CR's Take

Like its twin, the Ford Ranger, the dated B4000 is behind the times. It has compact dimensions - rare for a truck - and a useful-sized bed. The rough 4.0-liter V6 isn't particularly powerful or efficient. Handling is reluctant, and when unloaded, the rear of the truck can step out on bumpy corners or washboard roads. The ride is stiff and snappy. Stopping distances are long. The narrow cabin is noisy inside and has rudimentary levels of comfort and fit and finish. Extended-cab models have two rear jump seats, useless for adults or child seats. No side air bags or ESC are available but both are standard for the 2010 Ford Ranger. The B Series has been discontinued.
