New Ford Ranger Review -- Midsize Truck Gets A Big Upgrade
As the leading truck maker, Ford likes to make every model count. This is especially true for the new Ford Ranger. It gets more engine choices, a Raptor edition, and the latest cutting edge technologies as part of its new generation.
Few midsize trucks can offer the level of capability as this pickup, and even fewer can offer the number of cutting-edge technologies that Ford has developed. Let’s take a look and see if this ride is right for you.
Performance
Whether for work, commuting or off-roading, you want a dependable, powerful truck, but also one that is fun to drive. New Ford Rangers are more dynamic than ever with a new 2.7-liter Ecoboost V6. It kicks out 315 horsepower and a V8-worthy 400 lb-ft of torque.
Still the best choice for the money for this midsize truck or any rival, the Ecoboost four-cylinder engine generates 310 lb-ft of torque. This 270-horsepower engine was updated for the new generation to work even smarter. This midsize pickup tows as much as some full size trucks, and yet it fits into a more urban lifestyle.
For the maximum excitement, the Ranger Raptor provides a higher output Ecoboost V6. Drivers command 405 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. Of course, these Raptors are the most advanced in terms of off-road capability with lots of tools and toys.
Capability
Good design isn’t just about a sporty appearance. It’s also tied to better performance. The dynamic twin power dome hood plays host to the most dynamic engine in its class. The Ranger delivers an impressive 7,500-pound tow rating and a best-in-class maximum payload rating.
The new Ford Ranger is more than up to the challenge of taking on your toughest test, even our Arizona desert climate. After all, the midsize pickup has been tested under conditions more extreme than you would ever likely encounter: durability trials on roads so punishing that robots had to do the driving, days of constant shaking in the lab to identify and reduce squeaks and rattles, and hours towing heavy loads up and down steep grades in the worst desert conditions.
Interior Trim Levels
What you see is what you’ll enjoy. And when you see the interior of the Ford Ranger, you will love it. The spacious Ranger SuperCrew grew bigger in 2024. More space is always welcome, especially if you are in the back row.
There are many configurations and trim levels. The Ranger XL packs on many of life's necessities. XLT models add more amenities like dual-zone climate control and an 8-way driver's seat. Ranger Lariats are clad in leather without demanding a luxury price. The new Ranger Raptor exudes confidence with a more athletic exterior and sportier interior.
Technology
An impressive array of standard and available technologies are tools and toys for the daily driver. Easy to use, the dash entertainment system includes voice-activated technology with a large touchscreen. This user-friendly interface helps you connect to your smartphone while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto add favorite apps right to the screen.
The available B&O Sound System by Bang and Olufsen makes your music sound its best. Ford Pass Connect, a rearview camera, and automatic high beams make life easier. Learn more about today’s cutting edge dash technology in this extended review.
Safety
Ford Co-Pilot 360™stocks the new Ranger with driver-assist technologies to help you navigate crowded roads and highways with confidence. Let’s say you’re towing a boat on a weekend getaway in holiday traffic on the freeway and you need to change lanes. BLIS® with class-exclusive trailer coverage alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot or alongside the trailer.
A Lane-Keeping System greatly reduces side collision dangers. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking reduces the chances of hitting the vehicle ahead. Cross-Traffic Alert detects traffic behind you when slowly backing up.
With more driver aids, the Ranger is even more of a pleasure to drive. Find out when you schedule a test drive.
