I just bought my first Ranger today, its a 2002 Ford Ranger Fx2 Offroad with BFgoodrich 31x10.50x15 AT tires on it. I bought it from my dad for $9500 after he bought himself a new 2010 F150 Fx2 Sport. I've noticed this truck isn't particularly fast, I'm assuming it has low gear ratios for offroading? I was curious to know what the horsepower and torque on this truck is. Its the 4.0L V6. And what is this truck capable of as far as offroading stock?
Take a picture of the door tag and someone will decode it for you. [ I can't remember off the top of my head who does this on this forum, sorry for my lack of memory]

yeah I plan on putting some MT's on it as soon as these AT's wear down some, but these tires are just about brand new so i'm afraid it might be a while, will those Goodyears's hold up alright off road?
oh well thats pretty freakin good news then thanks! the hp rating on it kinda sucks but the torque is pretty decent. so with that setup you reckon it could do some pretty good trail riding and muddin?
thanks I appreciate it, I'm trying to think of ideas to do to this. I'd love a bull bar on the front but the ones I've seen are around $700 and thats just not in my price range.
and oh yeah I've gotta have my Georgia tag on any vehicle I own. I gotta represent for my DAWGS!
yeah I definantely would like to get some Procomp Xtreme AT's in a 33x12.50x15, and maybe a inch body lift or so. How many inches lift do these trucks come with stock?
Sick stock truck man! You have the best flippin combination between engine and stock L/S axle ratio you can get man! My neighbor is a Dawgs fan... hes got an entire room dedicated to them and just made new cornhole boards with Dawgs stuff all over it. lol
well for ur truck u will need a 3 inch body or the only suspension lift they sell now days a superlift 4 inch lift thats $2000 bucks or just a maybe 200 buck body lift to clear 33 inch tires
oh man! thats a freakin expensive lift! I think i'll just stick with my 31's..at least for now. I thought about leveling the truck but that wouldn't be any time soon.
Thanks man! I thought it was a pretty nice truck. Dad bought the truck when i was 16 or so back in 2002 and I've loved it ever since. I knew it was a pretty cool ranger but i didn't know it was all this. its a pleasant surprise and $9500 apparently well spent.
oh sorry man I completely missed the Georgia comment haha! :laugh: yeah man i've been raised around the bulldogs, my fiance says I'm a little obsessive cause on Bulldog Saturdays I get mad when she talks to me when the dawgs are playing. thats amazing, cornhole is pretty freakin fun. you must be from ga?
I have a 2002 Ford ranger XLT sohc. I'm wondering if a 180 thermostat can be used in this vehicle? I'm not even sure that's what's going on so let me give you the scenario.
There was a crack in the housing unit. I ordered a new housing assembly and a new thermostat online. I figured while I had...

Hi everyone! I could use some help identifying a hose under the hood. I attached a picture that I have noted of what hose I'm trying to identifying. Thanks for all the help in advance.
Hello everyone. I have an 88 Ford ranger with the 2.9l v6. I've had it parked for a while at my mom's house and she hooked the battery in backwards one day. Ever since then when I put in the battery I get no power to anything. It is just dead, no lights, no horn, absolutely nothing. I replaced...
