1. It Has Great Engine Choices

The Ranger comes standard with a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 270 hp. In the XLT and Lariat, you can replace the base engine with a 2.7-liter V6 that produces 315 hp if you’d like something a little more powerful. The Raptor comes with a 3-liter V6 engine that produces a huge 405 hp. All three engines are EcoBoost models and are paired with a 10-speed transmission.


2. It Has Competitive Strength

If you’re looking for one of the toughest midsize trucks on the market, then the Ranger is an excellent choice. Most of the Ranger models have a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 pounds, while the Raptor can haul up to 5,510 pounds. If you want to make sure you get a Ranger with the 7,500-pound capacity, then get a Crew Cab model with the available trailer tow package.

You’ll also need a Crew Cab model to make the most of the truck’s maximum payload capacity of 1,788 pounds. The model you pick should also be a 4×2 boasting the 2.3-liter engine. The exact payload capacity of the other models varies depending on the truck’s configuration.


3. It Has Ford Co-Pilot360 Available

Ford Co-Pilot360 is a package that’s standard in the XLT, Lariat, and Raptor. It equips the vehicle with reverse brake assist, blind spot assist, cross-traffic alert, and a lane-keeping system. The base trim has pre-collision assist, automatic emergency braking, and automatic high beams, and these features remain standard in the rest of the trims.

You can add even more driver assistance technology to your Ranger if you get the optional technology package for the XLT. This adds a 360-degree camera system, front parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control. Those three features are standard without adding an extra package in the Lariat and Raptor trims.


4. It Has Smart Infotainment Features

The first two Ranger trims have a 10-inch center stack infotainment display, and the other two trims have a 12-inch display. SYNC 4A technology is standard on every screen, and in the XLT and up, a year-long trial of connected navigation is standard. All trims have a Wi-Fi hotspot functionality, and you can also connect your smartphone to the infotainment system to access a wide range of extra features, including hands-free calling and texting.
