I just bought a Ford Ranger XL 4 cylinder, 5 speed standard. Does this model have power steering? It sure as hell doesnt feel like it...i couldnt find the power steering unit under the hood, unless im lookin in the wrong place. someone tell me if some of these came with it or not...
According to Edmunds it does.
Edmunds has a list of options installed on his truck? An XL could easily have no PS, if you don't find a reservoir you don't have it.
It was listed under standard features.
But now I look at it again. The extended cab has power steering as a standard feature but the standard cab doesn't. If the OP can't find the power steering reservoir and it drives like it doesn't have it then I'm assuming he has a standard cab. Either way he should check Edmunds himself and find the info for his particular truck.
My brother looked at my truck today. It doesn't have power steering. The problem is, I got big ass tires on my truck, and its harder than hell to steer with em. Oh well, guess I'll have to visit the gym more often...heh
Just watch your hands don't slip off the wheel when doing slow turns.
I did this once, when I was young and had hair, in a sports car with no power steering and wide-ass tires. My hand slipped and I smacked myself right in the balls. Went from looking cool to looking for something on the floor in one easy second. :)
