The 2024 Ford Ranger is lastly right here, and it guarantees to be far more aggressive than the dated Ranger that Ford was promoting earlier than. Even higher, we truly get the Ranger Raptor this time round. It might not have a V8, however we’ll take a twin-turbo V6 when it makes 405 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. And now, the configurator is stay, so you possibly can mess around with the Ranger to determine the one good spec only for you.

Curiously, if you choose the Raptor, there actually aren’t any choices. You possibly can add just a few equipment, together with a bedliner that looks as if a necessity, however past that, it’s simply paint and wheels. Ford affords 9 paint choices on the Raptor, however solely three are precise colours. We’re keen on the Shelter Inexperienced Metallic, though Velocity Blue Metallic additionally appears fairly darn good. Additionally, for an extra $1,495, you possibly can improve to beadlock-capable wheels.

Should you step all the way down to the common Ranger lineup, you’ll discover that regardless that Ford mentioned a 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 that makes 315 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque is an possibility, it’s not accessible on the configurator. If the two.3-liter isn’t highly effective sufficient for you, you’ll have to attend till “late fall 2023.” Additionally, the Shelter Inexperienced Metallic paint that we talked about earlier seems to be a Raptor unique as a result of it’s not an possibility on the common Ranger.

The XLT appears prefer it’ll in all probability be the most well-liked trim degree, however for those who haven’t been keeping track of truck costs recently, you could be shocked at how expensive they’ve gotten. If you would like four-wheel drive on an XLT, you’re taking a look at a worth of slightly below $40,000. In the meantime, a four-wheel-drive Ranger Lariat is barely about $1,000 lower than a Chevrolet Colorado ZR2.
