Using E85 in Ranger

You really need to ask a local Ford dealer. They should have service manuals that will explain exactly what you truck is equipped to use.

Anything else is likely to be someone's guess.

If the vin does not match, no because it has differnet seals, hoses and injectors (because you have to burn a lot more fuel becuae of its lower energy content) I question what is gained here because MPG will decrease a lot along with range so even if it is a buck cheaper, it may cost more to actually use it.

According to the information from this reference:

VIN Position 8 = K = 4.0-SOHC EFI FFV V-6 GASOLINE/FFV VIN Position 8 = V = 3.0 EFI-FFV V-6 GASOLINE/E85

So, it appears to me if you have a 3.0L V-6, it is mostly able to use E85.
