The 2025 Ford Ranger is a midsize truck with a fun attitude balanced by serious capability.

What’s new this model year? Is it right for you? Find out in this truck review.

Performance and Capability

The most essential thing for most truck owners is 2025 Ford Ranger performance. They want to know if the specs will match their needs. The standard engine generates 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. This Ecoboost design produces V6-like power from a fuel-sipping four cylinder design.

You don’t have to step up to a higher engine to get top towing power. Any Ranger is capable of pulling up to 7500 pounds.

However, for those who want a racier engine, the Ecoboost V6 cranks up the power to 315 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. The ultimate adventure machine, the Ranger Raptor, pumps out 405 horsepower and is assisted by an awesome 430 lb-ft of torque.

Adventure Ready

When it comes to adventure, this truck is ready for some off-roading from day one. It only gets better with more equipment. Favorite Ranger off-road features include Trail Control and multi-terrain management modes.

Ranger FX off-road trucks allow you to take on bigger challenges. Tremor models kick it up another notch. Fox Racing Shox and a special Watts suspension help the 2025 Ranger Raptor push through difficult terrain.

Features and Technology

The best midsize truck today shares a strong resemblance to a great SUV. That’s why the Ford Ranger interior has become so comfortable and so well equipped. Cabins are packed with the features that drivers want.

A large 10-inch touchscreen provides the driver with the Sync system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. If you prefer an even more familiar tablet style, there’s a class-exclusive 12-inch vertically-mounted screen.

An 8-inch digital driver’s screen completes the standard digital cockpit. The Raptor adds a 12.4-inch instrument gauge screen, a 360-degree camera, and a front view camera.

2025 Ford Ranger interior dimensions ensure a comfortable front and back row. There’s room for adult friends or for your children’s special seats.

XLT models have dual-zone automatic climate controls to keep you cooler in our hottest summers. FordPass app is an excellent remote control and much more. Lariats wear leather upholstery while Tremors sport a soft Miko suede insert.

Exterior Design and Utility

Rugged and well-made, the Ford Ranger exterior speaks to its capability. This two-row cabin is perfectly matched to a 5-foot bed. Covered storage and tie-downs add to its utility. Inside the cabin you can create more storage by folding the rear seats flat.

Extra wide steps on either side of the bed are available to help you in and out of the bed. They are well-positioned and extra wide, making them useful. Ford added more inches to the Ranger’s integrated track, which lets you move tie-down points as needed.

Special tailgate features include a built-in ruler and clamp pockets. When you need to power a tool, there’s an available 400-watt power inverter. Exclusive zone lighting can be a great advantage before the sun comes up or after it goes down!

Conclusion

When it comes to the needs of today’s driver, the comfort of passengers, and the moving of big loads, the 2025 Ford Ranger has it covered. The diverse trim levels and off-road adventure trims make it fun to find the one that suits your lifestyle.

Even if you aren’t ready to buy, you owe yourself some hands-on research. Schedule a test drive at Rodeo Ford.
