The 2025 Ford Ranger is a great match for anyone who needs a strong truck that delivers a smooth ride. It’s also a fantastic pick for drivers who like choices, as you have three engines to choose from and lots of available packages you can equip.
It’s a Strong Truck for Transporting Cargo
If you have cargo to transport, then pack it into the bed or hitch up a trailer, because this truck is highly capable of transporting heavy loads. The Ranger’s maximum payload capacity varies depending on the model you choose, but its highest payload capacity is 1,788 pounds. To achieve this capacity, you need a 4×2 Crew Cab with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine.
When it comes to trailering, the strongest Rangers can haul up to 7,500 pounds, but this can also vary depending on your truck’s configuration. You need a Crew Cab model with the Trailer Tow Package to achieve the highest towing capacity when driving the Ranger XL, XLT, or LARIAT. The Ranger Raptor has both a lower payload and towing capacity than the other three trims; it’s designed for fantastic off-roading ability rather than brute strength.
It Has Three Excellent Engines Available
The Ranger’s base engine is a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder that produces 270 horsepower, making models with this engine tough enough to tackle hard jobs, such as hauling. If you prefer beefier V6 engines, then consider the 2.7-liter EcoBoost. The V6 isn’t available on the base trim or Raptor. Both of the engines we’ve mentioned are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and they’re available in both 2×4 and 4×4 models.
The third engine option is the Raptor’s standard 3-liter engine that pumps out 405 hp. This model has the same 10-speed automatic transmission as the other trims. All Raptors are 4×4 models with no 4×2 option.
It’s Wonderfully Comfortable
The Ranger has a cabin that’s designed for comfort. The driver’s seat is adjustable in eight directions, and the front passenger seat is 6-way adjustable. Both need to be manually maneuvered. The XLT trim lets you choose either the standard seats or a 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat alongside an 8-way power adjustable front passenger seat. These power-adjustable seats are standard in the top two trims.
It Has a Wealth of Standard and Available Driver Assistance Technology
Every Ranger comes with Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking to make sure you’re always aware of potential collisions. Every trim also has Automatic High Beams. The XLT and up trim have the Ford CO-Pilot360 package, which gives the Ranger more driver assistance features, including Reverse Brake Assist and Blind Spot Assist for a more safety in different driving situations.
