The 2025 Ford Ranger is a prime example of a truck that’s good at many, many things. It has enough power to do difficult jobs with ease, and it’s also pleasant to drive. Its cabin is comfortable enough to keep long journeys enjoyable. The standard and available driver assistance features make rides in the truck feel great, too, as they can help you feel extra secure.
Transportation Machine
Whether you’re towing a large trailer all packing the bed full of cargo, your Ranger can easily transport lots of cargo. It has a maximum payload capacity of 1,805 pounds, and you’ll need a rear-wheel-drive model to carry this load. If you’re driving a four-wheel-drive Ranger, then you can transport up to 1,711 pounds in the bed. The Raptor trim is unique, as it has a maximum payload capacity of 1,411 pounds.
There’s no variation when it comes to towing. Both rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive trucks can tow up to 7,500 pounds. The Raptor isn’t the exception here, and it can tow the same amount of weight as the other trims. Every trim has Trailer Sway Control, and the Trailer Tow Package is available to make the towing experience better. Some trims also have an Advanced Towing Package available.
Ultra Comfortable
The Ranger’s front bucket seats are covered in pleasant cloth fabric and are highly adjustable. The driver gets to move their seat in eight directions, and the front seat passenger adjusts in six ways. Both seats are manual. Power seats are available in the XLT and standard in the LARIAT and Raptor. In these trims, the driver’s seat is 10-way power-adjustable, and the front seat passenger gets to relax in an 8-way seat.
The top two trims also offer heated seats and a memory function for the driver’s seat, allowing you to instantly put your seat back into the most suitable position for you if another driver adjusts it. If you’d like to make your cabin feel even more upscale, then consider getting a Ranger with leather-trimmed seats, a leather-wrapped shifter, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Super Safe
The Ranger’s base trim has Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, which warns you if a collision is likely and then automatically engages the brakes as needed. Ford Co-Pilot360, which is Ford’s package of driver assistance features, is standard on the XLT trim and up. It adds additional safety features, including Blind Spot Assist, which lets you know when there’s a vehicle in your blind spot, letting you know it’s not safe to change lanes.
