3 Reasons Drivers Choose the 2025 Ford Ranger

The 2025 Ford Ranger has something for everyone. It has a solid carrying and towing capacity, making it perfect for work or a road trip. It is Ford Tough, combining strength, durability, and reliability with the ability to take on and overcome any challenge. In addition, you can easily and affordably add powerful off-road capability for when you want to conquer the great outdoors. We want to give you a few reasons why drivers love the Ranger.

Powerful Engines

The Ranger offers two engines that prove size isn’t everything. The standard Ranger engine is the 2.7L EcoBoost V6, with 315 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, while the available 3.0L EcoBoost V8 pushes out 405 HP and 430 lb-ft of torque. When you pop the hood, you’ll be amazed at how Ford’s EcoBoost technology compresses such power into relatively small packages.

EcoBoost technology uses turbocharging, direct fuel injection, and variable camshaft timing to produce more efficient, carefully controlled combustion. This increased efficiency allows engine designers to reduce engine size and weight while providing more bang for your buck. In addition, EcoBoost engines use less fuel, reducing trips to the pump. Both engines are paired with 10-speed automatic transmissions.

Serious Offroad Capability

The Available FX4 Off-Road Package takes your Ranger to the next level of off-road capability. Toughed skid plates protect the underside of your truck against damage from rocks or other debris. The standard shocks are replaced by specially tuned off-road shocks to absorb the impact of driving over the roughest terrain.

A rear differential locker is installed, improving traction by splitting power between the rear wheels. Two additional driving modes, Mud/Ruts and Sand, are available to control engine power and improve traction on these surfaces. Hill Descent Control gives you enhanced control over your speed when driving downhill. Finally, a dedicated off-road screen gives you enhanced information on your Ranger’s pitch, roll, and steering angle.

Carrying and Towing Capacity

One of the reasons to choose a truck is to carry or tow heavy loads. The Ranger can carry up to 1,850 pounds in its bed and tow up to 7,500 pounds with ease. If you choose the all-wheel drive (AWD) option, the carrying capacity is slightly reduced to 1,711 pounds due to the additional weight of the AWD.

The best way to experience everything the Ranger has to offer is to take it for a test drive. Contact us today at Lundgren Ford in Eveleth, MN.
