The Ford Ranger may be considered a midsize truck, but it offers a large amount of value when you consider its long list of features. Check out a few of the top features you are sure to enjoy on the 2020 Ford Ranger:

1. Durable Design

You might have heard the Ford slogan, Built Ford Tough, a few times. This phrase is much more than a slogan, it is a baseline for how Ford’s trucks are designed. The Ford Ranger design is consistent with this motto, designed to undergo conditions of all types. 

The 2020 Ford Ranger has been tested on the toughest of terrain, as well as in both extreme heat and cold conditions. Whether you use your Ford Ranger to explore off-road, or you need a truck to keep up with you at work, you can count on it to last. Despite being designed for optimal performance and durability, the Ford Ranger is also visually appealing, standing out from its competitors on the road with modern accents and high-strength steel materials.

2. Trail-Rated Performance

The durable design of the Ford Ranger also attributes to its smooth performance. Designed with an independent front suspension system and parabolic rear leaf springs, the Ranger will effortlessly tackle difficult roads, without exposing you and your passengers to a bumpy ride. Brand-new performance packages are also available on the 2020 Ranger, which allows drivers to customize their trucks to meet their individual needs.

The advanced Terrain Management System lets you swap between four drive modes. Easily shift on the go to accommodate roads as they come at you. With the driver-activated cruise control system, you can take your adventures off-road.

3. Powerful Engine

You need power that will keep up and the Ford Ranger will not disappoint. It is powered by a 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine with 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. The Ranger comes standard with rear-wheel drive, but many drivers choose to upgrade to four-wheel drive. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, designed with Ford-patented technologies, you can expect a smooth, efficient drive. 

With the 4X4 electronic shift-on-the-fly, swapping between gears is also easy, and has two four-wheel-drive modes available, including a low or high version.

4. Technology-Designed Safety

It doesn’t matter if you are towing to the campsite or transporting work equipment between jobs, the Ford Ranger has plenty of features to keep you and your passengers safe. Equipped standard with Ford Co-Pilot 360, you can take advantage of features like a lane-keeping system, pre-collision assist, and a blind spot information system with cross-traffic alert.
