If you're thinking about a pickup designed for gritty worksites, daily errands, and occasional off-roading, consider the Ford Ranger. This handsome, muscular pickup has a list of impressive tough features that scores it major points among drivers, critics, and our entire Corydon, IN Heritage Ford team. Take the following tough features for examples.
Supreme handling and grip/traction come down to aggressive, precise engine/wheel torque. The Ford Ranger excels in this area, with a 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost gas engine producing 270 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque. Paired with a lightweight, rigid, high-strength steel frame, the Ford Ranger tows and hauls up to 7,500 pounds and 1,860 pounds, respectively.
Selectable TransmissionChoose between a fully automatic shift or semi-automatic shifting for more agile handling or sporty driving scenarios. Called SelectShift, this 10-speed automatic transmission optimizes gear progressions for precise up- and down-shifting that's quick and smooth. This technology is Ford-patented and class-exclusive, giving the Ford Ranger yet another performance advantage over the competition.
