5 Capable Traits of the 2025 Ford Ranger

The 2025 Ford Ranger is a reliable pickup now here at our dealership that offers turbocharged performance, innovative technology, and these five traits that make it capable of tackling both work and play.

 

Three strong engines are offered for the 2025 Ranger, though most drivers will easily be satisfied with the base engine, which is a fuel-efficient and turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost I-4. While this engine delivers an impressive 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, more power can be found in the other two engines: a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 with 315 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, and a 405-horsepower 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6, also twin-turbocharged, that generates 430 pound-feet of torque.

 

Rear-wheel drive is standard with most trim levels, though you can opt for a capable 4x4 system. Every model includes Selectable Drive Modes, and while lower trim levels come standard with five modes (Normal, Eco, Slippery, Sport, and Tow/Haul), the Raptor trim features four additional ones (Off-Road, Rock Crawl, Baja, and a customizable mode called MyMode). You can also add both Mud/Ruts and Sand modes to select trims with the available FX4 Package.

 

This truck's standard SYNC 4A infotainment system offers multiple functions ranging from entertainment options to available navigation assistance. You can stream media from smartphones with this system using its wireless Bluetooth connection, access apps both from the system and from smartphones, adjust driver preference settings, and make calls using your voice. It also comes with a brilliant 10.1-inch full-color touchscreen, though there's also an available 12-inch touchscreen, and the system teams seamlessly with the two different audio systems offered.

 

Also capable when it comes to towing, this pickup provides a maximum towing capacity in most models of 7,500 pounds when fully equipped with the available Trailer Tow Package, with the exception of the Ranger trim, which tows up to 5,510 pounds. Trailer Sway Control comes with every model, and select trims also offer available Pro Trailer Backup Assist, a trailer brake controller, a 360-degree camera system with trailer guidance, and many other extras.

 

This edition has plenty of adaptive driver-assist systems as well, including AdvanceTrac with RSC (Roll Stability Control), Lane-Keeping System, and Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking. In parking lots, the included Rear View Camera and front parking sensors will be appreciated, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System also comes standard, and select trims have adaptive cruise control, which comes with speed sign recognition capabilities.
