The Ford Ranger's braking system generally provides adequate stopping power for typical driving conditions. It utilizes a combination of front disc brakes and rear drum brakes (or disc brakes on some models) to slow and stop the vehicle. The system also includes an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) for enhanced safety during braking. Regular maintenance and inspections are crucial to ensure optimal braking performance and safety.
