A red 2023 Ford Ranger.

For a mid-size pickup with some serious grunt, the 2023 Ford Ranger is an unbeatable option. It’s a powerful little number that boasts plenty of muscle and off-roading abilities, plus it gives drivers the freedom to customize through bed lengths and cab sizes. This year, Ford has made available three trim levels of the Ranger. Want to figure out which one is right for you and your lifestyle? Read on.

2023 Ford Ranger

There are three trims available with the Ranger: the XL, the XLT, and the Lariat. Within these trims, you can configure the vehicle with two box lengths, different cab setups, and an optional four-wheel drive. The XL offers eight exterior colors to choose from, while the XLT and Lariat offer nine. Every trim comes with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine that manages 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. This pairs with a smooth ten-speed automatic transmission.

Which trim is right for you depends on what you’re hoping to get from your pickup. The base-level XL, when paired with the extended cab, makes for the lightest drive in the lineup while still mustering outstanding performance. The XTL is an excellent option for those who want plenty of tech and driver assistance without the full gambit of features. The Lariat affords the driver a cabin full of comforts as well as access to more work and performance packages.

Customize Your Cabin

The SuperCab and SuperCrew models are two unique cabin arrangements; the former seats up to four, while the latter seats up to five and is generally roomier. Both are comfortable, and the touches of upscale materials enhance a simple, practical interior. The XL keeps things straightforward with some connectivity features and an available touchscreen, which comes standard with the XTL and Lariat. SiriusXM, remote keyless entry, and automatic climate are standard on higher trims.

Performance Packages to Suit Your Needs

You’ll be happy to hear that many of the Ranger’s performance packages are available regardless of trim level. For example, the ferocious FX4 Package comes stacked with features like all-terrain tires, a steel bash plate, and multiple off-road drive modes, and is available with every trim so long as you’ve got four-wheel drive. Only the Tremor Package, which has some additional off-roading assets, is limited to the XTL and Lariat.

No matter what your price point or your specific needs for your pickup, this year’s Ranger has you covered. It’s rare to see a vehicle that can provide so much quality from the base level up to the highest trims, but the Ranger does so and leaves plenty of room for customization.
