The Ford Ranger returned to the American market last year after an eight-year absence, with the midsize pickup truck still being hugely popular worldwide during that time. The 2020 model comes with many new features, making the Ranger one of the most reliable and comfortable trucks on the market today.
A Wide Variety of Trims and Configurations
There are many ways in which you can configure the 2020 Ford Ranger so it can suit your exact needs. There are two cab configurations available: the extended cab with a 6-food bed and a crew cab with a 5-foot bed.
After deciding which cab length is right for you, there are three trim levels to choose from: XL, XLT, and Lariat. Even the basic XL trim is a very well-equipped vehicle, with features such as 16-inch steel wheels, automatic headlights, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and modern active safety systems. There are also two feature packages available, the 101A and the Co-Pilot 360, which add extra comfort and safety features. Higher trims being even more features, such as alloy wheels, an 8-inch touch screen interface, exterior esthetic enhancements, LED headlights, leather upholstery, and a great-sounding 10-speaker sound system, among others.
Great Power and Performance
All 2020 Ford Ranger trims come equipped with the same engine, a versatile 2.3-liter four-cylinder that can produce up to 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. All that power is smoothly transmitted down to the wheels with the help of a 10-speed automatic transmission. This engine manages to propel the Ranger to a speed of 60 miles per hour from a complete standstill in only 6.8 seconds, a time that ‘s better than many much smaller and lighter sedans and compact cars. Adding the FX4 off-road package will enhance the Ranger’s performance on rough terrains.
Amazing Interior Space and Comfort
No matter what cab configuration you decide on, you’re likely to be impressed with the 2020 Ranger’s large cabin. The seats are spacious and easy to get in and out of irrespective of your size, while the wide-opening doors make getting in and out a breeze. All the materials used throughout the interior are good quality and pleasant to touch, with small storage space and buttons for the most important functions all around the cabin. Smartphone connectivity is also easily achievable, through Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, and USB ports.
Modern Safety Features
With midsize pickup trucks often being used as family vehicles, safety is definitely the number one priority for many drivers. The 2020 Ranger comes with many modern and useful active safety systems designed to alert the driver of any potential danger and even help with avoiding it. Some of them are the forward and reverse sensing system, alerting the driver of any objects in the front and rear of the vehicle, the automatic emergency braking system, and the lane-keeping system.
Pickup trucks are very popular nowadays, mainly due to their versatility. The 2020 Ford Ranger is clear proof of that, with a multitude of trims and configurations to suit your every need, great comfort and safety levels, as well as a comfortable and modern cabin.
