2021 Ford Ranger Review
The 2021 Ford Ranger is a well-rounded compact pickup truck that offers remarkable towing and hauling capacities, a robust engine, and plenty of exciting features.
Drivers in Pensacola, Crestview, and Fort Walton Beach can study more about the new Ranger with this 2021 Ford Ranger review from World Ford Pensacola.
Ranger Engine and Performance
The Ranger is equipped with a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that generates 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque and is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The engine has lively acceleration and plenty of power for urban driving and towing or hauling.
Few pickup trucks offer the road manners of the Ranger. The smooth handling makes it a dream for winding roads and tight curves, and passengers have plenty of comfort with the absorbent suspension. The Ranger is also a capable off-road vehicle, especially with the off-road-oriented trim levels that add features like skid plates, an off-road-tuned suspension, off-road tires, and crawl control. Correctly equipped, the Ranger can tow up to 7,500 pounds.
Ranger Interior
The Ranger is available in the SuperCab extended-cab model with a 6-foot bed or a SuperCrew crew-cab model with a 5-foot bed. The payload capacity ranges from 1,560 pounds to 1,860 pounds, which are class-leading numbers. The best payload comes with the SuperCab model and rear-wheel drive.
The SuperCab model can seat up to four people and the SuperCrew model can seat up to five people. The front seats are roomy and comfortable with a high seating position for the driver for excellent visibility. Both models offer plenty of headroom and legroom in the front and rear seats. Cloth upholstery is standard, but leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, and remote start are available for enhanced interior comfort.
Ranger Features and Technology
The base Ranger model starts with the SYNC® infotainment system. This system is intuitive and straightforward, but you can get more features with the upgraded SYNC® 3 infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come with the available SYNC® 3 system, which provide you with virtually endless options for music and entertainment. A premium sound system, HD radio, satellite radio, and navigation are optional.
Many safety features are standard for the Ranger, such as a rearview camera, automatic emergency braking, and Ford’s MyKey feature, which lets you set limits for the speed and sound volume for young and inexperienced drivers. Forward-collision warning is also standard, which forewarns you of possible frontal crashes. Cruise control, parking sensors, and rear cross-traffic alert with trailer coverage are available. Another optional feature is a lane-departure warning with lane-keep assist, which apprises you if you wander out of your lane and gently guides you back.
