Ford Ranger More than two decades ago, the Ford Ranger debuted as an answer to various compact pickup trucks being made available by Japanese automakers. The Ranger was cleanly styled and offered with a choice of a 6-foot or 7-foot bed. Ford boasted that the Ranger had more interior room than the best-selling imports and that 4-by-8-foot construction material could be carried in the bed.

Assuming it is like the older 4.0s, the best way I have found is to pull the inner fender lining on the passenger side, go through there, easier if the wheel is removed--and have a good assortment of swivels and extensions. There is no easy way. Bottom line, it sucks.
