2025 Ford
Ranger
With bragging rights to the North American Truck of the Year title, the 2025 Ford Ranger has the
versatility to suit a range of needs and uses, from the jobsite to the trail. This model year’s changes
include the introduction of the Black Appearance Package (available on the XLT and Lariat trims), which
adds a blacked-out grille, wheels, bumpers, exterior badging, and accents. Ford has also added some new
exterior paint colors.
For the Ranger’s power source, there are three EcoBoost engines in the
mix: the standard 2.3-liter, the 2.7-liter V6 (available on select trims), and the Raptor-exclusive
3.0-liter V6. The no-nonsense XL focuses on utility with smart storage and practical cargo solutions,
while the XLT receives conveniences such as wireless smartphone charging and extra power outlets. The
plush Lariat prioritizes comfort with a leather interior and premium amenities, including a heated
steering wheel and heated front seats. For drivers looking beyond the pavement, the trail-ready Raptor
boasts locking differentials, an off-road suspension, racing shocks, and drive modes for optimal
handling on dirt, rock, and sand.
Trims, Powertrain, and Performance
The 2025 Ranger has four trim choices – XL, XLT, Lariat, and Raptor – all of which come as a four-door
SuperCrew cab with a 5-foot bed and a fully boxed frame. The standard powertrain on the XL, XLT, and
Lariat pairs a turbocharged 2.3-liter 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine (output: 270 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft.
of torque) with a class-exclusive 10-speed automatic transmission. These three trims get a standard
rear-wheel drivetrain (RWD) and achieve an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. They’re
eligible for a four-wheel-drive (4WD) system with Electronic Shift-On-The-Fly.
A 2.7-liter
EcoBoost V6 making 315 hp and 400 lb.-ft. of torque is available for the XLT and Lariat. It comes with
4WD and returns 19 mpg city/23 mpg highway. The trail-driven Raptor is also 4WD-only but gets Ford’s
3.0-liter EcoBoost V6, boosting the horsepower output to 405 and torque to 430 lb.-ft. It’s rated at 16
mpg city/18 mpg highway.
Most Ranger trims can tow up to 7,500 lb. when equipped with the
optional Trailer Tow Package; the Raptor’s towing limit is 5,510 lb. Payload capacity maxes out at 1,788
