2022 Ford Ranger

The latest Ranger offers a new Splash appearance package. It’s available with one of three themes: Snow Edition, Forest Edition, or Sand Edition. For the cost of $1,495, you can dress your Ranger up with exclusive styling, including leather-trimmed seats and unique trim, inside and out.

Compared to the bigger F-150 for the smaller Maverick, Ford’s midsize truck strikes a nice balance between trucking utility and trucking costs. Depending on body style and equipment, the Ranger is EPA-rated to earn up to 23 mpg combined (21 city/26 highway). And it’s also great at moving your stuff, providing very competitive towing and hauling capabilities.

This new Ranger is available as three trim models, allowing shoppers to balance their budgets according to which features they want. The entry-level XL offers the lowest price, as well as a healthy dose of comfort (with roomy, supportive seating) and tech gear (Wi-Fi connectivity, forward collision mitigation). The mid-range XLT adds more infotainment features, including an 8-inch central touchscreen and smartphone integration (via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay). If it’s luxury you can’t live without, check out the Lariat, which adds leather upholstery and LED headlights.

This midsize truck helps you move major weight. With the proper equipment, your Ranger can transport a trailer weighing up to 7,500 pounds. The maximum payload capacity varies, depending on body style and equipment. To move the heftiest payloads, you need rear-wheel drive and the extended SuperCab, which can help your Ranger haul up to 1,905 pounds.

Every 2022 Ranger features the same powertrain:

• Turbocharged 2.3L four-cylinder engine (270 horsepower, 310 lb-ft of torque)
• 10-speed automatic transmission
• Rear-wheel drive
• Optional four-wheel drive
