  For the 1994 model-year, the Ford Motor Company offered two trucks. The Ford Ranger is its compact pickup truck while the Ford F-150 is its larger, 1/2-ton, full-size counterpart. Each vehicle has its standard engine--with the F-150 having the more powerful, but less fuel-efficient, type.
  
  

Ford Ranger Engines

• The 1994 Ford Ranger was offered in two standard engines. Some trim combinations have a 2.3-liter, inline four-cylinder engine which produces 98 horsepower and 124 ft.-lbs. of torque. It also has a 2,311 cc displacement, a bore and stroke of 3.7 by 3.3 inches and a compression ratio of 9 to 1. The engine uses a multi-point fuel injection system. Other trim combinations offer a 3-liter, V-6 engine that produces 140 horsepower and 160 ft.-lbs. of torque. Its displacement is 2,983 cubic centimeters, the bore and stroke are 3.5 by 3.14 inches and the compression ratio is 9.3 to 1. This engine has a sequential electronic fuel injection system.
  
  

Ford F-150 Engine

• The bigger 1994 Ford F-150 has a 4.9-liter, inline six-cylinder engine. Horsepower is rated at 145, and torque is 265 ft.-lbs. It has a displacement of 4,917 cubic centimeters, a 4- by 3.98-inch bore and stroke and a compression ratio of 8.8 to 1. Like the 2.3-liter engine, the F-150 uses a multi-point fuel injection system.
  
  

Fuel Economy

• Each 1994 Ford Ranger and F-150 engine is paired with a standard five-speed manual transmission although some of the vehicles are equipped with a four-speed automatic. Thus, fuel economy varies based on the transmission types as well as the drive train; the Ranger and F-150 have rear-wheel and all-wheel drive versions. The '94 Ranger has a fuel economy range of 17 to 22 miles per gallon for city driving and 21 to 27 MPG on the highway. The '94 F-150 is less thrifty with fuel: 15 mpg for city driving and 18 to 20 MPG on the highway.
