Miles Overview
The 2001 Ranger is Ford's compact pickup, a simple workhorse that competes with the Chevy S-10 and Toyota Tacoma. It's easy to drive and park, though the smaller engines feel underpowered on the highway, so a manual helps on steep grades. The extended cab adds handy space behind the seats, and the bed is big enough for hauling gear without being hard to park. Four-wheel drive and the optional 4.0L V6 set the 2001 Ranger XL apart from the base rear-drive model, making it the budget-friendly choice for buyers who need traction off pavement. The 4.0L V6 makes 205 horsepower and 238 lb-ft of torque, routed through a five-speed automatic to all four wheels, which gives it real pulling power for a compact truck but returns 16 mpg combined. This XL trades the XLT's carpet and cloth seats for vinyl flooring and manual windows, which makes it easier to hose out after a muddy job site.
