Aftermarket Ford Ranger 1989-1992 Bumper Kits

The Ford Ranger (1989–1992) was a light-duty pickup truck produced by the Ford Motor Company. It was available in regular, extended and crew cab body styles and with several engine choices.

The Ranger was first introduced in 1983 as a smaller version of the Ford F-Series pickup trucks. Initially, it was offered in two trim levels: Standard and Custom. The Ranger later acquired Sport trim packages at higher levels and more powertrain options. For 1989, the Ranger was completely redesigned.

The 1989 Ford Ranger featured a rounded, aerodynamic design with a nearly flush front grille. The wrap-around headlights and rounded taillights gave it a contemporary look. Inside, the cabin featured improved seat quality and an updated dashboard with analog instrumentation.

Under the hood, the Ranger came with two engine choices: a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a 4.0-liter V6 engine. Both engines had electronic fuel injection, but the V6 engine also had roller followers for improved performance. The four-cylinder engine delivered up to 111 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque, while the V6 could deliver up to 145 hp and 205 lb-ft of torque. Both engines were mated to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.

The Ranger was offered in both rear-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations. Rear-wheel drive models had live axles front and rear, while four-wheel drive models had independent front suspension with coil springs and a solid axle rear end. The Ranger also had standard front and rear anti-roll bars.

In addition to the two engine options, the Ranger was available in various trim levels. The base model had vinyl seating surfaces and few creature comforts. The XLT trim added cloth seating surfaces and power windows and locks, while the top-of-the-line Ranger Splash added a chrome grille and chrome trim.

When it came to safety, the Ranger was equipped with dual airbags, 3-point seatbelts, ABS (anti-lock braking system), and optional side-impact airbags.

The Ford Ranger was built from 1989 to 1992 and was one of the most popular pickup trucks of its time. It offered a good combination of power, performance, comfort, and features for a relatively affordable price. It’s no surprise that the Ranger remained a popular choice for many years after its introduction.
