The 2003 Ford Ranger, depending on the engine option, typically features an interference engine. Both the 2.3L and 4.0L V6 engines used in that model can cause valve and piston contact if the timing belt or chain fails. Regular maintenance of the timing components is crucial to avoid potential engine damage in the event of a failure.
