Ford has debuted a redesigned version of its popular midsize pickup, the Ranger, for the model year 2024.
Engineers have undertaken a complete overhaul of the Ranger implementing significant improvements that draws inspiration from the F-150.
The new Ranger is more extensive, with the wheelbase in track expanded by 2 inches each resulting in more bed space. The vehicle also comes equipped with a standard 2.3 litter four-cylinder ecoboost engine, while a more powerful 2.7 Litter ecoboost V6 engine will be offered after the launch.
The truck has improved towing technology, off-roading features, and new driver assistance technologies. Additionally, it introduces new features like optional rear side steps and flat-folding back seats for more accessible storage of bulky objects inside the cabin. Additionally, it has a built-in 4G LTE modem that enables over-the-air software updates.
Ford sells the Ranger in more than 180 markets and has already launched the redesigned version in other parts of the world. May 10 is when the company debuted the vehicle in the U.S. The Ranger is being assembled at the Michigan assembly plant in Wayne.
Starting prices for the Ranger will be $34,160, whereas the Ranger Raptor will start at $56,960 and will include an additional $1,595 in destination and delivery fees. Furthermore, orders for both vehicles will be available in late summer, whereas the 2.7 L eco-boost V6 engine option for the Ranger will be available in late fall.
The 2024 Ranger has three trim levels: XL, XLT, and Lariat. However, it does not come with BlueCruise, Ford’s hands-free highway driving system. Still, it features 31 standard driver assist capabilities, such as lane centering, intersection assist, active park assists 2.0, and more.
