2009 Ford Ranger

Presented here is a remarkably low-mileage 2009 Ford Ranger XL SuperCab with only 13,321 original miles since new. Finished in an attractive Gray exterior over a Gray and Black interior with cloth seats and gray carpeting, this truck stands out as a rarely driven example of one of the most enduring compact pickups ever produced. Backed by a clean CARFAX report, this Ranger is a strong candidate for anyone seeking a rugged and honest utility vehicle with simplicity, capability, and durability at its core. The 2009 model year brought some subtle yet meaningful updates to the Ranger, including a refreshed front bumper designed to enhance aerodynamic efficiency. While the core design of the Ranger remained largely unchanged since its last full redesign in 1990, its familiarity has become a strength, allowing Ford to fine-tune a proven platform over nearly two decades of production. By 2009, the Ranger had become the last true compact pickup on the American marketoutlasting its rivals as others grew in sizeoffering a rare combination of agility, affordability, and utility. This particular truck is configured as a 2-door SuperCab, adding functionality beyond the standard Regular Cab layout. Unlike other extended cab configurations, the rear doors on this SuperCab do not open, making it a unique and simplified design. Inside the cab, two fold-down bench seats are mounted in the rear, offering occasional-use seating or the ability to fold them away completely to create additional interior cargo space. Despite its compact footprint, this Ranger includes a 6-foot bed, ideal for hauling gear, supplies, or weekend project materials. A bed liner has been installed, offering added protection for the bed surface and contributing to the vehicles overall utility. Under the hood lies Fords proven 2.3-liter inline four-cylinder engine, producing 143 horsepower and 154 lb-ft of torque. Its paired to a 5-speed automatic transmission, offering smooth and efficient shifting for everyday use. EPA fuel economy estimates reach 19 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway, outperforming many competitors in its class. Reviewers at the time praised this powertrain setup for delivering adequate performance for light-duty hauling and daily commuting, particularly for those not needing the additional fuel consumption of a V6. Equipped with power windows and power mirrors, this Ranger XL adds functional touches to its no-nonsense interior. While the cabin features hard plastics and a straightforward layout, the materials were praised by some reviewers as being of higher quality than those found in other compact pickups of the time. Seating for two in the front is standard, with decent headroom and legroom; the trucks compact footprint keeps the cabin cozy yet functional. The audio system consists of a basic AM/FM stereo in this XL configuration. Safety equipment includes standard anti-lock brakes, and the Ranger earned four out of five stars in frontal crash testing from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While side airbags and electronic stability control were not available on this generation, the Rangers compact size and proven construction contributed to respectable safety scores for the era. Built on a time-tested platform, the 2009 Ranger XL SuperCab remains one of the last true compact pickups offered in the U.S. market. With its exceptionally low 13,321 miles, clean CARFAX, versatile 2-door SuperCab layout, 6-foot lined bed, 5-speed automatic transmission, and efficient 2.3L engine, this particular Ranger is a rare find that delivers old-school utility with the kind of simplicity and straightforward design that is increasingly hard to come by.
