2012 ford ranger

The Ford Ranger is a compact pickup truck manufactured by Ford from 1983 to 2015 for the North American car market. Ford Ranger 2012 (3 generations) is built on a single "cart" with the Mazda BT-50 and was produced in three different variations: with double, one and a half and single cabs. The first generations of the pickup did not have a high level of safety, however, in the production of cars produced in 2011-2015, the main emphasis was placed precisely on improving this indicator, and as a result of the crash tests, the model received the maximum number of stars. The car is distinguished by a high level of comfort and quality of finishing materials, and its off-road qualities are not inferior to the most famous world manufacturers. At the same time, the pickup truck is compact and convenient for operation in a metropolis. Various modifications of the 2012 Ford Ranger were equipped with both gasoline and diesel engines. As the main power units, th 2012 ford ranger is model received: As a transmission, a 5-speed "mechanics" or a 6-speed "automatic" are installed on the car. In all modifications, the 2012 Ford Ranger received front-wheel drive with an independent front suspension on double wishbones and a dependent rear suspension with springs. The main dimensions and parameters of the pickup truck include: Modern design and high technical characteristics allow the car for many years to enter the TOP rating of pickups presented both in the Russian and world markets. Among the main advantages of the model, motorists most often note: Along with numerous advantages, the car also has a number of disadvantages, the main of which, according to the owners of the pickup truck, are: Among the main drawbacks of the model, motorists most often note a rather weak paintwork. Therefore, when choosing a car manufactured in 2012 in the secondary market, you should not expect to find a pickup truck in perfect condition. Nevertheless, a fairly good anti-corrosion treatment protects the car well from the formation of rust pockets, although it does not completely exclude the possibility of its appearance on the frame and rear of the cab. There are also complaints about the quality of plastic on the central tunnel and pickup steering wheel. Among the cars presented on the Russian market, most often there are models with a 2.2-liter 150-horsepower diesel engine. One of the advantages of the engine is the rather low fuel consumption, especially when paired with a manual transmission. This power unit has an EGR system that provides exhaust gas recirculation. Additional smoothness of the course is provided at the expense of balance shafts. The engine has a high degree of reliability and can work from 300 to 350 thousand kilometers without problems. The most powerful is a diesel engine with a volume of 3.2 liters. The design of the fuel system of this engine uses piezoelectric injectors and the Common Real system, which ensures a smooth combustion of the air-fuel mixture. The turbine of the power unit is equipped with an electronic control system and has a rather large resource. Unlike diesel engines, a 2.5-liter “aspirated” gasoline engine is characterized by high fuel consumption and increased oil consumption after 100 thousand kilometers. Also, after overcoming this milestone, it is necessary to clean the throttle valve in order to avoid problems with starting a cold engine and to exclude unstable operation of the unit at idle. All motors are quite demanding on the quality of the oil used, which must be replaced every 8 to 10 thousand kilometers. Both gearboxes installed on the 2012 Ford Ranger work quite reliably, without causing any problems to motorists throughout the entire period of operation. A manual transmission after 120 - 150 thousand kilometers may require clutch replacement, but the release bearing, most likely, will not be able to overcome the hundred thousand milestone. Unlike mechanics, automatic transmission has some disadvantages in the form of pauses that occur when switching gears. It should also be noted that there is no manual gear change mode. However, in the case of a pickup truck, these problems do not have any decisive significance. A prerequisite for trouble-free operation of the transmission is the timely replacement and use of the original oil. Unlike the engine and transmission, which are distinguished by a high level of reliability and a fairly long period of trouble-free operation, the suspension life of the 3rd generation F https://cars45.ug/listing/ford/ranger/2012
