A 2025 Ford Ranger driving on a dirt road.

Big-truck performance and power in a small package can only mean one thing, the Ford Ranger. With its bold design, efficient powertrain, and cutting-edge tech, the 2025 Ford Ranger is built for work, adventure, and everything in between. We bring you the lowdown on this new midsize truck.

Basics About the 2025 Ford Ranger

The new Ranger is a rugged pickup truck with the power to rival much larger competitors. Generating 315 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque is the secret to the Ranger’s outstanding performance: a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine. Ford also equips the Ranger with selectable drive modes to enhance handling and performance by adapting stability, engine, and traction to the terrain.


Unique Features

City-Friendly Design

Measuring just over 17.5 feet in length, the Ranger is the perfect companion for commuters and city dwellers. Its compact design makes navigating busy Salisbury streets and squeezing into tight parking spaces a breeze.

Every Ranger comes with a comprehensive suite of driver-assist functions to keep you and other road users as safe as possible. Standard features include a rearview camera and pre-collision assist with automatic braking.


Off-Road Ready

The Ranger is geared up for adventure thanks to its Built Ford Tough chassis and sturdy full-boxed steel frame. Smooth riding is guaranteed, as much of the punishment doled out by challenging terrain is absorbed by outboard-mounted rear shocks and an independent front suspension.

Opting for the FX4 Off-Road Package boosts the Ranger’s capabilities. This optional package gives you steel underbody bash plates and a Trail Control system that takes care of braking and acceleration while you focus on conquering the trail ahead.


Ranger Raptor

Thrill-seekers and off-road enthusiasts should upgrade to the Raptor, the most adventurous Ranger of all. Ford’s top trim swaps out the engine for a more powerful 3.0-liter V6 and a full-time 4×4 drive system, upping the output to 405 ponies and 430 pound-feet of torque.

Performance-enhancing elements also help improve the Raptor’s off-road prowess. A Watts-Link suspension system helps minimize side-to-side movement by stabilizing and centering the rear axle. FOX Live Valve 2.5-inch shocks are added to the front and rear. With multiple sensors continuously monitoring the terrain, these cutting-edge shocks use live valve damping technology to improve performance and handling, however rough the trail.

With its powerful engine, rugged body, and immense off-road abilities, the new Ranger is one of the most capable compact trucks on the market. Visit Cloninger Ford of Salisbury in Salisbury, NC today, and explore the most adventurous Ranger to date.
