2022 Ford Ranger review

1. Playful limited editions

First and foremost a serious vehicle, the 2022 Ranger also has a big personality. Exuding a playful 1990s vibe, the Ranger Splash^™ appearance package and three limited-release Splash models add stylish accents and fun decals to the Ranger's robust silhouette.

Exclusive to five-seat SuperCrew^® models, the available Splash package adds slick black and orange graphics, matte-black wheels, and an orange-hued stitching finish inside. The XLT trim Splash Limited Edition models all feature exclusive exterior colorways (Avalanche, Forged Green, Desert Sand).

2. Tremor off-road package

Not all trucks venture off-road, but if yours definitely will, the available Tremor^® package will boost your confidence over challenging terrain. Exclusive to XLT and Lariat trims equipped with the SuperCrew body and 4WD, the addition of protective skid plates, off-road-tuned FOX^® shocks, and a modified suspension allows you to stick to your outdoor work schedule no matter the location. For contractors and support teams, the Tremor package also adds recovery hooks and auxiliary power switches, ensuring remote environments are no barrier to getting the job done.

3. Supremely comfortable seating

The 2022 Ranger offers enough body-style options and passenger comforts to perform well as an off-duty vehicle too. For occasional journeys with colleagues or regular ones with your young family, choose the more compact four-seat SuperCab^™ Ranger. For regular trips with adult passengers, the larger SuperCrew model offers 34.5 inches of rear-row legroom. If you regularly experience long days behind the wheel, the Ranger's front-row seats are supportive and spacious, with an eight-way adjustable driver seat and 55.8 inches of hip room.

4. Power-packed turbo engine

All models feature a turbocharged 2.3L four-cylinder engine, good for 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. Your needs will dictate whether you opt for the rear-wheel or four-wheel drive. When you're looking to haul equipment with the Ranger, this engine set-up has an estimated towing capacity of 7,500 lbs when properly equipped.

5. Plenty of useful packages

The 2022 Ranger offers three trims and numerous package options, allowing you to decide where to spend, where to save, and which features are non-negotiable. If you like to keep it simple but need to be on the move and always contactable, opt for the base XL trim with the optional 101A package. It adds cruise control and Ford's SYNC^® 3 system for smartphone connectivity and hands-free calling. If your regular driving schedule includes appointments at different homes or businesses, you'll benefit from built-in navigation. Access it via the XLT trim's optional Technology package or the top-trim Lariat's 501A package.
