Having the right amount of power is only part of what the Ford Ranger brings to the table. Its optional 4x4 drivetrain is engineered for challenging terrain, such as rocky inclines or muddy paths, adding unparalleled confidence to every commute.
Tow, Tow, Tow Your Boat
Some of the best memories are made out on the water or huddled around a campfire. With a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 pounds, the Ford Ranger is more than capable of hauling recreational toys. To help simplify the towing experience, the Ranger can be optionally outfitted with these technologies:
- Pro Trailer Backup Assist™: Makes hooking up a trailer easy. Simply turn a knob in the direction you want to go.
- BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert: Monitors the extended area of the attached trailer to assist with lane changes.
The Tow/Haul Drive Mode is another feature that adds confidence when towing. When selected, this feature optimizes shift points to help maximize power and efficiency.
ENDURANCE
It takes confidence to leave the known behind. The Ford Ranger enhances confidence across every mile, thanks to its off-roading features and long-term reliability.
Go the Extra Mile & Then Some
Looking to venture far beyond the paved path? The Ford Ranger features several off-roading capabilities to help you tame the wild unknown. The Ford Ranger includes up to seven selectable drive modes, each tailored to different conditions. Rock Crawl keeps the transmission in lower gears to help with low-speed crawling, while Baja sharpens throttle response and maximizes stability.
The available FX4 Off-Road Package includes off-roading essentials, such as:
- Ford Trail Control™: Controls braking and acceleration, allowing you to focus on maneuvering around obstacles at low speeds.
- Off-Road Tuned Shocks: Optimizes stability and control, ensuring even the bumpiest roads feel smooth.
- Off-Road Screen: Displays essential off-roading data on the central touch screen, such as pitch angle.
Are you ready to get out and explore? The Ford Ranger is!
Built for the Long Haul
Within your versatile life, you need a pickup truck that’s capable of doing it all. With a comfortable interior and engine strength to help you maintain your forward momentum, the Ford Ranger is designed to excel in every environment.
The available ActiveX™ front seats provide the long-term reliability you seek. This synthetic leather upholstery is designed to look just as sophisticated as genuine leather but offers many advantages not found with the real material, including:
- No animal materials
- More durable than genuine leather
- Easy to clean and maintain
As a result, you can climb in and out of your truck knowing the upholstery is designed for more than daily wear and tear. And when you’re looking to unwind, available heated front seats offer a well-deserved reprieve from your daily grind.
CAPABLE
While spending time outdoors and exploring untamed areas is a significant part of your lifestyle, your next truck must be built with your daily commute in mind. From connective features to LED lighting that keeps work flowing after dark, the Ford Ranger has everything you need.
Essentials Built In
Whether you’re headed to a tailgate or enjoying an unplugged weekend, modern life has many demands. Fortunately, the masterminds behind the Ford Ranger took these features into account when they added components such as LED bed lighting. This optional feature helps keep you working long after the sun sets, ensuring you can keep working until the task is completed.
Other available essentials include:
- Pro Power Onboard™: Turns your truck into a mobile generator, powering small tools or appliances.
- Wireless phone charger: Keeps devices fully charged, even when you’re far from home.
- Six upfitter switches: Makes it easy to add aftermarket parts, like additional lighting features.
An optional integrated box side step may seem like a minor feature, but it has a major impact on how you load and unload materials. Rather than needing to lower the tailgate, this side step lets you reach into the truck’s bed to grab items quickly.
No Out-of-Office Message Needed
It’s normal to feel a sense of freedom when you drive the Ford Ranger, especially when you factor in its advanced connectivity capabilities. SYNC® 4A helps keep you connected to friends, family, and co-workers, even when you’re countless miles from home. Noteworthy features include:
- Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ integration
- Enhanced Voice Recognition
- Connected Navigation
All digital features are easy to navigate using the optional 12-inch touchscreen display. Plus, a built-in 4G Modem with Wi-Fi® hotspot capabilities lets you respond to emails from nearly anywhere.
Ford Ranger vs. The Competition
There are many reasons to choose the Ford Ranger or the Chevy Colorado for your next adventure. Each truck is powerful enough to conquer your daily commute and features an off-roading trim for true adventurers. Despite these similarities, it’s the Ranger that offers more of the diverse features you need.
