No. 4WD means the engine delivers power to all four wheels. ABS is automatic braking system, meaning the brakes will not 'lock up' in a panic stop.
ABS = Antilock Brake System
On the 1998 Ford Ranger , rear ABS brakes were standard on the XL and XLT 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel ABS was an option on the 2 wheel drive models. The more expensive 4x4 XLT version came with 4 wheel ABS according to my Consumer Guide book - Helpfull My Ranger does have 4 wheel ABS.
i have the exact same van, and i was told it was four wheel antilock.
If it is a 2-wheel drive then it is on the transmission tail shaft housing. If it is a 4-wheel drive then it is on the transfur case.
The 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive engines are the exact same.
Of course they do they are the same thing because cars only have 4 wheels, so it would be the same as an all wheel drive.
Rear wheel ABS standard, 4 wheel ABS optional.
4 wheel ABS was an option in 2001.
To determine if your vehicle has 4-wheel or 2-wheel ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), check the owner's manual or look for an ABS warning light on the dashboard when you start the vehicle. Additionally, you can inspect the brake system: if all four wheels have ABS sensors and modules, it typically indicates 4-wheel ABS. If only the front wheels have these components, it's likely a 2-wheel ABS system. Lastly, performing a test drive in a safe environment can also help; with 4-wheel ABS, you should feel the system working at all four wheels during hard braking.
Rear wheel ABS standard, 4 wheel ABS optional.
Rear abs was standard. 4 wheel was optional.
A 4 wheel abs would have sensor wires running to the front wheel bearings.A 4 wheel abs would have sensor wires running to the front wheel bearings.
They could be. Depends on how they were built.
