Not many trucks can do it all, but the 2025 Ford Ranger can. It can take on terrains on and off the road, transport hefty loads, and keep everyone in the cabin entertained and comfortable. It’s great for both everyday driving and taking on tough work.
1. It Has Competitive Payload and Towing Capacities
The Ranger’s towing and payload capacities are both competitive, making it one of the strongest trucks in its segment. The strongest Rangers are the first three trims when they have the Crew Cab and the Trailer Tow Package. Models with that configuration can tow up to 7,500 pounds. The maximum towing capacity of other configurations varies.
When it comes to payload, the strongest Ranger can travel with up to 1,788 pounds in its bed. If you’ve got a 4×2 Crew Cab sporting the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, then you’ll be driving a Ranger with that maximum payload capacity.
2. It Has a Trim Ready for the Trails
The Ranger Raptor was made with off-road driving in mind. It has a higher ride height than the other trims, 33-inch all-terrain tires, and 2.5-inch internal bypass shocks, to name just a few features designed for the trails. It also delivers a calm and comfortable ride on and off the road.
3. It Has Seats That Keep You Supported
Power-adjustability is standard for the driver’s seat in the Ranger. It can be moved in 8 directions, and you can upgrade to a 10-way seat instead. The standard front passenger seat is 6-way manually adjustable, and an 8-way power-adjustable front passenger seat is also available. With all this adjustability, you can find the most supportive position that keeps you comfortable during long drives.
4. It Has Infotainment Technology That’s Packed with Features
Your Ranger’s SYNC 4A infotainment system has so many features that can help you out with different things. There’s a Wi-Fi hotspot you can use if you choose to activate it. You can access maps and navigation by pairing your smartphone to the system and using voice commands to ask for directions to your destination.
You can also use voice commands to stream podcasts, music, and audiobooks, use your phone’s calling and messaging functions, and access your smartphone’s calendar.
5. It Has Assistive Tech to Keep You Safe
There are multiple standard driver assistance features that enhance your safety in the Ranger. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking is one of the most useful. Ford Co-Pilot360 is standard in the XLT and up. This are several more driver assistance features that help you out in different situations, such as Blind Spot Assist with Reverse Brake Assist.
