1995–2011 Ford Ranger Engine

Description

The 1995–2011 Ford Ranger offered a versatile range of engines to meet different needs. Starting with the 2.3L inline-4 (Lima) in earlier models and transitioning to the more efficient 2.3L Duratec by 2001, these engines provided solid reliability with horsepower ranging from 98 to 143, ideal for light-duty tasks and better fuel economy. Mid-tier options included the 3.0L V6 Vulcan, a durable engine producing 140–148 horsepower, perfect for those needing more power without compromising reliability. The top-performing engine was the 4.0L V6 Cologne, delivering up to 207 horsepower in later years, designed for towing, off-road adventures, and heavier payloads. This lineup offered something for everyone, from everyday drivers to utility-focused users.
