Still, they'll probably be mad at you for making them sit in the uncomfortable fold-down jump seats. Trim choices for the year include the base level SX and the SE, which gets you air conditioning and a CD player. The Ford Ranger, on the other hand, offers a dizzying array of things you can add to your truck. Its replacement is the Dual Sport trim, which features 15-inch wheels and monochromatic front and rear bumpers, fender flares, front grille and lower front fascia. It also weighs less, and is a good option for those who don't need 4WD capabilities.
All trim levels get four-wheel ABS standard.
The interior is as functional and plain as ever, although the seats are sportier with more bolstering, and spiffier cloth covers them and the door panels. The radio is easy to use, but the controls exhibited a cheap-feeling click when activated. Fit and finish is good, but seat comfort was a contentious issue, especially in the manual version with the bench seats that we drove. Not only is there no lumbar support to speak of, there's still no height adjuster. Only a few reasons exist between choosing a Ranger or a B-Series.
