On the 4WD side, the XL comes in as the base level trim in the Ford Ranger lineup. Unlike its RWD counterpart, the XL 4WD features a stronger 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, noticeably lower than that of the RWD. This trim has two doors, seats three, and offers optional air conditioning and CD player as well as standard ABS brakes. On the whole, you might do better to upgrade to a higher-level trim that has at least a few of the basic features you expect from a pickup truck.
