Very Good Truck With The Only Minus Being The Gas Mileage By Tom

I like the powerful V6 engine and quick acceleration and the ability to haul that I didn't have in the Mazda. My only complaint is that the gas mileage could be better but with a pickup truck with a 4... Read More

CarGurus Overview

2008 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCab 4Dr


Unlike the more-powerful 4WD version of the XLT SuperCab 4 Door, the rear-wheel-drive version features a 3.0-liter, 148-hp V6, although you can upgrade it to a 4.0-liter, 207-hp V6. Gas mileage comes out to 16 mpg in the city and 21 on the highway. With four doors and a SuperCab frame, this trim offers room for five passengers plus standard air conditioning, CD player, and ABS brakes. Power windows, power door locks, and leather seats are available as options. If you're willing to sacrifice a little off-road capability and engine power for better gas mileage, the XLT SuperCab 4 door RWD presents a solid option in the upper echelon of Ford Ranger trims.

If you need extra room for your friends and strong off-road capabilities, the XLT SuperCab 4WD should fit your needs. For starters, you get the strongest available engine for the Ranger: the 4.0-liter, 207-hp V6. Gas mileage comes out to 15 mpg in the city and 18 on the highway. In addition, the SuperCab body features two doors, room for five, and standard air conditioning, CD player, and ABS brakes. Options include power windows, power door locks, and leather seats. So if you like a little extra style and more passenger room, the XLT SuperCab 4WD presents a nice midrange option with the best engine the Ranger has to offer.

So you like getting more miles from your gas tank and more room for friends, but don't want to settle for a base-level XL. If that's the case, the XLT SuperCab RWD may have just what you need. This trim features a 2.3-liter, 143-hp inline-four engine, which can be upgraded to the 3.0-liter, 148-hp V6 or the 4.0-liter, 207-hp V6. As with other rear-wheel-drive trims, gas mileage comes out to 18 mpg in the city and 23 on the highway. The SuperCab frame features two doors and room for five, plus standard air conditioning, CD player, and ABS brakes. Options include power windows, power door locks, and leather seats. Overall, this trim could use a better standard engine, but the optional leather seats and available engine upgrades make it possible to trick out this Ranger more than you could with other trims.


    

2008 Ford Ranger XLT LB 4WD


While the Ranger has a rear-wheel-drive version of the XLT LB, the 4WD trim features better offroad capability and the mid-level 3.0-liter, 148-hp V6 engine. Gas mileage comes out to 15 mpg in the city and 19 on the highway. This trim has two doors, seats three, and offers standard air conditioning, CD player, and ABS brakes. Options include power windows and power door locks. In sum, if you need the longer 84.6-inch cargo bed and can live without a plethora of features, you may want to give the XLT LB 4WD a look.


    

2008 Ford Ranger XLT LB


Looking for a midrange trim with an extra-long cargo bed? The XLT LB RWD may have just what you need. The cargo bed measures out to 84.6 inches, but the standard engine is the base 2.3-liter, 143-hp inline-four engine. But don't worry - you can upgrade that to the 3.0-liter, 148-hp V6 engine or the 4.0-liter, 207-hp V6. Gas mileage comes out to 18 mpg in the city and 23 on the highway. This trim has two doors, seats three, and offers standard air conditioning, CD player, and ABS brakes. Options include power windows and power door locks.


    

2008 Ford Ranger XLT 4WD


The XLT trim represents a step up from the base-level XL. This trim has a 3.0-liter, 148-hp V6 engine that can be upgraded to a 4.0-liter, 207-hp V6. Gas mileage comes out to 15 mpg in the city and 19 on the highway. Additional features include standard air conditioning, CD player, and ABS brakes, as well as optional power windows and power door locks. Handling and ride could use some improvement, although this is true of most Ford Ranger trims.


    

2008 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCab 4Dr 4WD


In addition to its status as one of the most passenger-friendly trims in the Ranger lineup, the XLT SuperCab 4 door 4WD features a standard 4.0-liter, 207-hp V6, the strongest engine available in the Ranger. Gas mileage comes out to 15 mpg in the city and 18 on the highway. This trim features four doors, seats five, and offers standard air conditioning, CD player, and ABS brakes. Options include power windows, power door locks, and leather seats. Overall, the XLT SuperCab 4 door 4WD gives you pretty much everything you could want in a Ford Ranger, plus extra room and access points for your most precious cargo: your passengers.


    

2008 Ford Ranger XLT


This trim represents one of the more stripped-down vehicles in the XLT family, featuring a 2.3-liter, 143-hp inline-four engine, upgradeable to the 3.0-liter, 148-hp V6. Gas mileage comes out to 18 mpg in the city and 23 on the highway. This trim has two doors, seats three, and offers standard air conditioning, CD player, and ABS brakes. Power windows and power door locks are optional. If you want more options than the XL but don't need the 4.0-liter, 207-hp V6, the XLT might fit just right.
