6 Reasons to Check Out the Ford Ranger

Many people who enjoy outdoor adventures want something compact that’s easy to navigate around in. That’s why the Ford Ranger is a smart choice, because it’s like the F-150’s smaller brother but just as capable of going off-road or pulling a camper behind it. The 2021 Ford Ranger comes with many enticing features that separate it from other vehicles in its class, and the following six are just a taste of what it has to offer.

1. Intuitive Terrain Management System

The available Terrain Management feature allows the Ranger to quickly optimize its traction and engine performance based on the type of surface you’re driving on. It can automatically switch between four different terrain modes with the push of a button to improve traction or wheel slip in different driving conditions.
 

2. A Fully Capable Powertrain

Offering both fuel efficiency and power, the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine is the best of both worlds. When this turbocharged engine is paired with the 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, it gives the Ranger both the performance and seamless shifting it needs to rule the road and beyond.
 

3. Spacious Off-Road Ground Clearance

When you’re driving on trails or over craggy terrain, it’s important that you have plenty of ground clearance, so that the underside of your vehicle is protected at all times. That’s why there are 8.9 inches of ground clearance offered with every Ranger 4×4 model. If you’d like to increase that, you can do so with the Tremor Off-Road package, which adds just under an additional inch, for a total of 9.7 inches of total ground clearance.

4. Focus on Steering With Trail Control

Trail Control is the perfect feature to have when you’re going over rugged or rocky terrain, as it perfectly manages your braking and throttle system so you don’t have to. This frees up your attention so you can focus more on steering and less on everything else.

5. An All-in-One Entertainment Suite

SYNC 3 is a voice-activated entertainment console found in the 2021 Ranger that connects you to the vehicle’s communication system. Not only can you connect your smartphone through Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, but you can also connect the system to your Amazon Alexa system to monitor and control devices within your home while you’re out and about.

6. Improved Suspension When Off-Road

When going over rugged terrain, a vehicle’s suspension is important. Without proper dampening, you’ll feel every bump along the way. That’s why Ford added an optimized front and rear suspension system in the Tremor Off-Road package, to ensure that every off-road adventure is a smooth and enjoyable one.
 
With a turbocharged engine, a full terrain management system, and all the off-road capability you could possibly handle, the Ford Ranger is truly a sight to behold.
