The all-new Ranger model promises advancements in both aesthetics and technology, and it does not disappoint. Join us as we dive into the new features and capabilities that make the 2024 Ford Ranger a standout in its class.

A Visual Delight

The 2024 Ford Ranger sports an Azure Gray Metallic exterior that gleams magnificently under the sunlight, thanks to its metal flakes. Added pinstripes offer an extra touch of flair, while the front end captivates with LED headlights and C-shaped accent running lights. The bold chrome Ford logo, black grille, and 17-inch gray painted aluminum wheels contribute to its rugged yet sophisticated look. This vehicle screams adventure with its FX4 off-road package, which includes off-road tires and upgraded suspension.

Powerful Under the Hood

Underneath the exquisite exterior lies a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission, ensuring a smooth yet powerful driving experience. With a 128-inch wheelbase, the Ranger provides both stability and agility, making it perfect for various terrains. Additionally, the vehicle comes with a comprehensive set of warranties, including a three-year, 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, a five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty, and five-year, 60,000-mile roadside assistance.

Interior Comfort and Utility

Step inside, and you’ll find a well-designed interior boasting cloth seats with gray stitching and a ribbed texture for added grip. The rear seats are not just comfortable but also practical, featuring options to fold up for additional storage or fold flat to keep the seats clean while transporting items. Tech enthusiasts will appreciate the USB-A and USB-C chargers and a three-prong house outlet for added convenience.

Tech-Savvy Dashboard

The dashboard of the Ford Ranger is a tech-lover’s dream. A large vertical screen supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing you to make calls, send texts, and navigate effortlessly. There’s also a sketch pad for some creative downtime and various apps to customize your experience. Heated front seats ensure comfort during those colder months, while wireless charging and multiple USB ports keep your gadgets powered up.

Drive Modes and Safety Features

The 2024 Ford Ranger is equipped with various drive modes, including normal, eco, sport, tow/haul, slippery, mud/ruts, and sand, ensuring optimal performance in any condition. Lane Keep Assist, blind-spot monitoring, and cross-traffic alerts enhance your driving safety, making it a reliable partner on the road. The rearview camera with projected lines and sensors makes parking a breeze, ensuring peace of mind even in crowded areas.
