Big-truck capability meets a city-friendly design in the 2025 Ford Ranger. Customizing this compact pickup to your needs is easy thanks to four trim configurations. Read on to learn the unique characteristics of each Ranger model.
Trim Levels of the 2025 Ford Ranger
1. XL
The XL is a very capable entry-level pickup, powered by a 270-horsepower 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine. Constructed around a Built Ford Tough chassis and a boxed high-strength steel frame, this Ranger is ready to handle anything you want to throw at it. Ford also equips its base trim with plenty of desirable exterior features, such as automatic headlights, daytime running lights, a cargo lamp, front tow hooks, and 17-inch silver aluminum wheels.
Inside the spacious cabin, a 10-inch center-stack display acts as the infotainment hub. Drivers enjoy the comfort of an eight-way adjustable bucket seat and can view information clearly on the eight-inch digital instrument cluster. They also receive assistance from a comprehensive collection of safety technologies, including pre-collision assist, a rearview camera, and automatic emergency braking.
2. XLT
Building on the XL, the XLT receives a sporty external makeover from gray elements, including the grille, bumpers, and wheels. Carpets and a vinyl-wrapped steering wheel elevate the plushness of the interior. An upgrade to the assistive tech suite introduces rear parking sensors, lane keeping, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert to cover the Ranger and trailer.
3. Lariat
The Lariat grows in comfort and luxury. LED projector headlights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and 18-inch machined wheels are added to the exterior, while the leather-trimmed interior gains dual-zone climate control and ambient lighting. Both the instrument panel and infotainment touchscreen grow to 12 inches, and the sound system is replaced with a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen setup.
Front passengers now enjoy heated power seats, with the driver’s becoming adjustable in 10 ways. Drivers also receive parking assistance from a 360-degree camera and front sensors.
4. Raptor
With its 4×4 drive system, Watts-Link rear suspension, electronic locking axles, and electronic-locking rear differentials, the Raptor takes off-road capabilities to a whole new level. Ford’s top trim also swaps the engine for a 3.0-liter V6, which increases the output to 405 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
FOX Racing Shocks enhance performance over rough terrain, while heavy-duty bash plates, extra-wide wheel flares, and a frame-mounted front bumper help minimize damage from rocks and debris. Rear tow hooks give you options when trying to extract your pickup from tricky situations. There are also three off-road-focused drive modes to aid your expeditions: Off-Road, Baja, and Rock Crawl.
Whether you prioritize budget over luxury or off-road abilities over premium features, there’s a Ranger to match your needs. To explore the full lineup and find your perfect Ranger, visit Koons Ford Silver Spring in Silver Spring, MD, today.
