Crowned the North American Truck of the Year for its performance, innovation, safety, and design, the 2025 Ford Ranger remains the best pick for midsize pickup buyers. Its big-truck strength and durability make tough jobs feel effortless, while its tastefully crafted cabin proves hard work and refined comfort can coexist.
Robust Power
The Ranger is game for any challenge with its trio of high-output engines. Kickstarting the lineup is the 2.3-liter turbo-four that delivers a nice balance of power and efficiency. It generates 270 HP and 310 pound-feet of torque, allowing you to enjoy the maximum 7,500-pound towing capacity and near 1,800-pound payload rating, without upgrading to a bigger engine. It also boasts the best fuel economy in the lineup, achieving 26 MPG on the highway, making it perfect for almost everyone.
The next level of power is a brawny 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6, with up to 315 HP and 400 pound-feet of torque. And while it still does the same payload and towing numbers as the turbo-four, it does so with greater ease, making every load feel lighter and every climb smoother. 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.
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. It’s also engineered to ensure that work gets done regardless of the terrain, coming with an arsenal of next-level off-road features, especially in its Raptor trim. 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 4×4 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. The roomy interior accommodates five adults comfortably and pampers them with a wealth of upscale niceties, which can include heated seats, premium leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, an in-vehicle safe, a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless charging, and more!
