According to Ford, its all-new 2024 Ranger is “the most connected and capable ranger ever – tough-tested globally and proven ready for epic adventures”.
Ford has engineered each aspect of the all-new Ranger to meet the uncompromising demands of its adventure-craving customers, including its frame, suspension, powertrains, connectivity, and advanced driver assist software, a statement from the manufacturer reads.
In the last decade alone, Ranger sales have increased 112% globally, with over 86,000 sold so far in 2023.
To meet the evolving needs of its customers, the all-new 2024 Ford Ranger now offers more towing technology than ever in a Ranger, convenient storage features, and an available 2.7-litre EcoBoost V6* for added power.
Built Ford Tough
The all-new Ford Ranger is built Ford tough, having been tested with the equivalent of more than 4.9 million customer miles prior to launch – from broken road surfaces in Australia to harsh hauling, brutal towing and hot testing in America, and cold testing in New Zealand.
In designing the backbone of Ranger, Ford engineers improved the truck’s fully boxed high-strength steel frame, with the wheelbase and track both stretched about two inches to provide more bed space and improved stability while remaining easy to navigate on trails.
The rear shocks and shock mounts have also been moved outboard of the frame rails for improved ride and control.
All versions of the Ranger also benefit off-road from improved ground clearance and better approach and departure angles.
From day trips to multi-day journeys, the all-new Ranger is ready to bring gear to wherever the next adventure lies, with a maximum available towing capacity of 7,500 pounds and a maximum available payload capacity of 1,805 pounds††.
To power these adventures, the proven 2.3-litre EcoBoost continues as the standard engine, developing 270 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque†††, and Ranger will offer the available 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6* shared with F-150® and Bronco®, which produces 315 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque††† to provide customers more power when towing, passing, and off-roading.
All Rangers come with a standard class-exclusive** 10-speed automatic SelectShift® transmission and an available electronic shift-on-the-fly 4×4 system built for on-demand off-road and low traction capability.
