Overview

The 2023 Ford Ranger is expected to be launched with a considerable amount of exterior redesign without compromising on the existing toughness. Constructed with tough features including a chassis made of high-strength steel and steel bumpers attached to the frame. It comes equipped with a 2.3-liter Ecoboost turbocharged engine, and a 10-speed SelectShift transmission, you can drive your Ranger on regular roads or more challenging off-road terrain. Even the most challenging adventures won't intimidate the Ford Ranger. The styling of the Ranger is typical of a normal pickup with its wider hexagon-shaped front grille and the C-design LED DRLs. And the grooved hood and rounded front fender give it a more rugged appearance.

Buying Advice

We would recommend the Ford Ranger XLT trim as it offers a lot of features as standard and add to it the XLT 302A equipment package and the electronic locking rear differential to ensure better offroad capabilities. Our recommendations are based on the 2022 trims and any change in the available trims may affect this recommendation.
