About the Ford Ranger

Built upon more than 100 years of innovation, the Ford Ranger shows what generations of engineers can do for an American truck built to give its drivers freedom and independence. Created for the next generation of adventurous truck buyers, the Ford Ranger gives drivers a standard SuperCrew Cab configuration and three individual engine options available across four individual trim levels. Powerful performance comes from a standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine paired with a class-exclusive 10-speed automatic transmission for an ideal balance between efficiency and capability. A more muscular 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 or a race-tuned 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6 are also available for those who crave more power.

Take a seat behind the wheel and discover an ergonomic interior that's designed for work, play, or a mix of both. Providing support when you need it most, it comes standard with a collection of advanced driver-assistive safety technologies. Available tech features found inside the cabin include an integrated navigation system available 12-inch touchscreen display, and SYNC® 4A featuring Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Using the same durable construction as well as high-strength components found on the legendary F-150, this midsize pickup can surely challenge any rival in its class.

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 and Driver

"The Ranger has a tough, rugged appearance, with traditional truck proportions. It looks ready for action, be it a dirty adventure or a hauling task. It is relatively easy to get into, and most adults won't need the optional running boards. Its modest scale makes it easier to maneuver and park than a full-sized truck, which makes it well-suited for running errands." -- Consumer Reports


What's New for 2024

2024 marks the debut of an entirely redesigned Ford Ranger, helping it challenge its most established rivals within the midsize pickup truck class. You’ll immediately recognize the 2024 Ranger by its updated exterior styling featuring a more rugged look than its predecessor. Although SuperCrew is now the sole cab configuration, shoppers can choose from three individual engines across four unique trim levels including the all-new Ranger Raptor off-road variant. Enhancements to the interior of the Ranger are highlighted by new digital instrument clusters and touchscreen displays, improved materials, and an array of innovative technology features.


Ford Ranger Features

Ford Ranger Styling

Bold Styling

Immediately recognizable as a Ford truck, the Ranger exhibits styling that touts both its confidence and toughness. A high beltline, steeply-raked windshield, and an upright grille each emphasize strength while adding to impressive aerodynamics. The Ranger has fully-functional short overhangs for outstanding ground clearance when tackling rough off-road obstacles. A rear nameplate proudly embossed into the tailgate near its rear bumper is constructed with steel along with an available integrated trailer hitch. For a bolder look, the optional FX4 Off-Road Package includes a frame-mounted heavy-gauge steel front bash plate, frame-mounted skid plates, and FX4 badging.

Ford Ranger Performance

Perfected Performance

Under the confident twin-power dome hood of the Ranger lies a standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine that features direct fuel injection, a twin-scroll turbocharger, and 16-valve design. Forged steel connecting rods with chain-driven dual overhead cams give this potent workhorse even greater durability. It also comes paired to a class-exclusive 10-speed automatic transmission for unrivaled response in addition to fuel economy. A more muscular 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 is also available along with the precision-tuned 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6 found on the Ranger Raptor.

Take the capabilities of your Ranger to new heights when you add an optional FX4 Off-Road Package featuring off-road-tuned shocks, all-terrain tires, and an innovative Ford Trail Control™ similar to the F-150 Raptor. This system offers five unique drive modes - Normal, Tow/Haul, Slippery, Eco, and Sport. Engineered for low-speed, rough terrain - available Trail Control takes over acceleration and braking for better poise as well as stability in challenging situations.

Ford Ranger Technology

Technology & Safety

More cutting-edge than ever before, the Ford Ranger is available with useful tech features such as SYNC® 4A featuring Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™ smartphone integration available 12-inch touchscreen display, and optional navigation. You'll even have the option to access Wi-Fi for up to 10 devices using the standard FordPass™ Connect 4G LTE modem. Hear your favorite music with exceptional clarity as well as depth through an available Bang & Olufsen premium audio system, tuned specifically for this pickup's interior.

Safety remains a top priority on the Ranger with standard Automatic Emergency Braking on top of optional features such as Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning, and a Reverse Sensing System. A class-exclusive Blind Spot Information System with trailer coverage works as a standard feature on XLT and Lariat trim levels. Pedestrian Detection and Adaptive Cruise Control are also found on the Ranger Lariat
