A Quick Guide to the 2021 Ford Ranger

It can be a challenge to find a pickup truck that isn’t too large or overwhelming. Often, they are inefficient and tough to navigate. Ford, however, has built a pickup to address these concerns. The 2021 Ford Ranger offers the power and capabilities of a super-duty truck but in a midsize and fuel-efficient body. This pickup is a solid performer, delivering the fuel economy and maneuverability drivers need without feeling too cumbersome.
 

Standard and Available Driver-Assist Systems

Driver-assist systems have certainly made a splash among vehicle lineups for the last few years. Drivers are looking for more help while driving and want to feel safer behind the wheel of any large vehicle. A variety of these safety features come standard throughout the models of the Ranger, and more advanced ones are available on higher trim levels..

Automatic emergency braking is a popular driver aid that is now standard on every Ranger model. This feature offers added support when the vehicle sensors detect that you may be coming too close in range to a vehicle or hazard in front of you. On higher trims, rear cross-traffic alert, automatic high beams, and blind-spot monitoring are included. The blind-spot monitoring is an especially helpful tool, even taking the length of a trailer into account when hitched up.
 

The Models of the 2021 Ford Ranger

Available in three different trims, the 2021 Ranger begins with the XL starting at $35,070 and the XLT starting at $29,120. The luxurious Lariat starts at $33,160. Part of what makes this midsize pickup such an attractive vehicle are these reasonable starting prices. The mechanical components and quality materials that are used in building trucks are intricate and expensive, making for higher price-point vehicles, but Ford has found ways of maintaining quality without sacrificing value.
 
Each model is powered by a stunning 2.3-liter turbocharged engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain delivers 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, and can haul up to 7,500 pounds.
 

Conquer Any Trail

The 2021 Ranger comes standard with rear-wheel drive, allowing for an upgrade to all-wheel drive for those drivers needing the extra traction and strength. Various off-road packages are also available, increasing the Ranger’s capabilities even more. These packages implement special suspension, a locking rear differential, and equip the truck with durable tires complete with rugged tread.
 
These added components can make a significant difference when taking on unpredictable roads in extreme weather or conditions. The available Terrain Management System is also available to add, further enhancing the off-roading experience by automatically adjusting the engine throttle and shifting precision. This system works to gain traction and improve handling, especially when driving through mud, gravel, sand, or snow.
