The Ford Ranger gives midsize truck buyers plenty of capability without moving up to a full-size pickup. Find out what we know about its latest model year below!
Key Takeaways:
- The 2027 Ford Ranger sees few changes this year.
- The Ranger features the same turbocharged engine choices.
- It can tow up to 7,500 pounds.
- A Ranger Tremor comes to the lineup later in 2027.
How Much Has the Ranger Changed for 2027?
Ford keeps major changes to a minimum this year, extending the current Ranger into '27 without a full redesign. A Ranger Tremor has been rumored as a potential new model, giving buyers another off-road-focused choice below the more expensive Ranger Raptor.
The Ranger Tremor should debut before the end of the year. Pricing could fall between the 2026 Lariat's $45,850 starting price and the $59,165 Raptor, according to Car and Driver.
How Much Horsepower Do the Ranger's Engines Have?
The standard turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder produces 270 horsepower and pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Buyers can configure this engine with rear- or four-wheel drive.
Stepping up to the twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 increases output to 315 horsepower. Four-wheel drive is standard when choosing the V6.
What Makes the Ranger Spacious Beyond the Driver's Seat?
Storage space isn't limited to the bed. The rear seats fold to create additional room inside the cab for tools, equipment, or valuables you'd rather keep enclosed. Smaller items can be stored out of sight in the compartments beneath the rear seats.
The bed is wide enough to accommodate a sheet of plywood between the wheel wells, and Ford includes an integrated step to make reaching cargo easier.
How Much Can the Ranger Tow and Haul?
Properly configured Rangers can carry payloads of up to 1,788 pounds and tow as much as 7,500 pounds. Available Pro Trailer Backup Assist provides additional help when reversing with a trailer. Instead of relying solely on steering-wheel inputs, the driver can use a console-mounted knob to guide the trailer while backing up.
How Comfortable Is the Ranger for Everyday Driving?
Adjustable seats and steering-wheel positioning help drivers find a comfortable setup for longer trips.
What Kind of Tech Does the Ranger Have?
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. An available navigation system adds real-time traffic information, and buyers can also select a 10-speaker B&O audio system. Multiple USB connections and 12-volt outlets throughout the cabin provide plenty of places to keep phones and other devices charged.
How Much Fuel Does the Ranger Use?
Ford Ranger fuel economy is decent for a mid-size pickup. With the turbocharged four-cylinder, rear-wheel-drive Rangers earn an EPA-estimated 23 mpg combined. The FWD version gets 21 mpg combined. Choosing the more powerful twin-turbo V6 lowers the estimate to 20 mpg combined.
