Shopping for an adventurous truck that’s efficient, trail-ready, and aggressive? You’ll love the new 2025 Ford Ranger. This spacious pickup truck is versatile, has seating for five passengers, and has impressive towing capacities. Once you test drive it for yourself, you’ll see why it’s become a top choice among drivers looking for a truck that can go the distance.

1. The Versatile and Adventurous Trims 

Drivers looking to enhance their driving experience with a Ford Ranger can choose from four models: the XL, the XLT, the LARIAT, and the RAPTOR. The RAPTOR is the highest trim with the most features and driver amenities. It has 2.5-inch FOX Racing Shox with live valve technology, a 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine with auto start-stop technology, the Advanced Towing Package, locking front and rear axles, and a watts-link rear suspension.

The base model is anything but basic with LED reflector headlamps, 17-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, remote keyless entry, a remote tailgate lock, and a 2.3L EcoBoost engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

2. The Off-Roading Capabilities

If you love off-roading excursions or are looking for a truck that will give you the opportunity to take them, the new Ford Ranger has everything you need for more excitement off the road. The FOX Racing Shox system is designed to accommodate all terrain conditions, automatically adjusting the vehicle suspension as needed. These shocks use patterned live valve technology to ensure the most effortless driving experience.

The Watts-Link suspension gives the Ranger ultimate control off the road, centering the rear axle on the trails. Drivers can add off-roading features like an exposed steel bash plate to their Ranger with the FX4 Off-Road Package. The Trail Control feature allows you to enjoy low-speed and controlled driving off the road. An off-road screen shows your vehicle’s pitch and roll angles on your off-roading experiences.

3. The Vehicle Performance

A new Ford Ranger is available in two powertrains: the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine with 405 hp and 430 pound-feet of torque and the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 engine with 315 hp and 400 pound-feet of torque. It also has impressive towing and hauling capabilities with a max towing capacity of 7,500 pounds. It’s equipped with all the tools to tow heavy loads confidently, including a trailer light check function, a trailer brake controller, and a Pro-Trailer backup assist.
