We have been thrilled to have the Ford Ranger back in the automotive market. This midsize truck was missed and longed for. The question you\u2019ll have to ask yourself is whether or not the new 2020 Ford Ranger is the right truck for you? This truck comes to you with excellent capability but does have some limitations that you might want to explore. Let\u2019s review the pros and cons of the Ford Ranger.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The most glaring negative you\u2019ll find for the Ford Ranger is the fact that it only has one powertrain. It is a strong EcoBoost engine that does a good job, but you can\u2019t opt for a diesel engine or for one that\u2019s more powerful or more efficient. You\u2019re stuck with the powertrain that Ford has come up with and that might not be good enough for you.<\/p>\n
You can take the Ford Ranger out on the trails and have a good time, but when it comes to the roughest and toughest terrain that you\u2019ll find, the Ranger isn\u2019t the ideal truck for you to have the drive you want. If you know you\u2019re going to explore some rough areas, look to other midsize trucks to give you the hardcore features you need.<\/p>\n
The largest of the Ford Ranger cabs is the SuperCrew model which has enough room to accommodate most families, but you might need more room to make sure tall passengers have the space needed. Take this truck for a test drive to see if it has the space needed. If it doesn\u2019t, you can step up to the Ford F-150 SuperCrew and know you have the size you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n
If you have a teen driver, they will want to drive your new Ford Ranger. The Ford MyKey system allows you to have some controls with the limits you can set for your teenager. You\u2019ll be able to set a limit for the top speed and the stereo max volume to ensure your young driver is focused and better on the road.<\/p>\n
At upgraded trims, you can have the benefits of FordPass Connect. This system gives you a Wi-Fi hotspot to support ten devices, which gives everyone access to the internet during the ride. You can also use this smartphone app to remotely start the Ford Ranger and lock the doors. This system will also help you locate your vehicle if you forget where you parked it in the lot.<\/p>\n
If you move up from the base four-speaker audio system, you\u2019ll find a new Bang & Olufsen premium sound system to give you the clear sounds you want to enjoy. This system offers you 675 watts of power and ten speakers to make sure you have superior sound quality during your drive. This system also eliminates background noise for the clear music you want to hear when you take a drive.<\/p>\n
Ford has developed the Sync 3 infotainment system which is one of the most complete and impressive systems in the market today. This system isn\u2019t standard on the base model but move up a trim and you\u2019ll find what you want. The Sync 3 system allows you to connect using Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Check out the high-resolution screen where you control this system.<\/p>\n
Every version of the Ford Ranger<\/a> has automatic emergency braking to give you some safety. Trims above the base model give you the benefit of the Ford Co-Pilot 360 system. This system allows you to have a lane-keep assist, automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage, and rear cross-traffic alerts. This package of features makes it easy for you to feel safer when you take a drive.<\/p>\n Many of the midsize trucks of the past sacrificed comfort when you were inside the cabin. The Ford Ranger has smooth operation and gives you the comfort you\u2019re looking for when you get behind the wheel. The cabin is not only comfortable but its also quiet and easy for you to have the enjoyable drive you\u2019re looking for when you take it on the road.<\/p>\n We already knew the Ford Ranger FX4 gave us the 4WD package we want to enjoy on the trails. What we have now is the new FX2 package which allows the 2WD version of this truck to be enjoyable on the trails as well. This package gives you skid plates, an electronic locking rear differential, and a trail-tuned suspension to make sure you have the feeling you want.<\/p>\n The Ford Ranger doesn\u2019t have the sheer muscle of a full-size truck, but it can still take on a decent workload and give you the pulling power you need. The maximum towing capacity of this truck is 7,500 pounds and the payload capacity is 1,860 pounds. You\u2019ll be pleased to have the power and performance of this amazing truck on the roads and trails.<\/p>\n Even though you only have one powertrain for the Ford Ranger, you\u2019ll have a lot of power for the drive you want to enjoy. This truck uses a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder EcoBoost engine that gives you 270 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque. You can get to highway speeds in a hurry and pull the load you need to with this powertrain doing all the work.<\/p>\n Let the team at your local Ford dealer help you figure out which version of the Ford Ranger will be the right one for you. This truck<\/a> is back on the market and it has what you want for your drive.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nEnjoy the Comfort of this Truck<\/h3>\n
