What are the Ranger's Towing Features?

The Ford Ranger is built to make towing feel a whole lot easier and more confident! When properly equipped with the available Trailer Tow Package, the Ranger can tow up to 7,500 pounds and carry up to 1,788 pounds of payload. It's packed with smart features too, like the available Trailer Brake Controller to help slow things down smoothly, and Pro-Trailer Backup Assist that lets you back up like a pro with up to 10 trailers stored in the system. There's even a Tow/Haul Mode to help with engine braking when you're going downhill, and a Trailer Light Check function so you can make sure everything's good to go before hitting the road. All in all, the Ranger is ready to tow with confidence.

What Powertrain Options Does the Ford Ranger Offer?

The Ford Ranger gives you a few different ways to power your adventures, depending on how much muscle you want under the hood. The standard 2.3L EcoBoost engine delivers a solid 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, striking a great balance between strength and efficiency. If you're looking for a bit more punch, the available 2.7L EcoBoost V6 ups the ante with 315 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, perfect for drivers who want more zip in their daily drive or weekend getaways. And if you're all about maximum performance, the Ranger Raptor brings the heat with a standard 3.0L EcoBoost V6, cranking out 405 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. No matter which engine you go with, the Ranger is built to get you where you're going with power to spare.

Does the Ranger Have Any Off-Road Features?

The Ford Ranger is more than ready to take on rugged trails and off-the-beaten-path adventures, thanks to a suite of impressive off-road features. For starters, the available FX4 Off-Road Package brings essentials like off-road tuned shocks, an electronic-locking rear differential, and a tough steel bash plate. If you're looking for a smoother ride over rough ground, the Ranger's FOX Racing Shocks automatically adjust to terrain changes in real time. Meanwhile, the Watts-Link suspension system helps keep the rear axle centered for better control and stability. For even more off-road confidence, Trail Control acts like off-road cruise control, managing your speed so you can focus on steering, even in reverse. The Ranger even has an Off-Road Screen that shows your pitch and roll angles, helping you navigate tricky terrain with precision.
