The highly anticipated 2025 Ford Ranger is here, and better than ever. This iconic midsize pickup truck brings a host of updates and features that make it a standout in the crowded truck market. It delivers robust towing and payload capabilities, a premium cabin, and a composed ride quality.
1. Power
The new Ranger is engineered to perform. The base engine is a 2.3-liter inline-4 that pairs with an electronic 10-speed automatic transmission. There’s also a more powerful 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine with auto start-stop technology. Those seeking something that packs more punch can opt for the 3-liter EcoBoost V6, which generates an impressive 405 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
With the available Trailer Tow package, your new Ranger has a maximum towing capability of 7,500 pounds. The Ranger also features a front-independent suspension that enhances handling and stability.
2. Exterior Styling
The all-new Ford Ranger’s well-crafted exterior evokes majesty and authenticity. Automatic headlamps will turn on and off depending on the surrounding lighting conditions. The power-locking tailgate can lock and unlock automatically along with the doors, and the two front tow hooks are used for pulling your vehicle out in emergency situations. The Ranger also comes standard with halogen fog lamps, daytime running lamps, and Easy Fuel capless fuel filler.
3. Infotainment and Connectivity
Stay connected and entertained with the Ranger’s cutting-edge technology. A 10.1-inch infotainment display is standard, but shoppers with a focus on tech can upgrade to a bigger, vertically oriented 12-inch screen. Access your favorite features and apps, including Apple Carplay and Android Auto, via the center touch screen or simply with the sound of your voice. FordPass Connect with 4G WIFI hotspot allows occupants to connect their devices to the internet while on the move.
4. Safety Features
The 2025 Ranger is one of the safest trucks on the road, equipped with advanced safety features that provide peace of mind in every drive. The curve control is designed to help you maintain control of your truck if it enters a curve and is traveling too fast for the road conditions or layout. Four-wheel antilock brakes prevent the wheels from locking to avoid skidding or retain more control, especially on slippery or uneven surfaces.
The trailer sway control helps minimize the trailer’s side-to-side movement while driving. Each 2025 Ranger is also equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, child-proof rear door locks, AdvanceTrac with roll stability control, and front and passenger seat-mounted airbags.
With multiple drive modes, a fully boxed high-strength steel frame, and many other superior performance features, the Ranger is ready for both work and play. Visit the friendly and knowledgeable team at Brad Manning Ford Inc. in DeKalb, IL, to test drive this versatile truck.
