Ford’s Ranger mid-size pickup has earned a reputation for toughness, efficiency, and practicality, making it one of America’s favorite trucks for the last several decades. The 2025 Ford Ranger is loaded with desirable features in a rugged, reliable package built tough to take on every task with ease.
Meet the 2025 Ford Ranger: Built Tough for Every Task
Powerful, Reliable Engine Options
The powertrain is at the heart of any truck, and the Ranger is ready for any task with two equally dependable, powerful engine options. The engine in the base trim XL is the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbo 4-cylinder, which produces 270 horsepower and 310 foot-pounds of torque. The Lariat and XLT trims offer an optional 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 that generates 315 horsepower and 410 foot-pounds of torque. Both engines are paired with a 10-speed transmission.
Awesome Off-Road Versatility
While the Ranger’s engine options produce plenty of power, it is also available with 4WD, which makes it a reliable performer on the pavement and off the beaten path. Though RWD is standard, 4WD is an option on the XL, XLT, and Lariat trims. Its 4WD capabilities are enhanced with Electronic Shift on the Fly, an optional Electronic-Locking Rear Differential, 9.3 inches of ground clearance, and 17-inch aluminum wheels with all-terrain tires.
Impressive Towing Capability
With plenty of power and torque, the Ranger adeptly moves cargo and gear in its 5.5-foot payload bed or a tow-behind trailer. With a fully boxed high-strength steel frame and 43.5 cubic feet of space in the cargo bed, the Ranger can carry up to 1729 pounds of payload. It also comes with standard towing features like integrated towing provisions and Trailer Sway Control, and it has a towing capacity of up to 7500 pounds.
Comfortable Convenience for Long Hauls
Though the Ranger is built tough to take on any job, it still has some of the comfort and convenience features drivers have come to expect in a well-appointed mid-size truck. They include an 8-inch Digital Instrument Cluster, black vinyl or carpet floor covering, cruise control, intermittent wipers, power door locks and windows, a manual tilt/ telescoping steering wheel, a 10-inch color touchscreen, a 6-speaker sound system, and Sync 4A software.
Super Safety Features
The Ranger is loaded with features that ensure drivers and passengers arrive safely in style. Safety features that come standard on the Ranger include AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, front and side curtain airbags, Curve Control, four-wheel anti-lock brakes, an SOS Post-Crash Alert System, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, and automatic high beams.
