About the Ford Ranger
Built on over 100 years of relentless innovation, the Ford Ranger takes aim at the top spot among the midsize pickup truck class. Engineered to meet the needs of a fresh breed of truck buyers, the Ranger stands out with its standard SuperCrew Cab configuration and three individual engine options available across four distinctive trim levels. Delivering plenty of muscle to cross the toughest tasks off of your to-do list, the Ranger comes standard with a proven 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine paired with a responsive 10-speed automatic transmission. Drivers also have the option to upgrade to a more robust 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 or a race-inspired 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6. Built to excel at both work and play, the purposeful interior of the Ranger has all the premium amenities you need to feel comfortable even if you’re miles from paved roads. Constructed with the same high-strength construction and durable components as the legendary F-150, the Ford Ranger is ready to take on any competitor in the midsize pickup segment.
What the Critics Say
“The Ranger is a tough customer when you need it to be and a smooth operator when it matters most. Its engine offers refined power delivery while providing the muscular towing and payload capabilities that make trucks a must-have for some buyers.” - Car & Driver
“The Ranger has all the right parts and pieces to be a strong pickup truck: Tow/Haul mode, huge real-world payload capacity, it tows like a champ (not an easy thing at this size), and is easy to maintain.” – Motor Trend
What’s New for 2024
Setting the new standard for the midsize pickup truck segment, the Ford Ranger has undergone an extensive refresh both inside and out for the 2024 model year. Its redesigned exterior look is more sophisticated and aligned with the F-Series truck family. Now available exclusively in SuperCrew cab configurations, buyers can choose from three individual engines and four trim levels highlighted by an all-new Ranger Raptor model. Highlights of its reimagined interior include new digital touchscreen display and instrument clusters, more premium materials, and a variety of new cutting-edge tech features.
Ford Ranger Features
Sleek Styling
Immediately identifiable as a Ford truck, the Ranger boasts a sophisticated exterior look that’s made possible by bold proportions and rugged accents. Striking features of the exterior include its high beltline, steeply raked windshield, and upright grille. Perfect for tackling obstacles off-road, the short front overhang and impressive ground clearance of the Ranger help it excel on the trails. The “Ranger” nameplate is proudly embossed into the high-strength steel tailgate which also features an available integrated trailer hitch. For an even more striking appearance, the available FX4 Off-Road Package offers FX4 exterior badging, frame-mounted skid plates, and a frame-mounted heavy-gauge steel front bash plate.
Proven Performance
Under the hood of the Ford Ranger lies a standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost 16-valve engine that features direct fuel injection and a twin-scroll turbocharger. This proven powertrain features enhanced durability made possible by its chain-driven dual overhead cams along with forged steel connecting rods. It also comes paired to a class-exclusive 10-speed automatic transmission for greater response and efficiency. A more muscular 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 is also available along with the purpose-built 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6 found on the Ranger Raptor. Choose the optional FX4 Off-Road Package to receive all-terrain tires, off-road-tuned shocks, and the innovative Ford Trail Control™ which debuted on the F-150 Raptor. This advanced system includes five individual drive modes to help you adapt to the terrain. Intended for low-speed travel on harsh terrain, available Trail Control can manage acceleration and braking for maximum confidence in tricky situations.
Technology & Safety
Designed to help you stay connected more than ever before, the Ford Ranger offers a wide range of advanced tech features including SYNC® 4A featuring Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™ smartphone integration, available 12-inch touchscreen display, and a digital instrument panel. There’s also a standard FordPass™ Connect 4G LTE modem which lets you access Wi-Fi connectivity on up to 10 devices. An optional Bang & Olufsen premium audio system provides the perfect soundtrack for your next trip inside the Ranger.
Every Ford Ranger features standard Automatic Emergency Braking, giving you a helping hand when you need it most. Other available safety technologies include Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning, and a Reverse Sensing System.
