The 2023 Ford Ranger is finally here. Head to Signature Ford to order yours! But, before you do, check out our buying guide, where we answer your frequently asked questions about this all-star midsize truck.
Why choose the 2023 Ford Ranger?
Ford’s midsize truck is quick, strong, and modern. And it also delivers a tow-friendly performance, rich interior comfort, and a wealth of tech gear at a very attractive price!
How powerful is the 2023 Ford Ranger?
Every Ranger features the same muscular powertrain:
- Turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine (270 horsepower, 310 lb-ft of torque)
- 10-speed automatic transmission
- Rear-wheel drive
- Optional four-wheel drive
Thanks in part to its sturdy engine, this midsize truck can haul more than its competitors, with maximum payloads of up to 1,905 pounds. You can also tow your biggest toys — for instance, a pair of wave runners or a small fishing boat — thanks to the Ranger’s max tow rating of up to 7,500 pounds.
Four-wheel drive is available for every Ranger, but you can take off-road performance even further with the Tremor Off-Road package:
- 32-inch all-terrain tires
- Off-road-specific Fox shocks
- 0.8 inch extra ground clearance
- Underbody protection
- Side steps
- Auxiliary switches for aftermarket accessories
Which 2023 Ford Ranger trim model is best?
Since the answer to this question will vary from driver to driver, let’s take a look at the best aspects of each of the Ranger’s three trim models: the base XL, mid-range XLT, and leather-clad Lariat.
If you’re looking for the best price on a new Ranger, don’t skip the XL. The entry-level trim model is also handsomely equipped with modern features, including:

- Optional 101A package (with SYNC 3 infotainment, dual-zone automatic climate control, six-speaker sound system)
The XLT builds on the XL and its optional features with even more to love:
- 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels
- SYNC 3 with 8-inch touchscreen
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Optional 301A package (with leather-wrapped steering wheel, 110-volt power outlet, rear parking sensors)
- Optional 302A package (with remote ignition, power-adjustable, heated front seats, manual-sliding rear window)

Luxury is never in short supply in the Ford Lariat. This Ranger adds to the XLT and the 302A package contents with:
