2001 Ford Ranger Edge Supercab 2WD review from North America
"Raw and tough, yet smooth and comfortable: and I can afford it... Lessaiz le Bon Ton Roulez!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a rattle or vibrating noise from under the truck periodically when at idle or accelerating up an overpass or hill.
I plan to have this inspected when I bring it to the dealer at 3000 miles.
General comments?
The Edge is perfect for my lifestyle:
The vinyl interior is easier to clean than carpet when my dog jumps in the cab wet and filthy; or, when I spill my coffee all over the seats (every morning).
The aggressive looks of the Edge (honeycomb grill, scoop hood, heavy duty suspension) gets lots of compliments. The Ranger XLT, on the other-hand, is more suitable for my Mom to drive.
The 4.0 - 6 cyl. engine with the automatic transmission drives real smooth, but the suspension reminds you it's a truck. Go haul some stuff or tow something!!!
The cabin is super quiet, assisting in peak sound performance from the in-dash 6 disc CD changer.
The Edge Super-cab was designed for me... my brain must have been tapped in my sleep...
