2011 Ford Ranger Truck

Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

Said to be a match of Ford's heritage, efficiency and affordability, the 2011 Ford Ranger compact truck comes in a rather shallow range of three trim levels consisting of the XL, XLT and the Sport. Discontinuing the longer bed version as well as the FX4 trim heading into this year, a rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive option is available with the 2011 Ranger along with three cab configurations. Powered by a standard 2.3 liter inline-4 engine on the XL and XLT, this 143 horsepower engine promotes class-topping fuel mileage of 22 miles city or 27 miles highway. A higher-powered 207 horsepower 4-liter V-6 engine is optional on the 2011 Ford Ranger XLT and standard on the Sport trim. Standard equipment on all 2011 Rangers includes AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, gas-charged shock absorbers and an underbody slid plate. 2011 is the final year for this current Ford Ranger.

Safety Ratings What do the Safety Ratings mean? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) performs independent crash testing of new vehicles and then assigns them a score based on their performance. The overall crash test rating is based on how a vehicle performs in the following tests: Driver Crash Grade: Measures the chance of a serious injury to a crash test dummy that is placed in a driver's seat and driven into a fixed barrier at 35 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less chance of injury. Passenger Crash Grade: Similar to the driver crash grade, only now the focus is on the passenger. Rollover Resistance: Simulates an emergency lane change to measure the likelihood of a vehicle rolling over. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less risk of rollover. Side Impact Crash Test - Front: Focuses on the front side of a vehicle. It simulates crashes that can occur in intersections by striking a 3,015-pound weight against the side of a vehicle at 38.5 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 5 percent or less chance of injury. Side Impact Crash Test - Rear: Similar to the front side impact test only now the focus is on the rear passenger.
