Basics About the 2022 Ford Ranger
Turbo Power
Motivating the newest Ranger is Ford's robust 2.3L EcoBoost inline-four engine, which features a twin-scroll turbocharger that keeps turbo lag at a minimum. The engine makes the truck a leader in its class with its 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. The incredibly responsive and smooth 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission completes the drivetrain and delivers a ton of torque through the entire rev range thanks its wide gear ratios.
Off-Road Capability
Rangers equipped with the available 4x4 system become truly worthy off-roaders that can tackle the most rugged and technical trails. These models offer 8.9 inches of ground clearance, but that can be increased even more to 9.7 inches with the Tremor Off-Road package. This package also includes highly durable skid plates, suspension optimized for off-road performance, and tow hooks at the front and rear.
Ford's available Terrain Management System is capable of adapting to a variety of environments with the use of multiple drive modes, including modes for mud/ruts, grass/gravel/snow, and sand. There's also Trail Control, which helps the driver to focus on steering while it takes control of the throttle and brakes to keep the truck moving at a steady speed.
Towing and Utility
The Ranger is one of the best mid-sized trucks available when it comes to hauling heavy loads. The Trailer Tow package takes advantage of the truck's high-strength construction and turbocharged engine to provide a towing capacity of up to 7,500 pounds and includes 4/7-pin connector that allows you to hook up with a variety of equipment. Extra stability while towing on uneven surfaces or during high winds is provided by the Trailer Sway Control system.
The SuperCrew model comes with a 5-foot bed that can carry a payload of up to 1,818 pounds compared with the SuperCab's 6 feet and 1,905 pounds. Owners can also opt for the Bed Utility package, which adds a drop-in bed liner and 12-volt outlet.
Interior
Whether you choose the SuperCrew or SuperCab model, you'll enjoy a high-quality and spacious interior cabin. The SuperCrew model makes for a great family hauler with its five seats and two-full size rear doors. Dual-zone climate control and genuine leather upholstery are available for added comfort. Plenty of storage compartments can be found throughout the cabin, including space under the rear seating.
Infotainment
XLT and Lariat models come with an 8-inch LCD infotainment touchscreen that's available with Ford's SYNC 3 system. The system offers integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can access your favorite apps hands-free during your trip. Available FordPass Connect offers a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot that allows up to 10 devices to access the internet.
With such a great selection of features, the Ranger is one of the best values in its segment. Swift acceleration, strong off-roading performance, and a well-equipped interior—this one has it all! Visit Ganley Ford West today and take the 2022 Ranger out on a test drive!
