Ford Ranger 2010 Silver

The addition Ranger also has a tire pressure monitoring system to ensure tires are always properly inflated. To help prevent roll over and make the vehicle easier to control the Ranger is equipped with Electronic Stability Control standard. In addition to the side curtain airbags, Ford has equipped the Ranger with 4 ABS disk brakes standard for the first time in its production history. The Ranger has not been bumper bash or rear side impact tested by the NHTSA. The IIHS gives the Ranger an acceptable crash offset rating, which is the second highest rating on its four rating scale. Since 1998 the Ranger has received an acceptable rating from the IIHS, and the 2010 model is no exception. Ranger received a 3 out of 5 rollover resistance rating, which is comparable to other trucks in its class. The new side curtain air bags have not yet received a crash test rating, and the rear jump seats are not considered to be particularly safe. Ranger also has a 5 out of 5 front side impact rating. The Ranger has received a 5 out of 5 driver's side frontal crash rating and a 4 out of 5 passenger's side frontal crash rating from the NHTSA. Ford has updated the Ranger's safety features for 2010 with disk brakes and side curtain airbags to protect occupants from injury in a side-impact or rollover situation. As the first small truck to feature dual airbags, Ranger has always led the small and mid-sized pickup truck market in safety, and the 2010 model is no exception.

The New 2011 Ford

Chevy Cruze. Its 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder is lighter and more powerful than the Fiesta and it, too, should deliver 40 mpg on the highway, clearly the leading vehicle in the compact class. Other winners are likely to be as follows: Ford Fiesta. Its 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine already provides best in class (subcompact) fuel economy, 40 mpg on the highway or 33 mpg combined. The Volt may also edge out the Prius although it is an electric car with a supplemental gas engine. Figure that the Leaf's equivalent fuel economy numbers will be in excess of 100 mpg when the calculation methods have been finalized. Come December, the pure electric Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt will debut, with the former expected to dethrone the Prius. The top fuel efficient cars will once again be hybrid models with the Toyota Prius retaining its position for a few more months. Automakers can call whatever comes out in a calendar year the following year's model year, even if the car goes on sale on January 1. I say "updated" because the 2011 models have been released throughout 2010, with the last of them expected to roll out in December. Over the coming weeks, the fuel economy numbers will be updated to reflect the release of the remaining 2011 model year vehicles.
