Idk how weird it is but i have a 98 ranger xlt. It has no cruise, no power locks, roll up windows but has a/c, cd player, flare side bed, transmission cooler, 4:10 gears, trailer light harness, but has the smaller 7.5in rear end with the larger rear drum brakes but has a dana 35 front axle. Just seems to be a mix of weird parts considering the trim level and towing setup.
3.0 Super Cab? The 4.10 gears are the most unusual part, but probably a good idea on a 3.0 4wd automatic, which was an uncommon configuration, and Ford may have defaulted to that in a 4wd auto 3.0 Super Cab. My 2wd 3.0 Super Cab has 3.73 gears. 3.27 and 3.55 are common on 4.0s. Usually 4.10 would be found in an FX4 Level II or something, but 3.0s need all the help they can get with an automatic and 4wd. Super Cabs got the larger drums by default. I think there are exceptions like cab/chassis models, but generally only 4.0s got the 8.8 rear end (all 4.0s have 8.8s).
While sometimes listed as an option, I've never seen a 90s or later automatic Ranger without an aux trans cooler...they certainly needed it. Oddly enough a lot of manuals have a power steering cooler, but I haven't seen it on automatics that I can remember, not sure what's up with that.
The XLT package didn't add a lot of content to start, mainly carpet, cloth seats (optional on XL), nicer interior door panels, and 4 speakers (optional on XL with cassette or CD), and until 2004 or so chrome bumpers and grille. After a while even the chrome was part of an additional appearance package. Ford was big on putting together regional preferred equipment packages on Rangers. Mine has a Southeast region package that added tilt/cruise/leather wrapped steering wheel, sliding rear window, rear tint, and chrome faced steel wheels. The dealer optioned it with the combo CD/cassette radio, but that was the only thing outside of the regional package. No power windows or locks.
I remember around 2007-8 going to a rural NC Ford dealership that was largely unchanged from the late 1950s. They had about five regular cab 4wd 3.0 XLTs, and pretty well optioned. Body color bumpers, fog lights, power windows/locks. I wanted the blue one so bad.
