About the Ford Ranger
Ford introduced the first-generation Ranger in 1983. Back then, it was a small pickup truck that was ideal for driving backroads and commuting to work. Today, this midsize pickup truck is in its fourth generation and has modern styling, powerful engine options, and an off-road trim that's ready to hit the trails. Explore the features of the Ford Ranger to help you decide which trim fits your lifestyle.
Trim Levels and Exterior Features
The Ford Ranger comes in four trims: the XL, XLT, Lariat, and Raptor. This rugged-looking midsize pickup truck has a bold front end with a large grille and futuristic C-shaped headlights that enhance the contemporary design of the Ranger. This truck comes exclusively with four full-size doors, a SuperCrew cab, and a 59.6-inch cargo bed. It has an overall cargo volume of 43.5 cubic feet, ideal for hauling supplies and adventure gear.
The Raptor trim stands out from the crowd with its massive front end and the Ford badge emblazoned on the grille. It also has a protective front skid plate and a specialized Raptor SuperCrew cab.
Optional packages, such as the Chrome Appearance Package and the FX4 Off-Road Package available on select trims, enhance the appearance and performance of the Ranger. You can express your adventurous personality with exterior color choices such as Hot Pepper Red, Cactus Gray, or Velocity Blue.
Engine Options and Performance
Ford has built the Ranger for power and performance. Under the hood of the XL trim, you'll find a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 270 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft of torque. In the XLT and Lariat trims, you'll get a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine that delivers an impressive 315 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft of torque. Rear-wheel drive comes standard with the XL, XLT, and Lariat trims, with the option to upgrade to the more traction-grabbing four-wheel-drive system.
If you want the ultimate power from your Ranger, choose the Raptor trim. It comes exclusively with four-wheel drive and a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine that pumps out 405 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft of torque. This adrenaline-pumping trim comes with 2.5-inch FOX Live Valve shocks, an electronic-locking rear differential, and a Watts link rear suspension system. All three engine options pair with a smooth-shifting 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission.
Towing and Payload Capacities
Whether you're hauling a boat to the lake or taking a trailer full of supplies to the construction site, the Ranger delivers on towing and payload capacity. When properly equipped, the XL, XLT, and Lariat trims can tow up to 7,500 pounds, which is an impressive amount for this class of pickup truck. With the Raptor, you can haul up to 5,510 pounds. It's perfect for filling an off-road trailer with adventure toys and driving out to the backcountry.
Payload capacities vary depending on the engine type:
- With the 2.3-liter engine, you get 1,805 pounds of payload capacity.
- With the 2.7-liter engine, the payload capacity ranges from 1,542 to 1,711 pounds.
- With the 3.0-liter Raptor engine, the Ranger provides up to 1,375 pounds of payload capacity.
Interior Comfort and Space
While rugged on the outside, the Ranger has a luxurious interior with upscale materials and cutting-edge technology features. With two rows of seats, this pickup truck can fit up to five people comfortably and provides lots of legroom and headroom, including for those riding in the back. As you move up the trims, the Ranger offers supple leather upholstery, power-adjustable heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. Passengers will enjoy the dual-zone automatic climate control system and the available power-sliding rear window that lets in fresh air.
You'll find plenty of cubby holes and storage spaces inside the cab to hold your personal items, water bottles, and coffee mugs. There's also storage underneath the rear seat for large items, such as a jack, jumper cables, a tool kit, and a first-aid kit.
Innovative Technology Features
Ford has equipped the Ranger with cutting-edge technology. All trims come with the Sync 4A infotainment system and include a 10.1-inch or 12.4-inch touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. There are USB-A and USB-C ports and an available wireless charging pad that comes as standard on some trims, making it easy to keep your mobile devices charged for the journey.
To stay connected, add FordPass Connect, which comes with a 4G LTE in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot that up to 10 devices can connect to. Cloud-based navigation helps you reach your destination, and the 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium speaker system lets you listen to audio in style, whether you're taking a road trip, traveling to work, or camping by the lake.
