A midsize truck with lots of power, the 2025 Ford Ranger is a great choice for daily hauling and rugged adventures. This model is not only powerful but also boasts a range of innovative features that can redefine your driving experience.
3 Innovative Features of the 2025 Ford Ranger
EcoBoost Engines
Each trim level of the 2025 Ranger gets power from one of three available EcoBoost engines. What makes this engine type special is the use of a turbocharger paired with twin-independent variable camshaft timing and direct fuel injection to provide impressive muscle with a smaller displacement. The result is plenty of power and outstanding fuel economy, a feature that makes the Ranger perfect for long-haul driving.
The truck’s standard powertrain uses a 2.3L EcoBoost engine with a net output of 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, as well as EPA estimates of 23 MPG combined, for a total driving range of 460 miles on a full tank. A 2.7L EcoBoost V6 engine is available on most trim levels and provides 315 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. The Ranger Raptor comes with a 405-hp 3.0L EcoBoost V6 with 430 pound-feet of torque.
SYNC 4A Infotainment
Infotainment stands at the core of every modern vehicle, and the 2025 Ranger comes with an innovative system designed to keep your preferred apps easily accessible. The SYNC 4A system is designed to learn from your habits, automatically placing the most used dash items at the top of the screen. It also has Adaptive Dash Cards that allow you to organize and optimize your experience with interactive cards rather than traditional menus.
You can set up cards to access the phone functions, start or pause songs, use the navigation system, and more. The system comes standard with a 10-inch center touchscreen, while a larger display is available on select trim levels. It also includes the AppLink, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and smartphone integration with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Available Trail Control
If you want a truck for off-road adventures, an innovative feature you’ll love on the Ranger is the available Trail Control. Part of the FX4 Off-Road Package and also available on select trims, this feature controls the truck’s acceleration and braking so that you can focus on steering. This feature can be activated at low speeds and helps navigate challenging situations, such as climbing steep slopes or driving over boulders and other large obstacles.
In addition to this feature, the FX4 Package also includes exclusive drive modes for sand, mud, and ruts. For extreme off-roading, you can’t go wrong with the Raptor trim that is tuned for performance driving and includes Rock Crawl and Baja drive modes.
