2025 Ford Ranger
The Ford Ranger is the versatile and powerful pickup truck that Ford completely renewed last year. For 2025, although it presents few changes, it continues to offer an inspiring drive, exceptional off-road capabilities, and spectacular power thanks to a more muscular Raptor version.
Powertrain
The 2025 Ford Ranger offers a range of powertrains to suit its various personalities. The base version is equipped with a 2.3L EcoBoost engine generating 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, ideal for daily use. The higher version features a 2.7L EcoBoost V6 delivering 315 horsepower, while the most extreme version, the Ford Ranger Raptor, is powered by a powerful 3.0L V6 EcoBoost producing 405 horsepower. All powertrains are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, ensuring performance that matches the demands of each engine.
A work tool
Although smaller than its big brother, the F-150, the Ford Ranger is also a work tool with surprising capabilities. Built on a high-strength steel frame, the 2025 Ranger supports a maximum payload of 850 kg. In terms of towing, it can also offer an impressive total of 7,500 pounds (3,400 kg). Those who are concerned about towing can rest assured; the truck offers the Pro Trailer Backup Assist system, which simplifies maneuvers with confidence, even for less experienced drivers.
Technology
Like all Ford vehicles, the 2025 Ranger relies on advanced technology packages to enhance comfort and performance. Among them, the SYNC 4 infotainment system is controlled and displayed via a 12-inch touchscreen and is fully compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also features FordPass connectivity, allowing remote access via an app on your smartphone that can be used to start or lock the vehicle. The customizable digital dashboard and over-the-air software updates are also noteworthy features.
Safety
Safety is a priority on the 2025 Ford Ranger thanks to the Ford Co-Pilot360 system, which includes collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. The Raptor model adds specific elements for off-roading, such as Fox Live Valve shocks and a Watts-Link suspension for increased stability on difficult terrains. The truck also features a four-wheel-drive system that can be activated on the fly when conditions become more challenging.
