Is it safe to drive a ford ranger on the freeway for long trips?
Can a ford ranger safely sustain speeds of 85-90 mph without any problems at all?
I'm looking for a pickup truck that can haul stuff and is good for driving off roaming occasionally but I also what a pickup that has good performance as well.
My question is can a 2007 ford ranger XLT 4.0 v6 5 speed manual sustain speeds of 85-90 mph or is that pushing the limits of this truck?
The ranger was not designed for paved surfaces
It's designed to handle those speeds.
You would be beating it like a red headed stepchild, but it should work. My oldest son's truck (Ram 2500 with 6.7) will pull a loaded 35' gooseneck all day at 80 mph.
It burns gas like a muv' and if that's fine with you, go for it.
- Front Bumper is gone on the used car I just bought. How much to fix it? Is it safe to drive? I just bought a used car for $1300 the only issues with it our the rear suspension needs to be fixed and the front fender is missing completely. There's no metal at all and no cover so the bottom half of the radiator is exposed. Its an 02 ford Taurus and I'm wondering how much a complete new bumper is going to cost like a ball park estimate? And is it safe to drive it without the front bumper temporarily?
- 1997 Ford Ranger 4.0 V6 won't shift into drive after being driven. Takes longer than should to shift into drive when first started? It will go in reverse fine. First thing in the morning when I leave for work, it will shift into drive on it's own, but takes a bit longer than it should. After getting it warm, won't shift into drive at all. I can shift down to 1st or 2nd, then back into drive and it will "pop up" into drive within a second or 2. I also have a ODB2 error P1744 (Torque Converter circuit).
- Performance Camshafts safe to drive without a tune? I just installed some Ford hot rod camshafts in my 2010 mustang GT and also have shorty headers, a cold air intake, cat back exhaust, and 24 lb ford racing injectors and was wondering if it is safe to drive for 2 weeks without a tune, my dyno appointment isn't until the 22nd
- I have oil in one of my cylinders on my Ford Focus Wagon Is it still safe to drive? I have a ford focus wagon and one of the four cylinders has oil in it. I was told by my friend who is a mechanic that he changed the spark plugs for me for free. It runs great and I hear no car noises. Any temporary fixes if it needs to be fixed? What should I do!
