Where is the location of hood release on a 2002 Ford Ranger?

The hood release on a 2002 Ford Ranger is located inside the cabin, typically under the dashboard on the driver's side. It's usually a small lever or a pull-type cable release. It might be near the steering column or further down towards the driver's knee area. Look for a small handle or a knob with a hood emblem (or a picture of a hood) on it.
