Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryWhile the 2026 Ford Ranger is mostly a carryover model, there are some new options and a new gray paint. The biggest news, though, is that the FX4 Off-Road Package is now available on even the base XL trim, adding features such as an electronic-locking rear differential, extra skid plates, off-road tuned shocks, and low-speed off-road cruise control. This makes off-road equipment more accessible but takes the manufacturer's suggested retail price over $40,000. Verdict: The Ford Ranger is a solid midsize truck, but unless buyers go all the way up to the Raptor trim, there isn’t anything that really helps it stand out from the crowd. And while we love the standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on a large vertical screen, we wish there were more advanced standard safety tech. The XL trim is great for a basic no-frills work truck, but shoppers need the XLT for a larger engine, heated seats, and more safety features. | |
