How fast does a 1988 Ford Ranger go?

The top speed of a 1988 Ford Ranger varied significantly depending on the engine and optional equipment. There's no single answer. However, a reasonable estimate for a typical 1988 Ranger would be in the range of 65-85 mph. Factors affecting top speed include:

* Engine size and type: A larger engine (like a V6) would have a higher top speed than a smaller four-cylinder.

* Transmission: An automatic transmission might have a slightly lower top speed than a manual.

* Axle ratio: Different axle ratios were available, impacting acceleration and top speed.

* Aerodynamics: Modifications that affect aerodynamics (like a camper shell) would affect top speed.

* Vehicle condition: A well-maintained vehicle will generally perform better than one that is not.

Keep in mind that these are estimates, and reaching the top speed will depend on various conditions, such as road grade, wind, and load.
