I think Sean made a sticky!

Erm...that sounds bad.

I think we should lock and sticky this topic.

lol nicely put! :laugh:

hmm this should thro in a monkey wrench....

mines and XLT with a rubber floor, cruise, power windows, no tint, no fog lights..... whole lot a nothin... heh.

nope, just an XLT 4x4 Value Appearance Package :cool:

thanx peeps, lots of info was very helpful

so from lowest to nicest whats the order?

-xl
-xlt
-stx
-sport
-fx4
-fx4 level II

Sounds about right but I would maybe put the xlt over the stx..

O OK? JW CAUSE I GOT LUMBAR SEATS AND POWER EVERYTHING BUT MY NEHIBOR HAS AN XLT AND NO POWER OR LUMBAR????? TONKARANGER04

You can get power everything in an xlt too..

ooooooo i see. kinda figured. ok

yea i have an xlt, like fletch said no power on ne thing, except under the hood (vroom, vroom)

keep in mind guys the guide really only works for 2006 models... Ford does change things from year to year... so older trucks may have different standard features, options, etc

Did anyone else notice that the new 2006 FX4's are called Edge's too?

I was wondering about that too. Mines a XLT. typo?

Every Ranger is a version of either an XL or XLT. Ours are XLT's. I was just wondering why Ford calls the FX4 models Edges.

There are no Ranger Edge models for 2006, FX4 or otherwise.

well the FX series is color matched like the edges were... personally, I gont like that scheme at all since I am a Chrome kinda guy

edge history...to my knowledge........

Sport --> Edge.........2006.....Edge goes back to Sport. No more Edge. Why...because there's the new Ford Edge...a mini SUV.

That's what I thought, but I was just going off of what he copied from the Ford site or wherever he got that info from.

Another FYI link for ya....

just my two cents.. but as for the "Edge FX4s" all it means is that the FX4s are based off of the edge/sport body styles. Pretty much the FX4 is just the same damn thing as a Sport 4x4 plus skid plates. Yes there is no such thing as an Edge in 2006, but ford probably jut wanted to add that to its informational page to tell potential owners that the FX4s are based off of the edge/sport body style.. unlike before where they were based off th XLT
