What’s New: A Sneak Peek Into the Latest Updates and Features

After a redesign for the 2024 model year, the Ford Ranger carries over into 2025 with minor changes. The lineup gains three striking new exterior color options, with Ruby Red Metallic, Desert Sand, and Marsh Gray supplanting Cactus Gray, Iconic Silver, and Hot Pepper Red. A new Black Appearance is also available on the XLT and LARIAT models, which gives the pickup a bold, aggressive look. These upgrades give you even more ways to customize your Ranger and make it unique.

The new model shares the same powerful engine options and core equipment as the 2024 Ford Ranger and continues to deliver exceptional towing capabilities, excellent fuel efficiency, and high-tech features. With four distinct trims, finding one that suits your style and driving requirements is easy.

2025 Ford Ranger Interior and Exterior Features

The 2025 Ford Ranger enhances the driving experience with cutting-edge tech, rugged performance, and comprehensive comfort and convenience features.

Exterior Styling: Rugged Yet Refined Design

The 2025 Ford Ranger maintains a strong visual connection to the full-size F-150, with its sculpted body lines, dynamic grille design, and chiseled front bumper. The entry-level XL model includes LED reflector headlamps and halogen headlights, while higher trims upgrade to LED projector headlamps and fog lamps and add LED bed lighting. The XL, XLT, and Raptor come with 17-inch aluminum wheels, while 18-inch alloys are standard on the LARIAT and available on the XLT as part of a package.

Ford Ranger Interior: Comfort Meets Technology

The interior of the 2025 Ranger combines functionality, comfort, and state-of-the-art tech features. Ford equips the XL and XLT with a 10-inch infotainment display in the center stack, while the LARIAT and Raptor upgrade to a 12-inch display, an available option on the XLT. A modern dashboard with textured trim and honeycomb-patterned air vents adds visual appeal. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is standard across the lineup to keep you connected on the go.

You get an 8-inch digital instrument cluster in the XL and XLT and a 12-inch version in the LARIAT and Raptor. Premium amenities on select trims include leather-trimmed seats, dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control, and a 10-way power driver seat with heat and memory functions.

Performance Features: Power, Efficiency, and Capability

The 2025 Ford Ranger offers multiple powertrain options to suit different driving needs. All engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission to ensure smooth acceleration, optimal power distribution, and superior fuel efficiency. All trims are offered with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) except for the Raptor, which comes standard with 4WD.

Ford Ranger Engine Options

The standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine generates 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, providing capable performance for daily driving and light-duty tasks. A 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 with 315 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque is available on the XLT and LARIAT, delivering additional power for more demanding tasks. A twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 that produces 405 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque is offered exclusively on the Raptor, making it the most potent option in the lineup.

Ford Ranger Towing and Payload Capacity: Meeting the Demands of Adventure and Work

Regardless of your engine choice, the 2025 Ford Ranger is rated to tow up to 7,500 pounds when properly equipped. The standard trailer control feature helps maintain stability when towing. A trailer brake controller and Pro Trailer Backup Assist are included in the available Advanced Towing Package. Payload capacity reaches 1,805 pounds in RWD models and 1,711 pounds with 4WD.

Fuel Economy and Real-World Mileage for the Eco-Conscious Driver

The four-cylinder Ranger earns EPA-estimated fuel efficiency ratings of 21 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway with RWD; 4WD reduces these figures by 1 mpg. With the V-6 engine, the Ranger offers 19 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. In real-world testing conducted by Car and Driver, the V-6 Ranger achieved 20 mpg during its 75-mph highway fuel economy test.

Safety First: Enhanced Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

All 2025 Ranger models come with Ford’s Co-Pilot360 suite of safety and driver-assist features, which incorporates Pre-Collison Assist with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot assist, adaptive cruise control, reverse brake assist, and lane departure warning. Available technologies include a 360-degree camera system, front and rear parking sensors, and blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic assist. The pickup’s comprehensive systems work together to help prevent accidents, enhance driver confidence in diverse conditions, and provide optimal protection for you and your passengers.
