Not all pickup trucks are created equally. While many possess plenty of power, very few can claim to have both brains and brawn like the Ford Ranger. It’s a powerhouse in off-road driving and technology as this marriage of two worlds combines to create the ultimate pickup truck experience.
Today, we’re going to take a look at what makes this vehicle stand head and shoulders above the competition and why its technology gives it the edge over everything else on the market.
The Power for Off-Road and More
This pickup truck is a beast in terms of the power it wields and how it can be utilized. It has a 3.0L Ecoboost V6 engine that has 430 ft-lb of torque and a best-in-class 405 maximum horsepower. It offers multiple drive modes, including Normal, Tow/Haul, Slipper, Eco, and Sport, so your truck can adapt to any situation that’s thrown at it.
Speaking of that Tow/Haul mode, this truck can tow up to 7,500 pounds of weight behind it. This pairs up with the Trailer Brake Controller and Pro Trailer Backup Assist to make it even easier to tow whatever you want. And the built-in Blind Spot Information System extends back to your trailer so it’s easier to see behind you, even when you’re hauling 7,500 pounds.
A Comfortable Ride on the Inside
There’s more to this vehicle than how rugged and powerful it is. On the inside, while enjoying the comfortable Memory Driver’s Seat and heated steering wheel, you can access all of your favorite tech on the 12-inch touchscreen to stay connected with the world around you while you keep your eyes on the road.
This truck also comes with Sync 4A, which allows you to connect your phone for ease of use with phone calls or messages. You can even take it a step further with Apple CarPlay, where you can sync up your iPhone to access all of your favorite apps at the touch of a button. You can also keep your devices charged with the included wireless charging pad.
An Exterior Built for Outdoors
One place this vehicle really gets to shine is its exterior. There are a number of touches on the outside that make it a great vehicle to take off-road. And there are mounted tie-downs and a cargo box that allow you to utilize the bed of your truck however you see fit and make the process easy.
One area where the exterior really gets to shine is in its lights. Not only does it come with LED projector headlamps that will give you excellent visibility when you’re out on the road at night, but it has lights in other areas as well. It comes with Zone Lighting that can light up the perimeter of your truck at night when you need it, including in the truck bed itself, which makes it even easier to access whatever you might have stowed away back there.
These all combine with some basic tweaks to the classic truck look to take an already great vehicle and update it for a new generation. Everything from the grille to the shape of the headlights has been tweaked to give this vehicle a more modern look.
Safety Features Designed for Peace of Mind
What would a tech-savvy truck like this be without its safety features? There are a number of safety features on this beast of a truck that are designed to give you peace of mind and let you focus on what’s important. Here are some of the safety features included:
- 360-Degree Camera
- Active Park Assist 2.0
- Pre-Collision Assist
- Blind Spot Information System
- Lane-Keeping System
- Rear View Camera
- Auto High-Beam Headlamps
