Why it stands out

The 2023 Ford Ranger sits in the middle of the fourth-generation truck’s run, and it stands out as a capable midsize pickup that was built to do real work. Ford gave this generation the highest payload capacity of any midsize pickup truck at the time, and when properly equipped it could tow up to 7,500 pounds. It also offered rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, which helped make it useful both on the road and off it.

What makes the 2023 Ranger especially appealing is that it pairs that capability with a straightforward setup. It came only as a SuperCab or a four-door SuperCrew, and it used a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine with 270 horsepower and a 10-speed automatic transmission. Ford also made active-safety features available, including Co-Pilot 360 and adaptive cruise control, although none of them were standard. The cabin was basic by modern standards, with an optional eight-inch Sync3 screen and a 4.2-inch LCD on base trucks, and the interior design was described as looking like it came from the late 2000s.

That simplicity is part of the Ranger’s appeal, but it also points to its limitations. The truck looked plain inside and out, and the base XL trim came with few modern conveniences. Even so, the 2023 Ranger was praised as an adept work truck, and its combination of strong mechanicals, respectable fuel efficiency of up to 23 mpg combined, and relatively affordable used pricing compared with some rivals makes it a practical choice for buyers who want capability without moving up to a full-size pickup.
