The 2025 Ford Ranger in a Nutshell
Among all its peers, the Ford Ranger has been around the longest. Despite the little break it took from 2012 to 2019 in America, it remains a well-established name in its class. When it finally came back, it was in line with the global model for the first time ever. Prior to that, North and Latin American models were totally different from what the rest of the world got.
The latest generation is the fourth one for global markets and the fifth for America. It was introduced in America in 2023, two years after it was first revealed for most markets. It’s still largely based on the previous model, but has been enhanced and improved in several ways. The Ranger has since received a couple of rolling changes since then.

2025 Ford Ranger Highlights
For pricing, the Ranger starts at $33,350 for the XL 2WD to $47,255 for the Lariat 4WD. That goes up to $57,070 if we include the Raptor. Ranger trims consist of XL, XLT, Lariat, and Raptor. Standard features include autonomous emergency braking, rear-view camera, trailer sway control, wireless phone connectivity, and selectable drive modes.
Go for the XLT and that adds Sport Appearance Package, Ford’s more comprehensive CoPilot 360 advanced driver assist package, and remote start. Meanwhile, the Lariat gains more niceties and convenience features such as heated front seats, power seats with memory, leather, and zone lighting. The Raptor, on the other hand, is a model in its own right with beefed-up mechanicals, Fox dampers, and a more powerful engine.
Save for the Raptor, all Rangers come standard with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost that makes 270 hp. Optional in the XLT and Lariat is the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 with 315. As for the Raptor, it’s the only one that gets the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 that lays down 405 hp.

Final Thoughts
Toyota dominates the midsize pickup market, but Ford did a great job with the latest Ranger. For a utility vehicle, it’s surprisingly refined with good on-road manners. It doesn’t come at the compromise of towing or payload, and for its size, it’s a greatly capable hauler. Granted, it can’t carry as much as the F-150, but it still makes for a solid work truck that’s at home on the road or off of it. Oh, and the Ranger Raptor is buckets of fun.
