5 reasons to buy the 2023 Ford Ranger
1. Great towing capacity
If you're shopping for a pickup truck, towing capacity is probably high on your list of must-haves. The 2023 Ford Ranger excels in this department—with the 270-hp 2.3L engine, the Ranger can tow up to an estimated 7,500 lbs when properly equipped.
2. Comfortable interior
The 2023 Ford Ranger seats four in a cabin that's roomy enough for all passengers to enjoy every ride. The front seats are cushy and supportive, with sufficient padding to keep you comfortable on long journeys. Road noise, wind, and bumps are reduced to a minimum, making for a quiet and cozy interior.
3. Lots of standard tech features
The 2023 Ford Ranger is equipped with various features that enhance the riding experience. The base XL model comes standard with a 3.5-inch display, Bluetooth® connectivity, and a USB port. A four-speaker system is also standard. If you opt for the XLT or the Lariat trim, you'll get an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity, satellite radio, and an extra USB port. Additionally, the 2023 Ranger has convenient driver-assistance features like forward collision warning, forward automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection.
4. Powerful engine
The 2023 Ford Ranger has one powerful and capable engine option: a turbocharged 2.3L four-cylinder. That engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, generating 270 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Plus, the 2023 Ranger can go from zero to 60 mph in a little under seven seconds (according to the manufacturer, when new)—good performance for a pickup truck.
5. Off-road capability
If you're looking for a vehicle you can drive off-road, the 2023 Ford Ranger has you covered. With the available all-wheel drive—as well as the available Tremor Off-Road package—the Ranger can conquer all types of terrain and overcome various obstacles on its path with ease. The off-road package includes higher ground clearance, FOX® shock absorbers, different off-road drive modes, skid plates, and underbody protection.
