This is a pickup that's built with ruggedness in mind. So whether you're accumulating miles on your daily commute or trekking through the wilderness, the 2021 Ford Ranger is ready for it all. The available FX4™ off-road package adds a steel bash plate and additional skid plates, meaning even rocky terrain won't stop you. Base models come with robust double-wishbone front suspension to help optimize ride and handling over rough surfaces.
If you want to tow a boat or camper for a weekend away, the Ford Ranger is a good choice. While it might not be as powerful as some full-size pickups, you'll appreciate the towing power in a smaller package. The 270-hp 2.3L Ecoboost® engine can tow up to an estimated 7,500 lbs when properly equipped.
The versatility of this truck is where it shines. The smaller footprint makes it more practical for suburban living but you won't miss out on the practicality of a pickup. You might travel to the work site during the week or visit clients' houses, but come the weekend, you can load up ready for a camping trip with your family or a ski trip with your buddies.
The 2021 Ford Ranger comes standard with Ford's SYNC® 3 infotainment system that includes voice commands, smartphone integration, and more. If you're off on an adventure, the available 4G hotspot also allows you to stay connected, even when you're away from the city.
The three trim levels of the 2021 Ford Ranger ensure you can find the one that suits you. The XL is the base model and is best suited to anyone looking for a capable car—but it's far from basic and the optional packages add creature comforts such as cruise control, rear privacy glass, and more. Step up to the mid-trim XLT for a wealth of tech features as standard, as well as access to additional equipment packages. At the top of the list is the luxurious Lariat with its standard ambient lighting, universal garage door opener, and heated leather front seats.
