Default Ranger Edge

Been a older Ranger fan since I bought my first one in 1985. Recently interested in the newer models. What is the difference in the older Rangers and the newer Ranger Edge other than appearance. Thanks for any input.

The ford ranger edge has 4 wheel drive suspension even though its only 2 wheel drive, and i think the stock rims might be bigger, but im not sure

The 04 I am looking to buy has 16" wheels and I did notice that the suspension was stiffer. I was surprised that it did not have jump seats or rear doors. Thanks jjevan23 for your reply!!

My 2004 Edge has the lift of the 4x4 but its only 4x2. I recommend finding the extended cab with the opening rear doors. Helps alot! The extra clearance helps when I'm camping, and the 3.0 is slightly better, slightly, on gas. Thats my 2 cents on my edge.

The Edge package gives you the 4wd height...even though its 4X2. Just like everybody said. I have a base model Ranger with the Edge package. So far it gives me the 4WD height, flares, 3.0L V6, better audio (I think), and thats about it...all I could think of.

Well the edge comes with 4x4 suspension without the 4x4 (as people said) and the 3.0.

If you want a 4x4 i recommend getting an FX4 which comes with the 4.0l. The 4.0l produces 207hp and 240 lb/ft o torque.

But if you are wanting a edge specifically i would get it with the 4.0.

My 03 edge is a 4.0 and has 4x4 aswell. Like the others stated the edge package was the torsion bar front suspension even on 2wd trucks, and color matched bumpers/fender flairs and a decal package

people, stop making it sound like the Edge only came in 4X2 with 4x4 ride height. Edges came in both 4x2 and 4x4, regular and supercab, 4.0 or 3.0 4.10's or 3.73's, 235's or 245's, stick, or auto, sliding or soild rear window, open or limited slip diff.
My point is don't say all Edges are 2wd!
