A Quick Guide to the 2021 Ford Ranger

The most popular midsize truck with a solid performance is the 2021 Ford Ranger. This pickup has the power and size to handle any workload without sacrificing fuel efficiency and looks powerful both at home and on the road. Trucks are often built for work and not comfort, but the 2021 Ranger has received a lot of design elements in its interior to make the cabin features one of its greatest draws.

Innovative Driver Safety Systems

Ford prioritizes safety in all of its vehicles, but none more so than the 2021 Ranger. Its plethora of standard and available driver-aids make driving this truck both safer and easier. Its sensors and warnings keep the driver informed of every potential hazard or obstacle, helping to minimize accidents. The base model comes standard with automatic emergency braking which allows the Ranger to automatically slow itself down to prevent a front-end collision. Other trim levels come standard with blind-spot monitoring, automatic high beams, and rear cross-traffic alert. The blind-spot monitoring is especially useful when towing, as it takes the full length of your trailer into account.

Always Trail-Ready

Rear-wheel drive comes standard on the 2021 Ranger, which is more than suitable for most drivers and their daily work. All-wheel drive is an available upgrade for drivers who intend to find themselves on rougher roads more often than occasionally. Especially adventurous drivers may be interested in various off-road packages which optimize the Ranger’s performance in extreme conditions. These packages include a locking rear differential, a unique and advanced suspension system, and aggressive tires with more durable tread. Ford’s Terrain Management System is also available and is uniquely suited to increase traction and provide better handling when it comes into contact with sand, snow, mud, ruts, gravel, or grass.

Trim Levels and Pricing

Trucks require a vast amount of mechanical components and intricate machinery to make sure they are durable and strong. This type of engineering typically results in more expensive vehicles, which explains why trucks are often pricey. Ford’s workmanship and innovative technology make the Ranger just as powerful as its competitors, but with a more affordable pricing structure.

This truck’s affordability and impressive features make it one of the best values in this segment. The 2021 Ranger is made in three available trims. The XL starts at $24,820, the XLT starts at $28,870, and the Lariat starts at $32,910. Each of these models is built with a 2.3-liter, 4-cylinder turbocharged engine and pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission. All of the 2021 Ranger’s advantages put it at the top of the leaderboard for midsize pickup trucks. This vehicle should certainly be at the top of the list of any consumer looking for a truck in this class. With a wide range of packages, options, and features, buyers are sure to find a trim level and price point that suits their needs.
