Does a 1997 Ford Ranger come with dual airbags?

No, dual airbags (driver and passenger) were not standard on the 1997 Ford Ranger. They may have been available as an option on some higher trim levels, but it wasn't a standard feature across the board. To know for sure if a specific 1997 Ford Ranger has dual airbags, you'd need to check the vehicle's documentation or the sticker on the driver's side doorjamb (often listing safety features).
