The Ranger's Performance is Ford tough

 

The 2022 Ford Ranger comes standard with a 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission. For delivery jobs or hauling your next truckload of household items for a move, the Ranger is more than capable.

 

The truck's engine produces 270 horsepower. Consequently, it offers a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 pounds and a maximum payload capacity of 1,860 pounds when properly equipped. Plus, with a 6-foot cargo bed even at the base trim level, there will be plenty of room to transport that old sofa you can't stand to part with yet.

 

The Ranger has an available 4x4 system as well as Terrain Management System™. The latter will adjust the responsiveness of the engine to maximize its output, so you can easily travel over any topography.

 

It also has various drive modes that you can select to tackle:

 

·       Grass

·       Gravel

·       Mud

·       Snow

·       Sands

·       Ruts

 

The Ranger has a bit of gusto, too, when you need to move fast. It can go from 0 to 60 MPH in 6.8 seconds and travel a quarter mile in 15.2 seconds. Plus, in addition to its speed and overall brawn, the Ranger has an exceptional fuel economy. It has an EPA-estimated 21 city/26 highway MPG.

 

Exterior Design for Maximum towing capability

 

The Ford Ranger has been designed with a smaller wheelbase and lighter frame than other trucks in its class. This makes it nimbler when traveling over uneven terrain and towing heavy loads.

It also has a ground clearance of 8.4 inches, which helps it roll over rocks and ruts with ease. If you're trailering a pod with building supplies over an uneven construction site, this can really come in handy.

For added stability, you can choose the Ford Ranger SuperCrew and the available Tremor Off-Road package. This comes with an off-road suspension that includes Fox dampers for shock absorption. With this package, you'll also get magnetic-painted alloy wheels, skid plates, Trail Control™, and the Terrain Management System™ for maximum traction.

If your daring off-roading adventure or work on that rugged worksite extends into the night, headlights with available automatic on/off will help you drive safely in the dark. You can even opt for available automatic wiper activation to improve your safety in low visibility conditions.

 

Performance and Safety go Hand in Hand

 

The efficient performance and towing ability of the Ranger wouldn't be much without its safety features keeping you secure in all road conditions. It's equipped with a full suite of standard and available driver-assisting features, including:

 

·       Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking

·       BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Coverage

·       Dynamic Hitch Assist Back-Up Camera

The Dynamic Hitch Assist Back-Up Camera will give you a rear view of your hitch and help you keep your trailer and truck aligned. It utilizes a black line in the backup camera view, which you can use as a guide. This line can move in conjunction with your steering to ensure proper alignment.

 

No matter what job you need to complete, the Ranger's safety features will give you an extra set of eyes to help you stay on the job.
