The 2023 Ford Ranger is a significant improvement over previous models, as Ford Motor Company went above and beyond to build a truck that exceeds driver expectations. Let’s examine the new model’s performance, features, appearance, and other attributes to discover what makes the truck desirable.
Engine & Transmission
The Ranger comes standard with a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. For better power capabilities, including torque, towing, payload, and off-road capabilities, the 3.0L V6 turbodiesel is an option—giving you more flexibility in choosing your setup. The standard drivetrain setup is rear-wheel drive, but depending on trim, you can choose between part-time or full-time four-wheel drivetrain setups. New driver transmission options include a six-speed manual or an upgraded 10-speed automatic.
Towing & Payload Capacity
The Ranger 2022 has a payload capacity of 1,905 pounds and a towing capacity of 7,500 pounds. It is expected that the 2023 model to have slightly higher payload and towing capabilities.
Cargo Space
The 2023 Ranger has an updated frame from the previous year, providing users with more cargo and storage space. The wheelbase is 50 mm longer, and the track is 50 mm wider, making it easier for workers to fit their tools, equipment, essential items, and larger objects in the truck’s bed.
