Brake System: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Ranger, 2003 Ford Ranger, and 2002 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The brake system consists of the following components:

The Ranger is equipped with a vacuum-assisted power braking system. The braking system is a front-to-rear split hydraulic system. The front brakes utilize a dual piston brake caliper and disc brake system. The rear drum brakes use a self-adjusting system. The parking brake system uses the rear drum brakes and is self-adjusting. 4-Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System (4WABS) is standard equipment.
