The 2022 Ford Ranger is here, and it's tougher than ever. Durable on intense terrains and cleverly compact when driving through the city, this truck really can do it all. Here are just a few things we love about the latest version of this classic car.

It's Seriously Powerful

The 2022 Ranger pickup has the highest torque rating in its class, at 310 lb.-ft. Not to mention the 270 horses under the hood – this truck is sure to get the job done. The 2.3L EcoBoost engine is specially designed to deliver maximum responsiveness with minimal lag. The twin-scroll turbocharger has been designed to maximize pulse energy to the turbine wheel. And the 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission features Ford-patented technology that optimizes gear progressions for smooth, quick shifting.

It's Capable Handling for All Terrains

The 2022 Ranger is built for serious off-road travel. Its approach and departure angles help it climb hills and clear obstacles. The 4x4 models also tout 8.9 inches of ground clearance for more capable navigation on uneven terrain, while the Tremor Off-Road Package will get you an even more dazzling 9.7 inches of ground clearance. And for protection while you navigate tough terrain, both these packages include an exposed steel front bash plate.

Now you may not expect this adventure-ready truck to drive well on city roads, but the Ranger is full of surprises. It has responsive and nicely weighted steering, and it's easy to maneuver and park in tight areas. Its taut suspension provides a firm but comfortable ride on most road surfaces while minimizing body lean and sway around turns, plus brakes provide impressive stopping power. So if you're looking for a body-on-frame vehicle that doesn't sacrifice on-road capabilities, this truck might be for you.

Stay off the Road, but on the Grid

Being away from the city doesn't mean you have to sacrifice being connected. The Ranger comes packed with an impressive array of available technologies — from the voice-activated SYNC 3 and FordPass Connect to the outstanding performance of the B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen. Feel safe and secure thanks to the driver-assist features of the Ford Co-Pilot 360, including standard rearview camera and forward collision warning.

Enjoy the All-New Splash Package

If you're looking to make a splash, get ready for the 2022 Ranger's brand new Splash package. It includes orange and black body-side graphics, as well as matte black 18-inch wheels. You'll turn heads with the gloss black bumpers, rearview mirror caps, wheel lip moldings, and fender vents. And the grille with orange nostrils is a nice finishing touch. Whether you're on the job or out on the town, the Ford Ranger Splash is sure to turn heads.

If you're looking for a pickup that can handle anything you throw at it, the all-new Ford Ranger is the clear choice. Off-road, city driving - it's got you covered. To see for yourself, come take one for a test drive at Coughlin Ford Heath in Newark, OH, today.t

It's also paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission as standard, but you can opt for the 10-speed shiftable automatic transmission, which includes manual shift paddles. EcoBoost engines are well-known for their enhanced performance and improved fuel efficiency despite being smaller than regular engines. This is made possible by three technologies: turbocharging, direct-fuel injection, and variable camshaft timing. These technologies increase airflow to the engine for faster and more powerful burning, as well as more precise combustion and valve intake and exhaust operation. more Interior Comfort The Explorer features comfortable seating for six people if you choose second-row captain's chairs or up to seven if you prefer the 35/30/35 split fold-flat bench seat. The front seats are heated, with the driver's seat offering 10-way power adjustment and the front passenger's seat providing 4-way power adjustment. All seats are covered with unique cloth upholstery, but you can upgrade to even softer, luxurious ActiveX material. As the driver, all the essential information you need is displayed on a 12.3" color LCD digital information cluster. Infotainment is controlled via a 13.2" crystal-clear center-stack touchscreen. It's powered by Ford Digital Experience, which gives you access to Google and Amazon apps. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are installed. A complimentary three-month SiriusXM with 360L is included with every Explorer. Cargo Capacity and Trailering As an SUV, good cargo capacity is essential, and the Explorer doesn't disappoint. It has 20.8 cubic feet of space in the trunk, roughly equivalent to six to eight suitcases. If you fold down the third seat row, this increases to 49.8 cubic feet. If you need to carry bigger or more bulky items, folding down the second seat row will give you 84.1 cubic feet of space. The Explorer comes standard with the Ford Class III Trailer Tow Package. This package includes an engine oil cooler, a 4- and 7-pin trailer wiring harness, and a trailer hitch receiver. It also adds a Tow/Haul Mode and additional safety features. These features allow you to easily tow up to 5,000 pounds. There's so much more for you to discover in the 2025 Explorer.

Its big-truck strength and durability make tough jobs feel effortless, while its tastefully crafted cabin proves hard work and refined comfort can coexist.

The final boss, a ferocious 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with a whopping 405 HP and 430 pound-feet of torque, is reserved for the off-road performance machine that is the Ranger Raptor. more Smooth and Confident on Any Terrain Thanks to its nimble midsize proportions, the Ranger delivers the effortless drive you crave when handling cumbersome full-size pickups.

For starters, a fully-boxed high-strength steel frame, protective underbody skid plates, over 10 inches of ground clearance, and up to 33-inch all-terrain tires let you tackle punishing trails without incurring damage. Meanwhile, several advanced 4x4 systems come in clutch when you need maximum composure and control. The Watts-Link off-road suspension with FOX Live Valve shocks continuously adjusts damping to smooth out bumps and ruts with finesse, ensuring the Ranger remains composed and comfortable even when hammering through rocky terrain. At the same time, an advanced four-wheel-drive system with a two-speed transfer case, front and rear locking axles, and terrain-specific drive modes ensures unyielding traction and confident control when traversing slippery surfaces. Spacious and Upmarket Cabin The Ranger comes with a masterfully crafted interior to ensure a serene, comforting environment for you and your crew.
