The 2024 Ford Ranger and Raptor are setting new benchmarks in the midsize truck segment, offering a blend of power, design, and technology that stands out in a crowded market. Here are five ways these models are making an unprecedented impact:
1. Technological Leap and Design Revamp
The 2024 Ford Ranger has undergone significant updates, particularly in technology and design. Its predecessors, while competent, lacked the modern touch that the 2024 model brings. The new Ranger features a sophisticated infotainment system, Sync 4A, replacing the outdated Sync 3.
This system is displayed on a 10.1-inch or optional 12-inch touchscreen, offering a quantum leap in user experience. The interior design is refreshed, making the cabin feel more contemporary. Externally, the Ranger abandons its forgettable looks for a bolder style, aligning more closely with Ford’s truck family aesthetic.
2. Power and Performance
Under the hood, the 2024 Ranger introduces exciting changes. While retaining its base 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, it now offers an optional 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6, a significant upgrade in power. This engine, shared with the Bronco, delivers 315 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, ensuring that the Ranger remains competitive in a segment dominated by V6 engines. With no weight gain in its new iteration, the Ranger promises enhanced performance, maintaining its edge in both fuel efficiency and capability.
3. Off-Road Prowess
For off-road enthusiasts, the 2024 Ranger does not disappoint. It features increased ground clearance, now at 9.3 inches for rear-drive models and 10.4 inches for 4WD versions, surpassing even the previous off-road focused Ranger Tremor. The truck also enjoys a wider track and a reconfigured suspension, improving stability and ride quality on rugged terrains. This combination of features ensures that the new Ranger is more than capable of handling adventurous off-road escapades.
4. Specialized Ranger Raptor Variant
The 2024 Ranger lineup is made even more exciting with the inclusion of the Ranger Raptor. This specialized variant is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, boasting an impressive 405 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. This makes it the most powerful gas-powered midsize truck on the market. The Ranger Raptor is equipped with a unique suspension setup designed for high-speed off-roading, ensuring it stands out in the midsize desert runner category.
5. Value for Money and Availability
Despite the numerous upgrades and enhancements, the 2024 Ranger offers great value. The base Ranger XL SuperCrew, for example, is priced competitively, considering the significant improvements over the previous models. The high-end Ranger Raptor, while pricier, sets new standards in performance and features for its class.
