What’s new for the 2025 Ford Ranger?
After a major redesign for the 2024 model year, not much has changed for the 2025 Ranger. This midsize truck is likely to be as popular as it was last year, though, thanks to its new engine options (including a long-awaited V6!), upgraded tech lineup (including a standard digital gauge cluster, SYNC 4 infotainment, and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity), and class-exclusive tech features (like the Pro Trailer Backup Assist system).
What are the 2025 Ford Ranger engine options?
For 2025, Ranger shoppers can choose from three powerful engine options. However, your choices are limited, depending on which Ranger trim model (XL, XLT, Lariat, and Raptor) you select. The most powerful option, a 3.0-liter turbo V6, sends 405 horsepower to the Raptor’s four wheels. When you choose the XLT or Lariat, you can upgrade your performance with the 315-horsepower turbo V6!
Choose from these powertrain options for your 2025 Ranger:
- Standard for the XL, XLT, Lariat: 2.3L turbocharged four-cylinder engine (270 horsepower, 310 lb-ft of torque)
- Optional for the XLT, Lariat: 2.7L turbo V6 (315 hp, 400 lb-ft)
- Raptor-specific 3.0L turbo V6 (405 hp, 430 lb-ft)
- 10-speed automatic transmission
- Rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive
Is the 2025 Ford Ranger comfortable?
Thanks to its standard crew cabin, the recently redesigned Ranger offers plenty of everyday comfort. Inside, you’ll find two rows of roomy seating. Each individual seat delivers the supportive contours and cushioning you need for a long, comfy road trip. And with four trim models — the base XL, mid-level XLT, stylish Lariat, and rugged Raptor — you get to decide how much you want to spend on comfort upgrades.
In addition to its roomy seating, the XL also comes standard with an excellent infotainment setup. The SYNC 4 system is standard, along with an 10-inch central touchscreen and wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity.
Upgrading to the XLT means more convenience features, including a wireless smartphone charger and power-folding side mirrors. The Ford Co-Pilot360 safety aids, including blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage, help you spot danger.
For upscale comfort, check out the Ranger Lariat. This truck adds to features from the lower trims with extras like power-adjustable heated seats and leather upholstery. The Lariat also upgrades your tech setup, introducing a bigger, 12-inch central touchscreen and exterior Zone Lighting.
Then there’s the off-road-ready Raptor, which is nearly as luxurious as it is capable. Inside, this midsize truck offers many of the same comfort upgrades as the Lariat, including a premium sound system and expansive 12-inch digital gauge cluster.
