Quick assistance would be very helpful i have to go soon for a mmeting and i need the answers ASAP It would be GREATLY appreciated...
 
1996 was the first year they offered 4WABS, so depending on when your truck was manufactured, it may or may not have it.

If you give a dealer your VIN# they can check for you.

If you have a 2.3 or 3.0, it is RABS only, if you have the 4.0L it has 4WABS.

IT's easy enough to look underneath and see if there is a cable in clips that runs along wiht the caliper brake hose.

Failing that the ABS pump is kinda obvious uder the hood of a '95-up Ranger.

And for the record I've seen 1994 rangers with factory 4WABS.

On the 4.0 supercabs I believe it was standard starting in 1995.

BTW, Ihave 1995-97 beams on ym truck to get the two piston calipers
and I had an absolute devil of a time getting a NON-ABS Left front brake
hose when I was putting my Ranger together.

there simply was NO LISTING for a non-ABS '95 or '96 Ranger.

I finally found a listing at NAPA for a 1997 without ABS.
