If your work or lifestyle demands a crew cab pickup and you refuse to compromise on quality, it's time to take a look at the 2025 Ford Ranger.

The Muscle to Get the Job Done

The 2025 Ranger is equipped with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine that makes plenty of power. That makes it an excellent choice for hauling heavy loads and pushing past almost any obstacle in its path. But those who dare to upgrade are rewarded. A 2.7-liter option offers 315 horsepower, while those who choose the Ranger Raptor receive a 3.0-liter engine offering 405 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque for even more power.

Crew Comfort

With a standard crew cab configuration, the Ranger is roomy enough to have even the tallest crew members ride comfortably in the back seat. Of course, the back seat can fold flat for times when the job requires more gear than people. Ford also makes opening the rear window as easy as pressing a button on the overhead console, offering the perfect amount of breeze with the perfect amount of ease.

Tows Smarter and Harder

They say you should work smarter instead of harder, but when heavy jobs need doing, sometimes it's got to be both. The 2025 Ranger is built on a high-strength steel frame and uses a solid rear axle. The result? It offers up to 7,500 pounds of towing capability when properly equipped, making it the perfect hauler for gear and supplies on weekdays and boats and campers come the weekend.

It's also configurable with smart towing tech to make trailering easier than ever. A standard Trailer Light Check function automatically runs a sequence to ensure all trailer lights are working properly. The available Pro-trailer Back Up Assist shifts steering wheel control to let drivers back up with just the turn of a dial. The available Trailer Brake Controller also helps slow down the trailer by engaging its brakes.

Adventure-Ready Design

The legendary power of 4x4 is available on the Ranger, and up to seven drive modes help tune its performance to the substrate at hand. The available FX4 package includes a low-speed cruise control called Trail Control, along with outboard-mounted off-road shocks to absorb the jostles. The Ranger Raptor comes standard with FOX Racing Shox and a Watts-Link rear suspension for even better performance.

Takes Tech to the Campsite

The available in-bed 120V/400W power outlet is perfect for powering campsite amenities. The available zone lighting helps light up the night, making it easier than ever to pitch camp after dark. The available 5G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability offers the ability to keep connected, while the subscription-enabled Connected Navigation offers steady navigation even without cell coverage.
