The Ford Ranger is fully redesigned for 2024.

The 2024 Ford Ranger is powered by a 270 horsepower 2.3L turbocharged four-cylinder engine mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission while the 4x4 Raptor trim is powered by a 3.6 twin turbo V6 with 405 horsepower.

There is only one body styles available the SuperCrew that comes with a five-foot bed in both 4x2 and 4x4. Three trims are available on both drive types: XL, XLT, or Lariat with the 4x4 Raptor at the top of the lineup.

The basic XL trim comes with automatic headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels, wi-fi hotspot, manual locking tailgate, locking glove box, power door locks, 2 USB ports, Ford's SYNC infotainment system, a 10.1 inch touchscreen, rearview camera, pedestrian detection alert, and forward collision mitigation.

The XLT trim adds both luxury and style over the XL with bumpers painted in body color, LED fog lamps, auto high beam, blind spot detection, rear collision warning, lane keep assist, driver attention alert, power mirrors, rear window defroster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 6-speaker system, satellite radio, infotainment system with voice activation, power locking tailgate, and adaptive cruise control.

At the top of the Ranger lineup sits the Lariat, with leather trimmed seats, LED headlights and taillights, LED fog lights, ambient lighting, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and proximity doors with push button start. The Lariat also comes standard with 18-inch machine finished alloy wheels, power folding heated side mirrors with turn-signals, driver and passenger power seats, and heated front seats.

The Raptor trim features a dual chrome exhaust, an active suspension, skid plates, side steps, a 10-speaker sound system, a 12-inch touchscreen, navigation with voice activation, wireless device charging, push button start, a 12-inch gauge cluster, and a surround view camera. The Raptor also takes safety seriously with automated parking sensors, active lane departure, blind spot warning, forward and rear collision mitigation, front pedestrian detection, a driver attention alert and a traffic sign information system.

The Ford Ranger competes with other compact pickup trucks such as the Toyota Tacoma and Chevrolet Colorado. Pricing is competitive with short cab and crew cab versions costing just a few thousand dollars more. Unlike its rivals who generally offer either an underpowered 4-cylinder or a large V6, Ford have opted to give the new Ranger a more modern drivetrain, powering all models with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine which makes similar horsepower to a V6 while returning better gas mileage.

Traditional Ford pickup truck toughness; standard driver-assistance technology; compact exterior dimensions; fuel efficient engine; available four-wheel drive; stylish exterior styling; strong turbo; can tow up to 7500 lbs.
