Certain features like Active Park Assist 2.0, Enhanced Park Assist, and the 12-volt powerpoint in the cargo box have been removed from the 2025 Ranger lineup. Chrome rectangular running boards and the E-Shifter on Lariat trims are also no longer available.

The 2025 Ford Ranger continues to offer strong performance, advanced technology, and versatile off-road capabilities while updating its features to stay modern and competitive in the midsize truck segment.

The 2025 Ford Ranger is available in four distinct trim levels: XL, XLT, Lariat, and Raptor. Each trim is designed to meet different driving preferences, from daily city commuting to off-road adventures.

XL

The XL is the base trim level, equipped with a 2.3L EcoBoost® four-cylinder engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Key standard features include a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a six-speaker audio system, cloth seats, and 17" silver-painted aluminum wheels.

XLT

The XLT trim adds additional comfort and tech features, with the option to upgrade to the 2.7L EcoBoost® V6 engine. Standard features include an 8" Digital Instrument Cluster, a Vinyl Wrapped steering wheel, 17" Gray-Painted Aluminum Wheels, and 6-way manual passenger adjustable seats. For 2025, the Chrome Accent Package is available. The Black Appearance Package is also available to give the XLT and LARIAT a more aggressive look.

Lariat

The Lariat trim delivers a more premium experience, featuring a 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 12-speaker B&O® sound system, heated front seats, and a power-adjustable passenger seat. Additional features include 18" Machined-Aluminum wheels with Dark Pockets (LARIAT® Sport Pkg). The optional Black Appearance Package is available to give both the XLT and LARIAT a more sleek and aggressive look.

Raptor

The Raptor is the ultimate off-road trim, powered by a 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. It features advanced off-road capabilities, such as Fox Racing shocks, a terrain management system, and 33-inch all-terrain tires. Inside, the Raptor is equipped with a 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10-speaker B&O® sound system, and premium leather seats. Designed for serious off-road enthusiasts, the Raptor delivers peak performance on rugged trails.

2025 Ford Ranger Trim Levels and Key Features

Across its various trims, the 2025 Ranger incorporates a range of performance-enhancing features designed to adapt to both on-road and off-road challenges.

The 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine comes as the standard powertrain for the XL, XLT, and Lariat trims, ensuring balanced performance and reliability. In contrast, the 2.7L EcoBoost V6, available as an option for the XLT and Lariat, delivers enhanced power and is suited for those requiring stronger acceleration and higher torque.

The Raptor trim, with its 3.0L EcoBoost V6, is built for extreme off-road capabilities. It features a unique suspension system, including FOX™ Racing Shocks with Live Valve Technology, which adjust to various terrains for optimal comfort and handling. The Raptor also includes additional off-road drive modes—Baja, Off-Road, and Rock Crawl—for superior performance in rugged conditions.

2025 Ford Ranger Performance and Capability Features

The 2025 Ranger provides multiple drivetrain configurations and suspension setups to meet different driving environments.

Most trims come with a standard 4x2 configuration, although 4x4 with Electronic Shift-On-the-Fly (ESOF) is available for all trims, offering versatility in various conditions. This ESOF system allows drivers to switch between 2WD and 4WD as needed, making the Ranger adaptable for both highway cruising and off-road terrain.

The Ranger Raptor features a more advanced drivetrain, including an auto on-demand engagement 4x4 system with an electronic-locking front differential. This enhances the vehicle’s off-road capabilities by delivering additional traction when necessary, making the Raptor a formidable off-road performer.

Suspension setups vary across trims. The XL, XLT, and Lariat models feature a front independent suspension system with gas-charged shock absorbers and stabilizer bars for a balanced ride. The Raptor goes a step further with a Watts-link rear suspension for improved stability during high-speed off-road driving.

Selectable Drive Modes

All Ranger models come with Selectable Drive Modes, which include Normal, Eco, Slippery, Sport, and Tow/Haul. These modes adjust the vehicle’s performance and traction to match driving conditions, enhancing both control and fuel efficiency.

The FX4 Off-Road Package, available on XLT and Lariat, adds Mud/Ruts and Sand modes to better handle off-road situations. For the Raptor, the drive modes are expanded to include Baja, Off-Road, and Rock Crawl, maximizing off-road control and adaptability in rough terrains.

The 2025 Ford Ranger offers robust towing and payload capacities, making it suitable for various tasks, from work duties to recreational activities. When equipped with the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 engine and the available Trailer Tow Package, the Ranger can tow up to 7,500 pounds. Its maximum payload capacity reaches 1,798 pounds, depending on the configuration.

For drivers who choose the 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine, the Ranger offers a towing capacity of up to 7,500 pounds when equipped with the Trailer Tow Package, though the payload capacity varies slightly depending on the drive type.

The Raptor 4x4 with its 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine is optimized for off-road performance but offers a lower towing capacity of 5,510 pounds. While it trades some towing power for its off-road prowess, it remains a capable vehicle for lighter loads and hauling gear through rough terrains.

Payload Capacities

These capabilities make the 2025 Ford Ranger an excellent choice for a wide range of tasks. For those looking to optimize towing performance, utilizing a weight-distributing hitch and trailer brakes is recommended for improved handling and safety when hauling heavier loads.

The 2025 Ford Ranger strikes a balance between rugged functionality and modern design, delivering a bold exterior that’s as versatile as it is visually striking. Each trim level offers unique elements that help distinguish the Ranger on the road or trail while maintaining a cohesive design language across the lineup.

Front Design

At the front, the Ranger makes an immediate impression with its wide stance and signature dual power dome hood. The grille, fog lamps, and headlamps are tailored to each trim, ensuring a distinct look for every model. The XL features a black grille with a black mesh and center bar, while the XLT upgrades to a gray-painted grille with black mesh. For a more premium appearance, the Lariat adds a gray-painted grille with a central bar, while the off-road Raptor stands out with its bold "FORD" lettering and steel bash plate for extra protection.

Side Profile

The athletic stance of the Ranger is further emphasized by its high-beltline design and robust wheel options. Integrated box-side steps, available across the lineup, offer easy access to the cargo bed, enhancing functionality. From the 17-inch silver-painted aluminum wheels (with STX Pkg) on the XL to the 18-inch machined aluminum wheels with dark pockets (LARIAT® Sport Pkg) on the Lariat, the Ranger’s wheel options highlight its strength and versatility. The Raptor, designed for off-road enthusiasts, features 17-inch gray-painted aluminum wheels paired with (33") BFGoodrich® all-terrain T/A® KO3 tires, perfect for tackling rough terrain.

Rear Features

At the rear, the 2025 Ranger combines style with utility. The tailgate includes clamp pockets, a ruler, and even a stamped cupholder—small yet practical features that add to the truck’s everyday convenience. The power-locking tailgate also now features access caps, allowing for easy attachment of accessories. With a large cargo box providing 48.2 in. width between the wheelhouses, the Ranger offers ample space for hauling gear. The cargo area includes a 120-volt/400-watt AC power outlet, ideal for powering tools or recreational equipment, and integrated tie-downs to secure your load.

Trim-Specific Design

Each trim level of the 2025 Ranger brings unique exterior details:

Exterior Color Options for the 2025 Ford Ranger

Practical features like the overhead console and fold-flat rear bench seat continue to enhance the interior's versatility.

Lariat

The Lariat trim takes the interior to a more luxurious level with leather-trimmed seating surfaces in either Ebony or Sandstone. The front bucket seats are both heated and feature 10-way power adjustments for the driver (with memory function) and 8-way adjustments for the passenger. Ambient lighting adds a premium feel to the cabin, and 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster pairs with the larger 12-inch color LCD touchscreen for enhanced functionality. Additional conveniences include a power-sliding rear window, dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control, and a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Lariat also features a B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen® with 10 speakers, providing a premium audio experience.

As the performance-focused trim, the Raptor offers unique interior enhancements that reflect its rugged off-road capabilities. Seating surfaces are leather-trimmed with Miko® sueded inserts and feature distinctive Code Orange contrast stitching. The steering wheel is also heated and leather-wrapped, with Code Orange stitching and a center marker for off-road driving precision. The Raptor-specific all-weather floor mats and auxiliary upfitter switches further emphasize its off-road readiness. Like the Lariat, the Raptor includes the 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster and 12-inch center stack LCD touchscreen, delivering the latest technology and information at your fingertips.

The XL and XLT trims come equipped with a standard 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, offering smooth integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This ensures compatibility with most smartphones, providing easy access to apps, navigation, and media. Drivers will also appreciate the crisp, customizable displays from an 8-inch digital instrument cluster in both trims.

For those seeking more advanced features, the 12-inch touchscreen is available on higher trims like the Lariat and Raptor. This larger screen enhances the user experience with a split-screen feature, allowing for multitasking, and includes a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot to keep passengers connected during long trips.

For audiophiles, the higher trims, such as the Lariat and Raptor, offer the 10-speaker B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen®, providing premium sound quality throughout the cabin, thanks to strategically placed speakers and a subwoofer. In addition, the wireless charging pad—available on all trims—enables hassle-free charging of compatible smartphones.

The navigation system, available on the XLT and Lariat trims, offers voice-activated controls and real-time traffic updates, making for smoother, more informed driving. The Lariat trim also features a luxurious panoramic sunroof, offering a more open and airy feel to the cabin.

All models are equipped with Ford's SYNC 4A system, which ensures that drivers have access to the latest technology, including over-the-air updates, keeping the system up to date without requiring dealership visits.
