If you have been considering getting a new pickup truck for a while, the Ford Ranger might just be what you need.The Ford Ranger’s a truck that’s probably on your wish list, otherwise, why would you be reading more about it? Kidding. Or are we? The Ranger is one heck of a pickup truck in its segment, not just in terms of its looks, but also because of its features. There are a ton of things to list, but here are the five standout ones that we feel contribute a ton to the pickup’s desirability.
Standard 2.0-liter diesel engine, but you choose how many turbos you want
Ever find yourself wishing you could change your truck's power to fit your lifestyle? With the Ford Ranger, you can. The Ford Ranger brags about its engine options, where you can pick from a standard 2.0-liter diesel engine with either one or two turbos, depending on how much power you need. The twin-turbo setup in the Wildtrak version is a powerhouse, offering one of the highest performance outputs in the midsize pickup class. Even the single turbo model provides much power for your daily tasks and heavier loads. Plus, every Ranger comes with a 10-speed automatic transmission, allowing you to have smooth shifts and efficiency that's tough to beat in this class.
When we first got wind that the Ranger and the Everest lineups will be getting a new engine from Ford, we were a bit skeptical. Downsizing an engine isn’t good unless you’re going for a Turbo. In the Ranger Wildtrak’s case, we got an extra turbo on top of the standard single turbo setup that most other pickups have, netting us one of the highest horsepower and torque figures we’ve ever seen in a midsize pickup.
That 12-inch vertical infotainment system, and that 10-inch gauge cluster
If you feel tired of infotainment systems that require you to shuffle through menus, the Ranger's 12-inch vertical infotainment screen may change your belief... and experience on that. It features a 12-inch vertical screen that lets you use your favorite apps like maps or music without losing sight of important vehicle information, which is a practical setup that keeps everything you need right in front of you, reducing the need to switch screens. Additionally, the 10-inch digital dashboard provides all the essential driving data in a clear, easy-to-read format, improving your driving experience by keeping you informed and focused on the road.
A 360-degree camera that makes any drive easy
Driving a pickup truck, especially in tight spaces or on rough roads, can be a real struggle. That's where the Ranger's 360-degree camera comes into play. The feature provides a bird's-eye view of the truck, making parking in tight spots simple and safe. It's also incredibly useful when driving through bumpy and uneven trails, making sure you avoid potential hazards and obstacles effortlessly.
Five-star safety
How important is safety in your vehicle choice? The Ranger excels here, too, with a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating, giving you the assurance that you and your passengers are protected with the latest safety technology. The Ranger is equipped with numerous driving aids that help prevent accidents and provide maximum safety during your journeys. This truck will make sure you will get to your destination safely.
Go anywhere, do anything, in style
The Ranger borrows design elements from the iconic Ford F-150, giving it quite a striking appearance. The interior doesn’t skimp on quality either, offering long-lasting materials and advanced technology to keep you comfortable and connected. Ford may not list “style” on the spec sheet, but the looks may tug on your heartstrings as hard as that diesel engine can pull. So whether you’re entering the car with dirty hands and feet, or even a wet behind, know that Ford’s favorite motto of being “Built Ford Tough” is apparent, at least in the time that we’ve had with the car.
So, thinking about putting the Ford Ranger first on your truck shopping list? Consider these five reasons and remember, there are even more. If you want to see all the Ford models, take a look at AutoDeal where you can also get a free quote for any Ford you like.
