For a 2003 Ford Ranger with a V6 engine, it is recommended to use a blend of ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, specifically a coolant that meets Ford's specification, such as Motorcraft Premium Antifreeze/Coolant.

It's important to avoid using coolant types that contain silicates or are not specifically formulated for Ford vehicles. Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations.
