7 Best Features of the 2021 Ford Ranger 

The 2021 Ford Ranger is a sturdy vehicle when the need arises and smooth when it matters most. It boasts a powerful engine with respectable towing and payload abilities, making it an ideal vehicle for pickup buyers. Here are seven of its best features:

1. Trendy Exterior  

The 2021 Ranger’s styling reflects its vast abilities. Ford provided three trims with this pickup truck, which can feature a five-foot bed with a four-door cab or a six-foot bed and two-door cab. It retains its previous appearance packages, the Chrome, Sport, and STX Appearance while adding two additional ones.  All trims come with a high suspension, large wheel arches, and sizeable bumpers. The new STX Special Edition Package gives you 18-inch, black-painted wheels.

If instead, you choose the Black Package, though, you’ll also be adding both black Ford ovals and dark box decals. Your vehicle’s final color relies on your sense of style! Its off-road package can customize it further with magnetic-painted wheels, a painted grille, and hood and body graphics (optional).

2. Performance

Under the hood, this Ranger features a standard turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder powertrain that produces 270 horsepower and 310-pound feet torque. The engine provides enough output to make the vehicle incredibly swift. A 10-speed automatic transmission shifts quickly and smoothly, offering a quiet ride even when driving in top gear.

When equipped with an optional towing package, it can tow up to 7500 pounds while payload capacities range from 1560 to 1860 pounds.

3. Riding and Handling 

The new Ford Ranger has a great suspension, making it hard to detect small bumps and potholes. The steering is sharp with light feedback, allowing you to enjoy driving even on narrow streets. Buyers can upgrade the wheels and suspension for more off-roading ability. But with it, your off-road adventures won’t take a hit. You can look forward to a wider vehicle stance, better ground clearance, and both front and rear suspension travel. Not to mention its all-terrain tires and six-switch auxiliary power pack.

4. Interior

Your interior depends on the model and cab you select. The 2021 Ranger’s interior offers several luxury levels, with the base trim having cloth upholstery while upper trims offer genuine leather in many colors. 

5. Seating Space

Two seating configurations are available, the SuperCrew cab is roomier, seats five people, and has four doors. The smaller SuperCab seats four and still comes with two half doors. Both are comfortable and all come with a Wi-Fi hotspot that can connect 10 devices. The seats are comfortably padded, well-shaped, and can comfortably accommodate passengers of all sizes. Ford provided spacious head and legroom, ensuring long journeys will be bearable in both front and back seats.

6. Storage

The Ranger provides two cargo bed options; the crew cab’s five-foot bed, which holds 43.3 cubic feet, and a more spacious six-foot bed in the extended cab. All models come with six tie-downs in the bed and a central locking system that incorporates the tailgate.

7. Infotainment 

It comes standard with a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 10 devices, a four-speaker audio system, and a USB port. Available features include Android Auto/Apple CarPlay compatibility, an eight-inch touch screen, satellite radio, and a ten-speaker Bang and Olufsen audio system.

The 2021 Ranger is an excellent pickup truck. It is one of the most well-rounded, capable vehicles and a perfect-fit for truck buyers. It has enough power and storage space for a family adventure outside the city and an appealing look for a short drive to the mall.
