Is the 2024 Ford Ranger redesigned?
Yes, the 2024 Ranger has been completely redesigned! This long-awaited midsize truck doesn’t disappoint, either, delivering everything that drivers have been hoping for, from an available turbocharged V6 engine to a trail-ready Raptor trim model. The updated Ranger features new exterior styling, with a bold new look that will remind you of the bigger F-150.
These new trucks make things simple with one body style — a SuperCrew cabin paired with a 5-foot bed — and three trim models. Choose between the base XL, mid-level XLT, and top-tier Lariat for the amount of style and comfort you want!
How powerful is the 2024 Ford Ranger?
After a long wait, the Ranger is finally rolling out a new turbocharged V6 engine, giving you 315 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. It’s standard on the mid-level XLT and top-trim Lariat models. For even more power, check out the all-new Ranger Raptor. This midsize truck is specially designed to move through off-road terrain, and it comes with an exclusive 405-horsepower V6 engine. The entry-level Ranger XL trim model still comes with the familiar turbocharged four-cylinder engine that fans will recognize from previous model years, delivering 270 horsepower.
The 2024 Ford Ranger powertrain specs include:
- 2.3L turbocharged four-cylinder engine (270 horsepower, 310 lb-ft of torque)
- 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
Does the 2024 Ford Ranger offer BlueCruise?
Unfortunately, the Ranger doesn’t offer Ford’s hands-free driving technology, BlueCruise. At least not yet! However, this redesigned truck does offer quite a few driver safety aids, especially if you add the Technology Package, which includes adaptive cruise control, front parking sensors, and a 360-degree parking camera system. The Active Park Assist 2.0 system is also available to ease your Ranger into a parallel (or standard) parking space with little help from you. And the XLT and up come standard with the Co-Pilot360 suite of driving aids, including blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, and rear parking sensors.
In addition to safety aids, this new Ranger also delivers the latest infotainment features. These midsize trucks finally include Ford’s newest infotainment system, SYNC 4, and the wireless versions of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A 10.1-inch central touchscreen is standard, but drivers can opt for an available 12-inch touchscreen. Also new for 2024 is a standard digital gauge cluster (the standard version is 8 inches but a 12.4-inch screen is also available). A total of four USB ports (two USB-A and two USB-C ports) are available, along with a wireless smartphone charging pad!
