2020 Ford Ranger Review
Playing with trucks seemed like a fantasy when you were young, but now you “play” with trucks every day for business. But instead of tinkering with an older truck, how would you like to make work fun again and play in a new 2020 Ford Ranger? Drive your old rig down to World Ford Pensacola from Pensacola, Crestview, or Fort Walton Beach to see the line of fun, but rugged and unstoppable Ranger models.
Flirt with the Engine
The 2.3L EcoBoost® engine with Auto Start-Stop Technology ponies up 270 horsepower with 310 lb-ft of torque to emphasize that it isn’t playing when it starts up. Paired with the class-exclusive 10-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission that makes smooth moves between gears, it brings you childlike glee with its get-up-and-go. A fuel economy of EPA-estimated 21 city/26 highway MPG rounds out its performance.
Toying with Towing
Hook up your trailer or boat to the trailer hitch, and let’s go! The Ford Ranger boasts a towing capacity of up to 7,500 pounds, so no need to hesitate. With the best-in-class payload of 1,860 pounds, you can pack up your truck and the bed with enough supplies, so you don’t have to turn around for round two.
Take on Terrain Like Child’s Play
Did your toy truck easily plow through sand, mud, and the overgrown carpeting in your parents’ living room? Probably, and so does the Ford Ranger. If you opt for the available FX4 Off-Road package, your truck comes equipped with the Terrain Management System™, which provides four different driving modes including Normal, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud/Ruts, and Sand. Without a thought, the system shifts when it needs to and works to optimize your drive and traction.
To further bulldoze through tough terrain, Trail Control™, also included in the package, streamlines your truck to maintain speed and control over the earth beneath your tires. Your tires won’t get stuck, either, if pebbles transition into a mire of mud. The electronic locking rear differential locks the rear axle when it needs some extra traction on sticky surfaces.
Tech You Can Play With
An exciting adventure can play out on your dashboard with the technology options it features. Be the master of your truck with available Sync® 3 AppLink®. It works with your smartphone through Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, so you can play music, stream apps, and send messages. Give it directions through the sound of your voice using the available Navigation System and watch it all on an 8-inch touchscreen.
Add on another app that will speed up your day, so you can play all night. The FordPass Connect™ app lets you control your truck remotely, so you can start your vehicle before you hop in and lock or unlock it using the app installed on your phone. It even locates available parking before you reach your destination and helps compare fuel prices at stations while you drive here, there, or anywhere.

Blast your past into the present and make work fun again with the 2020 Ford Ranger. If you need a truck to travel through Pensacola, Crestview, and Fort Walton Beach, head on down to World Ford Pensacola for a test drive.
