The 2025 Ford Ranger in a Nutshell
After a relatively long hiatus, the Ford Ranger staged its U.S. comeback in 2018 for the 2019 model year. For the first time ever, the American version was finally aligned with what the rest of the world got, making it a true global pickup. But while Ford has been the king of full-size pickup sales for nearly half a century, the same couldn’t be said about its midsize truck.
Still, Ford isn’t quitting, and the latest generation was introduced in 2023, boasting more tech, practicality, and capability. It rides on a modified version of the previous frame, but has more than enough changes to make it an all-new vehicle. Rolling changes have been introduced through the years, further enhancing its value proposition.

2025 Ford Ranger Lease Deals for March
Ford is still trying to offload as many 2025 model year Rangers, hence the lease deals available this March. One particular offer caught our attention, and it makes the Ranger a sweet deal among its peers. This month, the Ranger goes for as low as 221 for 36 months with $3,724 due at signing. It’s exclusive to the XLT Crew 4×2, and the offer is valid until March 31, 2026. As always, it’s $0.20 for every mile beyond 10,500 per year.
There’s more good news, too: the regular offers are more affordable than last month. The XL is at $264 per month with $3,789 due at signing, while the standard offer for the XLT stands at $292 per month with $4,019 due at signing. As for the Lariat, it’s down to $399 per month with $4,964 due at signing. The same terms and conditions mentioned above apply here.

2025 Ford Ranger Highlights
Starting with the XL, it starts at $33,350 for the 4×2 model. Move up to the XLT, and that one goes for $35,375, while the plusher Lariat is at $43,255. If we were to include the Raptor (which we didn’t), it retails for $57,070. All trims, including the base XL, come with autonomous emergency braking, rear-view camera, trailer sway control, wireless phone connectivity, and selectable drive modes.
XLTs come standard with the Sport Appearance package from the get-go, and also benefit from Ford’s CoPilot 360 advanced driver assist system. As for the Lariat, it gets features already seen in the XLT, plus power-adjustable front seats, memory seats for the driver, leather, zone lighting, and heated front seats.
The familiar 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine serves as the base engine for all Rangers, and it’s good for 270 hp. XLT and Lariat models can also be specified with a punchier 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, pushing power up to 315 hp. The 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with 405 hp is exclusive to the Raptor.
Final Thoughts
In terms of sales, the Ranger is fairly behind the midsize pickup mainstays, namely the Chevrolet Colorado and Toyota Tacoma. But its figures don’t represent the capabilities of the Ranger. It’s one of the best-riding pickups around, and surprisingly light to drive despite its utilitarian nature. The Ranger also offers class-competitive towing and payload capacities, coupled with strong powertrain options. All-in-all, it’s an underrated midsize pickup that deserves more customers.
