The 2025 Ford Ranger has competitive payload and towing capacities, making it the truck to beat for anybody wanting something capable as well as comfortable and stylish. This smooth-riding mid-sized truck has a wide variety of features that’ll appeal to many people with different needs.
1. It Drives Well
Although the Ranger is a strong, tough truck, it still delivers a smooth ride. It accelerates quickly, reaching 60 mph in 5.6 seconds when equipped with the optional V6 engine. When there’s a four-cylinder engine under the hood, the truck can reach 60 mph in 6.2 seconds. It feels stable on the road, too, making it easy to drive.
2. It Tows Tremendously
Towing doesn’t make the Ranger break a sweat. With a competitive maximum towing capacity of 7,500 pounds, this truck is ready for tough jobs, like hauling heavy equipment or recreational gear. To reach this towing capacity, make sure you’re driving a LARIAT, XL, or XLT with a Crew Cab and the Trailer Tow Package. If you’re interested in the Ranger Raptor, note that its maximum towing capacity is 5,510 pounds.
3. It Transports Goods Easily
The Ranger’s maximum payload capacity differs between configurations of the truck. If you’ve got a 2×4 Ranger with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine and Crew Cab, then you can tow up to 1788 pounds. That also makes the truck competitive, helping it stand out in its segment.
4. It Keeps You Connected
Whether you’re at work or play, you can stay connected to the outside world via the SYNC 4A infotainment system and your smartphone. When paired together, you can access smartphone features through the infotainment system using your voice. That lets you access your smartphone’s essential functions of calling and texting while you drive. The vehicle also has built-in Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity that lets you and your passengers go online.
Staying connected isn’t the only thing this infotainment system lets you do. You can also listen to the radio, stream music from different apps, and stream other forms of media via apps installed on your smartphone. You can also access navigation software to make it easier to get wherever you’re going.
5. It Lets You Stay Comfortable
You can easily remain comfortable on long journeys in the Ranger, as you can adjust your seat in many directions to find a custom seat position. The driver gets either an 8-way or 10-way power adjustable seat, depending on which trim you’ve got. The front passenger is also taken care of, as the standard seat can be adjusted manually in 6 directions, and an 8-way power-adjustable seat is available.
