoothly but saps some of the little power it has.
