I own a 02 Ranger XLT 4.0 4x4 off road. I have noticed that when I'm looking for parts for my truck that I'm ask if its an Ranger Edge.This occurs at places like Autozone, Advanced Auto, Napa, etc. I was wondering what was so special about the Ranger Edge. From what I've been able to tell is nothing except for it says Edge on them. Does anyone know what the differance is

 

Edge 2wd trucks come with torsion bar front suspension. Your 4x4 will have that anyway.

From my understanding, after that, it is nothing more than a few painted to match pieces.

 

Edge has color matched fender flares painted front bumper and rear bumper and a little sticker on the bed that says EDGE

 

Ok Thanks I was just wondering what the differances were.

 

edge 2wd and 4x4 are the same height. edge has a vinyl floor and color coded bumpers, grille surround, and fender flares. edges sold in the midwest all came with 245's. all edges have torsion bars.

 

What do edges come with not from the Midwest?

Don't the 2wd edges come with vinyl and 4wd come with carpet or is that the XLT models.

I know it is backwards from what you think it should be 4wd carpet and 2wd vinyl.

 

ALL Edges and later Sport models come with Vinyl floor..

 

Forgot the vinyl was a edge thing, I love my vinyl floor!

 

You forgot the trailhead

 

Still dont understand

So A edge sold in Florida came with larger tires? Why would they switch it

 

Mine was sold here in Florida, had 235's on it.

 

Mine was here in the midwest and it had 235's also

 

bigger tires were just an option its how the truck was ordered option wise, had nothing to do with regions getting trucks with a certain size tire on them.

 

There was the Edge and also the Edge Plus, maybe that has a difference?

Mine came with 235s as well.

 

vinyl floors FTW!

A couple years ago I looked at an 02 Edge 2wd ext cab. I was immediately sold on the vinyl floor, but not sold on the 2wd and automatic.

 

edge plus appearance package came with aluminum rims and 6disc changer thats it

 

The edge has more styling, Torsion front end for a higher ride and blocks in the rear for higher ride. I believe they also have upgraded shocks. There actually ere 4wd edges at one point IIRC.

 

also was on option for power windows/locks and bucket seats/console


both tire size where an option

 

That was FX4 level II 03+ and FX4 offroad 02

edge came with standard shocks

 

FX4 Level II FTW.

 

Yes OMG i love my vinyl floors... so easy to keep looking brand new. Just take out the seats and armor-all.

 

these were things i was wondering about as well being a 4wd edge owner. but one more question about the edge arises: whats with the different placements for the "edge" decals? on some (mine and others) i see it in front of the rear wheel at the bottom of the bed. on other edge's i see it above the tail light similar to the placement of an FX4 decal. whats the difference?

 

vinyl floor makes my life so much easier

 

EDGE PLUS FTW
oh you guys forgot to mention, steppies EDGEs don't have fender flares

 

01-03 was the lower position in front of the rear wheel and 04-05 were back towards the tail light IIRC
