Wheel Spin; High Speed Driving; Speed Limiter; Driving In Bad Weather - Ford Ranger Owner's Manual

Wheel Spin

Extreme acceleration can cause the rear wheels to spin,
perhaps resulting in reduced steering control.
If the wheels spin, use 2 (Second gear) to gain traction. Move
forward slowly and evenly. If this does not work, try rocking
the vehicle.
For 4x4 vehicles, engage 4WD, and try to drive away.

High Speed Driving

Ford Motor Company recommends obeying posted speed limits.
Driving too fast for conditions creates the possibility of
loss of vehicle control. Driving at very high speeds for
extended periods of time may result in damage to vehicle
components.

Speed limiter

All models are equipped with a Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) which limits the maximum engine speed and thus road
speed in top gear. Vehicle operation is normal since the
controlled maximum speed is above posted highway speeds in
North America.

Driving in Bad Weather

Slippery roads
Drive cautiously on wet or snowy roads:
Do not quickly move the steering wheel unless necessary.
Drive slower than you normally would.
Give your vehicle more distance to stop.
