Power and Handling

The base Ranger XL uses a turbocharged 2.3L EcoBoost inline-4 engine to generate an ample 270 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, which get distributed through a 10-speed automatic transmission. In its XLT and Lariat trims, the truck is available with a twin-turbocharged 2.7L EcoBoost V6 that increases performance to 315 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, resulting in a 0-to-60 time of just over six seconds.
Handling on- or off-road is easy and predictable with the help of the Ranger’s independent front suspension and Hotchkiss-type rear suspension. For a supremely comfortable ride and excellent absorption of bumps, outboard-mounted shock absorbers are featured at the rear of the vehicle. In addition to standard all-terrain tires, enthusiasts may opt for traction-enhancing components like a part-time 4×4 system and electronic-locking rear axle.

Towing, Hauling, and Utility

Impressive power and sturdy construction combine on the Ranger to provide you with the ability to tow loads of up to 7,500 pounds when the truck is equipped with the available Trailer Tow Package’s Class IV hitch receiver. The package also comes with a 4-pin/7-pin wiring harness that lets you hook up lights, brake controllers, and other equipment.
With its 43.5 cubic feet of cargo space, the Ranger’s bed is quite sizable and can be fitted with a pickup box extender if you need to transport longer items. Access to the box is made easier with available integrated box side steps.

Passenger Cabin and Amenities

The Ranger comes exclusively as a crew cab and has no problem accommodating five people. An ultra-modern interior design with premium materials and fine attention to detail gives the cabin a deluxe feel. Under the rear seats, you’ll find generous room for personal belongings. While the XL trim gets an 8-inch digital instrument panel and 8-way adjustable driver’s seat, the XLT is available with electronic dual-zone climate control and power front seats.
A truly luxurious ride results from the Lariat’s standard leather upholstery, driver memory system, and ambient lighting. Thanks to the lineup’s standard SYNC 4A infotainment system, offered with a 10- or 12-inch touchscreen, users can take advantage of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. SYNC 4A features intuitive voice recognition technology that lets you do everything from making phone calls to changing the tunes.
