Mid-size and mighty, the 2024 Ford Ranger manages to stand out in a vast sea of competition. It looks big and burly, but it’s still small enough to fit into tight spaces and regular garages. Its exhilarating engine options, practicality, and strength make it a truck that’s perfect for accompanying you on all of your adventures.
Powerful Engine Options
There are three available engines for the Ranger. The first is a tough 270-horsepower 2.3-liter EcoBoost I-4 delivering 310 lb-ft of torque. Next up there’s a 2.7-liter V6 EcoBoost producing 315 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Lastly, there’s a 3-liter V6 EcoBoost pumping out an impressive 405 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque.
High Towing and Payload Capacity
How much the Ranger can tow depends on its setup. The engine you choose and whether or not you’re driving a 4×2 or 4×4 car impacts the maximum hauling capacity. However, when properly set up, the toughest Rangers can tow up to 7,500 pounds. You can achieve this with the 2.3-liter engine or the 2.7-liter engine in a 4×4 model. Make sure you get the Trailer Tow Package if you plan on towing heavy loads.
The vehicle’s maximum payload Capacity varies more than its towing capacity. The highest maximum payload capacity is 1,805 pounds, and you need a 4×2 model with the 2.3-liter engine to handle that.
Interior with Modern Technology
Even though this truck exudes old-fashioned ruggedness, there’s still sleek and modern technology on the inside. Every Ranger has a SYNC 4A infotainment system, providing you with access to a wide range of connectivity features such as a Wi-Fi hotspot and smartphone compatibility. This system receives ongoing software updates to keep the system running seamlessly and to ensure it’s updated with new features when they’re available.
The cabin also has USB ports and a 12V powerpoint, allowing you to keep your devices charged while you’re on your adventures.
Pre-Collision Warnings
Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking is standard in the Ford Ranger. This technology has a camera facing the road that can detect when you’re in danger of crashing into a pedestrian or driver. It sends you a visual and audible warning if you’re in danger of colliding with someone, aiming to give you enough time to respond and prevent an accident.
