What’s new for the 2024 Ford Ranger?
The Ranger has been completely redesigned for 2024. This all-new midsize truck is more powerful than ever before, with an available twin-turn V6 to spice up your ride. And these models also introduce a new high-performance, off-road-ready Ranger Raptor model, which gives you even more power. All of these trucks come with the SuperCrew cabin, with more than enough space for up to five passengers.
Will the 2024 Ford Ranger have a V6?
The base Ranger still comes with the same turbocharged four-cylinder engine from last year. However, the XLT and Lariat give you some that Ranger fans have long awaited, a twin-turn V6. And it’s a doozy, too, churning up 315 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. The all-new Ranger Raptor is even more powerful, with a 405-horsepower V6 to help you power through off-road terrain.
You’ll also love the Ranger’s Terrain Management System. Standard with the FX4 Off-Road package, the system lets you adjust suspension settings to your surroundings. Driving modes include Normal, Eco, Sport, Tow/Haul, Slippery, Mud/Ruts, and Sand.
The available 2024 Ranger powertrain options include:
- Standard turbocharged 2.3L four-cylinder engine (270 horsepower, 310 lb-ft of torque)
- Optional twin-turbo 2.7L V6 (315 hp, 400 lb-ft of torque)
- Raptor 3.0L V6 (405 hp, 430 lb-ft of torque)
- 10-speed automatic transmission
- Rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive
Which features are available for the 2024 Ford Ranger?
The redesigned Ranger takes a leap into the future with its cutting-edge convenience features. For instance, the new SYNC 4 infotainment system offers voice activation and a vertically oriented 12.4-inch touchscreen interface. The system includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. You can also upgrade your truck with options like the 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system and built-in navigation.
These midsize trucks are big on work-friendly features. In all but the base XL model, an in-bed outlet generates 400 watts so you can charge your phone or cordless drill. The XLT and up also come standard with LED bed lighting to help you organize your cargo. Another work-friendly feature, Zone Lighting, is available to light up every angle of your truck, making it safer to load or unload cargo at night. An available integrated box-side step gives you a boost when you want to hop into the truck bed.
You can now add Ford’s Pro Trailer Backup Assist system to your Ranger. Available for the XLT and Lariat, this technology lets you back a trailer in the desired direction via a handy knob on the dash. You can also add a trailer brake controller to your truck, helping you make a smoother stop with a heavy trailer in tow. The trailer brake controller is standard for the rugged Raptor trim and optional for the XLT and Lariat.
When can you build a 2024 Ford Ranger?
The 2024 Ranger is available to order right now! These redesigned midsize trucks will begin rolling off the assembly line at Ford’s plant in Wayne, Michigan later this summer.
