Whether you’re transporting a family, someone who loves to travel the great outdoors, looking for a good workhorse truck, or simply someone who wants a value-for-money vehicle that performs well, there are a number of reasons why the 2020 Ford Ranger is a good buy for you.
Comfort
The ride quality in this four-door small truck is smooth on paved roads with a secure cabin that eliminates most of the wind noise. Comfortably seating four adults or two adults with kids and pets, the well-padded seats give every passenger the support that they need on a long ride. Both the front and rear seats have plenty of room. The open bed in the rear has a large capacity for carrying goods.
Exterior Styling
The appearance of the 2020 Ranger matches Ford’s lineup due to its wide front grille. Often described as a good looking pickup truck, the Ranger is a sturdy athletic vehicle that comes with a variety of packages to improve its aesthetics. These include the Black Appearance Package with the classic accents in black, the Sport Appearance Package with a dynamic color magnetic and unique wheels available only on XLT and LARIAT models. Other packages available are the STX Appearance Package, the Chrome Appearance Package, and more. Whatever look you’re going for, there’s a Ford Ranger to suit you.
Interior Features
Depending on the model, the interior has either a 4.2-inch infotainment display or a 8-inch touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionalities. Bluetooth, a USB port, power features, air-conditioning, and automatic emergency braking are standard. As you look at the higher models, additional features are added, such as keyless ignition, dual-zone climate zones, and 17-inch aluminum wheels. The top of the range model also boasts premium audio and navigation.
The 2020 Ford Ranger has an impressive selection of available technologies like the Ford Co-Pilot360, the voice-activated SYNC 3, and the FordPass Connect app. Features include Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert and coverage for both the truck and trailer, Lane-Keeping System, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Auto High-Beam Headlamps, and a Rear View Camera.
Performance
The Ranger’s impressive performance capabilities outshine most of the competitors in its class. The turbocharged four-cylinder engine powerfully pushes out a 270-horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Reaching 0-60 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds, the pickup has the acceleration that is needed in all situations. The standard ten-speed automatic smoothly drops gears. Although classed as a small truck, the Ranger has a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 pounds, showing its strength and versatility. An optional four-wheel-drive system manages challenging trails.
The 2020 Ford Ranger is available in three trims. Entry-level is the XL with an available STX Appearance Package and the new FX2 Package. The XLT comes in the middle of the range, standard with the Ford Co-Pilot360 technology and available FX4 Off-Road Package, as well as an available Technology Package. Coming in at the top is the LARIAT with all of the bells and whistles. Whichever model you choose, you won’t be disappointed.
