2021 Ford Ranger

This model year's Ford Ranger is offered in one of three trim levels. The XL is already decently equipped, but the Ranger grows more impressive as you move up through the midtier XLT and the top-of-the-line Lariat. The Ranger is available as an extended cab with a 6-foot box or a SuperCrew cab with a 5-foot box.

The new Rangers gives you access to several packages that allow you to customize your truck's appearance. Whether you choose a model with the Black Appearance package, the Sport Appearance package, or any of the others, the Ranger stands out in a crowd. Add LED headlights, tow hooks, power-folding mirrors, and much more to make your Ranger truly yours.

Each 2021 Ranger boasts a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine that punches out 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. This engine is matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

The Ranger's efficient powertrain allows it to reach up to 21 mpg in the city and 26 on the highway.

The Ranger comes standard with a rear-wheel-drive system, but a traction-enhancing four-wheel-drive system is available. Choose a Ranger equipped to haul trailers up to its maximum 7,500-pound capacity. The Ranger also offers a best-in-class 1,860-pound payload capacity. Choose the Tremor Off-Road package to add an array of off-road to your truck, such as tuned front and rear suspensions and off-road shocks. When you have four-wheel drive, you'll also have access to the Terrain Management System that has multiple drive modes that prepare your truck for the terrain and road conditions ahead.

The Ranger seats up to five people with the SuperCrew cab. The SuperCab seats four passengers. The Ranger's list of features is highly customizable through packages. Opt for the 302A package to get power-adjustable front seats with heating. The Lariat upgrades your experience with leather upholstery. The new Ranger also has access to many convenience and entertainment technologies, such as Ford+Alexa compatibility, a mobile Wi-Fi hot spot, and more. Opt for the 10-speaker B&O sound system for a superior listening experience. Choose the available 8-inch touch screen to make your Ranger your personal assistant.

When your adventures take you back onto the busy streets, the 2021 Ford Ranger's intelligent safety systems are there to keep you secure. Each model is equipped with a forward collision mitigation system with automatic emergency braking that helps you stay more aware of and react faster to potential dangers ahead. Choose a model equipped with the Co-Pilot360 package to get access to the blind-spot monitoring system and the lane-keeping assist system. The XLT 301A package includes rear parking sensors, but each model features a reversing camera. Other smart features include automatic high-beams, adaptive cruise control, and forward parking sensors.
