Ford has long been known for providing drivers with vehicles that are suited to tackle any roadway, and the new 2021 Ford Ranger is designed to do just the same. Equipped to handle all your towing, hauling, and off-roading needs, the Ranger is unsurprisingly just as valuable at the campsite as it is at the worksite. Find out some of the Ranger’s best features that have buyers ready to take it out for a test drive.
Powerful EcoBoost Engine
While the Ranger offers only one engine, it’s a class-exclusive 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, the Ranger blows out the competition when it comes to torque. The engine outputs up to 310 pound-feet of torque and 270 horsepower. A twin-scroll turbocharger maximizes the energy and responsiveness of the engine, producing little to no lag.
Off-Road Capabilities
The 2021 Ford Ranger is designed with multiple features to help you better handle the off-road, no matter where your next adventure takes you. Designed to climb and clear rocky obstacles, the Ranger features 8.9-inch ground clearance on the 4×4 option. But drivers looking for even more clearance can opt for the Tremor Off-Road Package and get up to 9.7 inches of clearance.
Terrain Select Management System, available with the off-road and FX4 package, provides multiple driving modes, helping you navigate all types of terrain. Drive modes available include Normal, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud/Ruts, and Sand.
Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology
Safety is a top concern at Ford, and the Co-Pilot360 technology provides drivers with a suite of driver-assistance features to help reduce their risk of being involved in an accident. The blind spot information system with cross-traffic alert and trailer coverage enables you to see the vehicle’s areas where your vision is usually limited. If an obstacle is in your blind spot, you’ll be notified with audio and visual clues so you can correct your course before hitting the object. This system also makes hauling cargo a breeze, since your lack of visibility will be covered.
Other popular driver-assistance features included in the Co-Pilot360 technology include pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, a rearview camera, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with brake support, and a lane-keeping system.
Ford Pass Connect
Ford Pass Connect can help you stay connected and entertained during long road trips. It features a 4G LTE in-vehicle Wi-Fi hot spot that enables you to connect up to 10 devices simultaneously. The hot spot works for up to 50 feet from the vehicle, making it perfect when trying to stay connected during camping trips.
When using the Ford Pass Connect App, you will also be able to stay on top of your vehicle’s fuel levels and maintenance needs. The app also includes location services, remote start/stop, and remote locking and unlocking.
