- Ford introduced the Ranger in 1982 as an entry in the compact truck market. Ford also used the Ranger name as a package on the F-150 pickup in the 1960s. Ford offered the Edge version of the Ranger in six trim levels for 2005, including two-wheel and four-wheel drive options, as well as a SuperCab.
- The 2005 Ford Ranger Edge included two engine options, based on the trim level chosen. The three-liter, V-6 engine had 148 horsepower, 180 pound-feet of torque, two valves per cylinder, an overhead cam, 3.5-inch bore and 3.14-inch stroke, as well as a compression ratio of 9.6:1. The four-liter, V-6 engine produced 207 horsepower, 238 pound-feet of torque, two valves per cylinder, a single overhead cam, a 3.95-inch bore and 3.32-inch stroke as well as a 9.7:1 compression ratio. A five-speed manual overdrive transmission was standard on all trims. A five-speed automatic-overdrive transmission was also available.
- The Edge trim's fuel tanks held either 17 or 19.5 gallons of gasoline, depending on the trim level chosen. The automatic transmission, using either engine and four-wheel drive, got 16 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway. The manual transmission, using four-wheel drive and the three-liter engine got 17 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway. The four-liter engine achieved 16 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. Rear-wheel drive models using the automatic transmission and three-liter engine got 18 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. The manual got an additional 1 mpg on the highway. The four-liter engine got 17 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. It gained another 1 mpg in both the city and on the highway with the manual transmission.
- Some dimensions of the Edge varied based on the trim level. They stood between 68.3 and 69.4 inches tall and between 188.5 and 202.9 inches long. They were a uniform 70.3 inches wide with 7.4 inches of ground clearance. The wheelbase varied from 111.6 to 125.7 inches.
