Upshifts can be made by shifting to 2 Second or to Overdrive. Selecting 1 Low at higher speeds causes the transmission to shift to a lower gear, and will shift to 1 Low after vehicle decelerates to the proper speed. Hold the brake pedal down while in this gear. Overdrive The normal driving position for the best fuel economy. Transmission operates in gears one through five. Overdrive can be deactivated by pressing the transmission control switch on the end of the gearshift Page Driving 2 Second Use 2 Second to start-up on slippery roads or to provide additional engine braking on downgrades.
Transmission operates in third gear. Page 5. Release the clutch slowly while pressing gradually down on the accelerator pedal. Do not use the clutch to hold your vehicle at a standstill while waiting on a hill. These actions may reduce clutch life.

Driving off-road with 4WD Your vehicle is specially equipped for driving on sand, snow, mud and rough terrain and has operating characteristics that are somewhat different from conventional vehicles, both on and off the road.
Maintain steering wheel control at all times, especially in rough terrain. Page Driving Sand When driving over sand, try to keep all four wheels on the most solid area of the trail. Do not reduce the tire pressures but shift to a lower gear and drive steadily through the terrain. Apply the accelerator slowly and avoid spinning the wheels.
Page Driving When speed control is on and you are driving uphill, your vehicle speed may drop considerably, especially if you are carrying a heavy load. Resume speed with accelerator pedal. Traction or brake capability may be limited and if the ignition system gets wet, your engine may stall. If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable, proceed very slowly.

The design and general layout of the interior focused on potential buyers who wanted more than just a work truck. Plenty of space with enough legroom and headroom, comfortable seats and various other details were some requirements it had to meet.
Ranger was available only as a two-door version, with an extended cab coming as an option. Cargo bed, although smaller than those of full-size competitors, could still carry a four-foot wide sheet of material, which is an unofficial industry standard for measuring trunk space. During its lengthy production run, Ranger offered several engine choices in many variants.
There was a four-cylinder Pinto engine, which came with carburetors or fuel-injection. More powerful models used a famous Cologne V6 engine, available in several sizes and power outputs. During the last two years, all-new Vulcan V6 became a standard. There was also a diesel option, first in the form of the Mazda-sourced engine and the latter as a more powerful unit from Mitsubishi.
Transmission options included four-speed manuals and three-speed auto, with the five-speed manual and four-speed variants coming in later years. Because of strong competition and conservative appearance, initial sales of the new Ranger were slow. As time went by, with additional trim levels and hidden virtues becoming a well known fact, and sales picked up.
Towards the end of the decade, the Ranger became the best selling compact pickup truck in the US. Following the success of the previous generation, the new Ranger used the same basic recipe. With most of the chassis and mechanical underpinnings carried over from the old truck, the focus was on the outer design.
Box-like shapes were a thing of the past, as the new car featured sleek and rounded body lines, with individual design elements that distinguish it from larger Ford models. Special addition to the lineup was Ranger Splash, which featured retro-styled step-side bed, chromed wheels and other visual improvements.
There was more space inside the cab, mostly because of a wider cab, which again came in a pair of two-door variants. Other than redesigned seats and some minor upgrades, the interior saw limited modifications. There was a focus on safety, with updates including anti-lock brakes, side impact guard beams and airbags for both driver and passenger.
There were no significant changes under the skin, as the engine range comprised familiar units. Besides a four-cylinder Pinto and Cologne V6, there was also a newly developed Vulcan V6 engine that offered improved performance and fuel economy. Being more of a sport truck than a work-horse, this generation had no diesel option. Besides the five-speed manual and four-speed automatic transmission options, this generation was the first to offer a five-speed automatic. Just like in the previous generation, the rear-wheel drive configuration was standard, with an all-wheel drive as an option.
In its third iteration, the Ranger received only a mild visual update, with outer design being similar to the old version. Notable modifications were lower the hood line, redesigned fenders, and grille similar to the F of that time.
The biggest change was the Super Cab variant, which was the first truck in this segment to use rear-hinged doors. Just like with body design, the interior was very similar to that of the previous generation. Unlike conservative exterior and interior updates, the chassis and drivetrain in general received major improvements. At the front, a double wishbone suspension replaced the long-running Twin I-Beam setup. Coupled with rack-and-pinion steering instead of recirculating-ball assembly, this improved both handling and ride comfort.
There was a significant frame redesign, as box sections replaced C-channel construction for increased structural rigidity.
