Power and Performance
The real strength of this new Ford truck is pulling power. The 2026 Ford Ranger comes standard with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost® I4 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, while an available 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 gives drivers more gas-powered strength for towing and hauling.

Available 4x4 capability helps this truck stay composed when pavement ends or weather shifts.
Technology Features
A standard 10-inch center display is offered on the XL trim, while a 12-inch center display is available on XLT and standard on Lariat. The cabin also offers an available 12.4-inch digital cluster, helping keep key vehicle information clear and easy to read. Available Ford technology features include Ford BlueCruise® hands-free highway driving on equipped models, while the FordPass® app adds convenient connected-vehicle functionality that helps drivers stay in touch with their truck.
Safety Features
There's a steady layer of awareness built into Ford Ranger. Ford Co-Pilot360® technology is standard, and available features can add even more confidence during long drives or changing traffic conditions. Depending on trim and equipment, drivers can also find features like Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Coverage, and a Lane-Keeping System working quietly in the background.
