When it comes to brawn, Ford knows how to do it right. You can see that in the 2024 Ford Ranger, as it’s a tough truck with a whole lot of capability. When you stop by your Ford dealer to check out the Ranger, you’ll also find it’s packed full of the latest technology that keeps it feeling modern and sophisticated as well as tough.
Toughness Meets Tech at the Ford Dealer: 4 Impressive Features of the 2024 Ford Ranger
1. Strong Available Engines
Looking for a really strong ride? If you equip your Ranger with the available EcoBoost V6 engine, then you’re getting one of the toughest Rangers possible. With 315 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 delivers a powerful ride and is very capable.
Those of you who want something slightly tougher will like the 3-liter version of this engine, which delivers 405 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. This engine is exclusive to the Raptor, which is the Ranger model designed to be a tough off-roading truck. As well as having the strongest engine, the Raptor also has Baja mode to help with driving in the dunes.
2. Pro-Trailer Backup Assist
You can tow up to 7,500 pounds with the Ranger, so you’ll need some features to make it safer and easier. Pro-Trailer Backup Assist helps you when you’re backing up while attached to a trailer. When you hitch up a trailer, you can go through a process to calibrate it with your truck, and the system will store the calibration data for up to 10 separate trailers.
The system has a knob that lets you steer the trailer independently of your car, allowing you a lot of control when you’re reversing.
3. Trailer Brake Controller
Trailer Brake Controller lets you apply your trailer’s brakes when you’re stopping the car. This gives you a whole lot more control over your heavy loads. The feature is standard on the Raptor, and you can choose to equip it on the XLT and Lariat models. The two towing assistance features are great examples of how technology and toughness go hand in hand.
4. Off-Road Ready Features
People who love hitting the trails should opt for the Ranger Raptor. Not only does it have a strong 3-liter engine, but it has several other features that help with hitting the trails. Ford Trail Control is standard. There are multiple drive modes you can choose between to optimize your truck’s performance. You can rapidly shift in and out of four-wheel-drive just by turning a dial. An electronic-locking rear differential boosts traction on loose terrain.
