Capability
Under the Ranger's hood is a powerful 270-horsepower turbocharged engine, which pairs perfectly with the go-anywhere terrain management system. If you plan to tow a trailer, this truck is capable of pulling much as 7,500 pounds when equipped with the Trailer Tow Package and offers a 1,905-pound best-in-class payload rating.
With both two-wheel drive and 4x4 models available, there's a powertrain to suit every driver. If you go with a 4x4 model, you'll have 8.9 inches of ground clearance for tackling trails. Opting for the Tremor Off-Road Package can increase the clearance to 9.7 inches while also adding enhancements like heavy-duty Fox shocks and a modified off-road suspension system. You can enjoy your time in nature because Trail Control allows you to set a preferred cruising speed without having to constantly keep your foot on the accelerator while driving off-road.
Interior and Exterior
With multiple cab options, you have your choice between both two-door and four-door designs. If you want to seat as many as five passengers, there's the SuperCrew Cab, which also offers hidden under-seat storage containers for your cargo. An ambient lighting feature, heated front seats, and dual-zone climate control are all available to make every drive more enjoyable.
Outside the vehicle, you'll find a stylish yet rugged exterior that offers 16-, 17-, and 18-inch wheels in a variety of styles. You can also customize the truck's looks with any of the available appearance packages, including the Black Appearance Package with a dark grille and black-painted wheels or the Chrome Appearance Package with its chrome mirror caps, exhaust tip, and tow hooks.
Technology
The Ranger just wouldn't be a Ford truck if it didn't also offer innovative tech features, like FordPass Connect, which puts a Wi-Fi hotspot inside the cabin for Internet connectivity while on the road. The Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go feature is capable of measuring the distance between your vehicle and others on the road while adjusting your preferred cruising speed to maintain this distance.
There's also SYNC 3, a feature that combines hands-free voice command functions with an 8-inch touchscreen, so you can choose how you want to control your music, videos, and phone calls. This system also works seamlessly with the 660-watt first-class B&O sound system, which includes 10 high-clarity speakers.
Safety
The new Ranger adds to your safety with features like Pre-Collision Assist and a Lane-Keeping System, both of which use radar sensors to monitor driving conditions and to let you know if you're approaching other vehicles too quickly or veering into other lanes before signaling.
As a standard feature, the Auto High-Beam Headlamps will make you wonder how you ever did without them, as they can automatically change brightness levels based on traffic and road lighting conditions. The rearview camera and Dynamic Hitch Assist activate as soon as you switch the vehicle from neutral to reverse to make parking jobs and trailer connections easier than ever before.
