ford ranger edge!?

[jro909]

So in my daily routine of work i see alot of construction materials come and go, but one guy sticks in my head alot, he comes in about once a week and gets about 3 tons worth of shingles and another 800 pounds of plywood between his bumper pull trailer and his ford ranger...and everytime i try to tell him that its way too much for that truck, he then retorts with "its got the edge package, its an f150 with a ranger body" which just makes me scratch my head, yesterday he told me that his ranger can haul more then a 1500 chevy i can't find what exactly the edge package was so who knows but i thought i'd share that story with you folks lol

Isnt the edge just a 4x4 appearance pkg?

[jro909]

I have no idea, i tryed just googleing it and i really got no detail to what it is...hell i even looked at the truck in minor detail and noticed nothing special

 

i forgot to note the same guy also claimed that ford owns the hemi now

Edge was a few things over the years. Some were "fake" 4x4s (the stance of a 4x4 but 2WD). Toward the end they were a sporty pkg with body color bits everywhere.

 

 

There was never a extra payload Ranger. The guy is full of shit and is gonna get someone killed loading a Ranger like that. Hopefully just himself.

this guy should have his man card revoked, ford never did much special with the edge edition. It was mainly appearance.

This is a sums up of the edge nicely:

"Shown to the public for the first time at the Chicago Auto Show earlier this year, the Edge is so named because it will be a bit “edgier” than the regular Rangers. It will offer a host of features designed to appeal to high school and college-age kids, as well as be affordable."

Nothing in there about a ranger body on a f150 chassis. hahaha

One of the ladies who worked in the finance office of the dealer I used to work at had one too.

Lol I bet he would feel real manly driving it around, and trying to brag it up after reading in this topic!

[KMGZ400]

isnt the edge like the sport edition? any one that would say they have a ranger on an f150 body has issues.

LOL....Edge is an appearance package. I bet he feels dumb not even knowing what kind of truck he has.

They come in like FX4, level I-II, not much but interior differences and suspension. Nothing special.

At one time I owned a '99 Ford Ranger XLT with the 3.0L, reg cab, 2wd. It did have the same payload as my current Sierra, ~1600lbs. However to everything else that guy claims. No way, no how!

[old-chevy-dude]

The Edge package is a sportier package than the regular 2wd Rangers. All Edges (no matter if it is 2wd or 4wd) sits the same height. The reason being is even the 2wd Edges have the 4wd front suspension minus the axle; Edges have the same torsion bar suspension as all '98+ 4wd Rangers.... The Edges also have color matched fender flares and bumpers. Other than that, they are the same as other Rangers......
