Comparing Configurations and Trims

Deciding on the right Ranger configuration starts with understanding how you intend to use the truck. While some shoppers prioritize the towing and cargo capacity for work, others look for a versatile daily driver that fits into a garage in Cotati, CA or Sebastopol, CA.

You may also want to compare the Ranger against the larger Super Duty options if your primary goal is heavy-duty hauling. However, for most, the midsize footprint of the Ranger is ideal for balancing parking ease with genuine utility. We encourage you to look at our available inventory to see the different ways this model is equipped.

• The Ranger offers a rear-wheel drive platform that is optimized for efficiency and performance on paved roads and highway environments.

Your Final Model Fit Checklist

Before you finalize your decision, use this checklist to ensure the Ford Ranger meets your practical requirements. Think about your daily routine, from where you park to how you load your gear on the weekends.

First, test the seating comfort and visibility during your test drive. Make sure you are comfortable with the step-in height and that the controls are intuitive for your driving style. Check the cargo area to see if it accommodates your specific weekend gear or work equipment.

• Verify the rear-seat folding mechanism to ensure it provides the cargo space you need for your specific hobbies or work items.
• Measure your garage or parking spot to ensure the Ranger fits easily and leaves enough room for you to load and unload cargo.
• Test the driver-assist and safety features during your test drive, specifically paying attention to how they perform during highway merging or city parking.

Ask yourself if the 2.3L EcoBoost engine and 10-speed automatic transmission provide the driving feel you are looking for. Compare this against other models to ensure you are confident in your choice.
