A midsize truck that fits the bill
The Ford Ranger has built a strong reputation as a do-it-all pickup. It’s practical for daily use, easier to live with than a full-size truck, yet still tough enough to haul, tow, and head off-road. That balance has kept it competitive in a segment packed with options like the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado, and Nissan Frontier.
Ford’s latest redesign gave the Ranger a sharper look, a more tech-forward cabin, and plenty of capability. Now, September’s lease specials are making it even easier to park one in the driveway.
September lease offers
Ford Credit is putting three versions of the Ranger on special this month. The 2025 Ranger XLT comes in at $359 per month for 36 months with $4,459 due at signing. The entry-level Ranger XL is available for $307 per month on a 48-month lease with $3,832 due at signing, based on 10,500 annual miles.
For those looking to step up in comfort and features, the 2025 Ranger LARIAT is being offered at $463 per month for 48 months with $5,028 due at signing, also with a 10,500-mile annual allowance. Each of these offers waives the security deposit, though taxes, title, and license fees are additional. Offers end September 30, 2025. Learn more here.
What’s new for 2025
The current Ranger builds on last year’s full redesign, adding small refinements while keeping the same rugged personality. Bold styling up front, C-clamp LED headlights, and strong body lines give it a confident stance. Inside, buyers can get a digital 12.4-inch gauge cluster and up to a 12-inch SYNC 4A touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Higher trims also bring available leather upholstery and upgraded sound systems.

Practical touches like the available tailgate work surface and clever cargo tie-downs make the Ranger just as handy at the job site as it is for weekend projects. Payload capacity tops out at 1,805 pounds, with towing up to 7,500 pounds when properly equipped.
Still a standout in the class
Power comes from a standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder with 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic. Optional four-wheel drive and multiple drive modes help the truck handle everything from snow to sand.

Even mid-grade trims like the XLT benefit from Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assist features, including blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage, lane-keeping assist, and pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking.
Final thoughts
With three distinct lease options this September, the 2025 Ranger offers flexibility that should appeal to a wide range of truck shoppers. Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly XL, a versatile XLT, or a more premium LARIAT, Ford’s midsize pickup brings a compelling mix of comfort, capability, and everyday usability.
