The new Ford Ranger is also developed with the new arrangement of side air bags, intended to provide protection for the head and upper body.

Environmental Protection Agency estimated that the 2010 Ranger can present 26 mpg fuel efficiency on the highway. The Ford also received a commendable 5-star rate for safety vehicles awarded by the US government.

RSC is known as the world’s most advanced electronic stability control system. AdvanceTrac engineered RSC with a sensor for gyroscopic roll that can verify the vehicle’s roll rate and angle. If it senses that the vehicle is going to roll, it will automatically operate with extra countermeasures – such as by decreasing the engine power and/or utilizing the brakes to the wheels – this is to improve the rollover resistance of the vehicle.

2010 Ford Ranger is also engineered with unsurpassed safety and security technologies, such as Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Ford’s Personal Safety System ® and the Securilock ® reflexive anti-theft system. Also the Ford is provided with the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) and sensors that are programmed to guarantee that the air bags are not organized when small children are on the passenger side.

Ford also said that their latest F-150 model’s engine was subjected to a series of extensive and thorough tests at their own dynamometer laboratory. Better horsepower while on tow, decreased emissions and improved fuel economy are just among the features of the new Triton engine.

The automobile company also said that they have focused great attention to the new F-150’s suspension and chassis. The new model is said to have expansive track and softer suspension—features that will enable the unit to smoothly glide road obstacles.

Fox Racing Shox is reported to have designed the truck’s suspension dampers. This means that the Ford Raptor is the only street truck with internal bypass shocks. The said feature will prevent the unit from being bottomed out while on travel. The truck also has 35-inch BF Goodrich All-Terrain TA/KO 315/70-17 tires. Such tires are designed for both on and off road travel.

Ford is also proud to announce that the Raptor has added features like Trailer Sway Control, Hill Descent Control, Electronic Locking Differential, Auxiliary Switch, Off-Road Mode, and an Integrated Brake Controller.

Ford’s Dearborn Truck Plant in Rouge Center located at Dearborn, Michigan will facilitate the production of the new F-150 SVT Raptor.
