In 2024, we saw an all-new generation of the impeccable Ford Ranger. As a result, we don’t expect to see much in the way of changes for 2025, but we don’t yet know for certain. The Ranger is scheduled for release in late 2024—until then, let’s take a look at this truck's many current features so you get an idea of what to expect.
Key Takeaways:
- There is not an official release date for the 2025 Ford Ranger as of this writing.
- In 2024, the Ranger entered a new generation, so we suspect this year’s model will have no large changes
- There may be a hybrid Ranger on the horizon!
What’s New in 2025 for the Ford Ranger?
With all the significant updates and the introduction of a new generation of the Ford Ranger in 2024, we don’t expect many changes for 2025. Whatever shifts happen will be minor tweaks at best. Ford may make updates to the exterior, tech, or interior, but there’s no word as of yet to what those changes will be. We’ll keep you posted on any new news!
Is This the Year of the Hybrid for the 2025 Ford Ranger?
Rumor has it there might be a Ford Ranger Hybrid in the works, but we don’t yet know if it will make an appearance in 2025 or the following year. Engine power will likely come in the form of the current 2.3-liter turbo-four engine with the addition of an electric motor and paired with 10-speed automatic transmission.
What's not yet clear yet is if it will be a PHEV with a large battery that would allow for EV-only driving. Stay tuned!
How Much Can the 2025 Ford Ranger Tow?
Aside from a possible hybrid or PHEV, everything else should remain the same engine-wise. Currently, there’s the standard 2.3-liter turbocharged I-4 delivering a respectable 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. You also have the option to take things up a notch with a 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 cranking out 315 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. All engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, with the option of RWD and 4WD models.
Maximum towing capacity for the 2025 Ford Ranger should also remain the same—properly equipped pickups can tow up to 7,500 pounds and haul up to 1,805 pounds. If the eager-awaited long-bed Ranger arrives in ‘25, even more payload capacity is rumored.
The crew cab and 5-foot bed configuration of 2024 will also remain for 2025, allowing all occupants plenty of space. The bed currently measures 59.6 inches long and 48.2 inches wide. If a new extended-cab makes an appearance, however, some of that interior space will dwindle.
What Tech Features Are Seen From the 2025 Ford Ranger?
Tech-wise, all trims in the lineup were updated in 2024. Lower-trims received a 10.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, while higher-end versions got a 12.0-inch unit. In both instances, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included and over-the-air updates to software became standard. Needless to say, these updates will also remain.
Currently, the Ranger’s Base model has an 8.0-inch digital gauge display, while the upper trims feature a 12.4-inch digital cluster. USB charging ports are standard,and there’s an available wireless charging pad, the option of a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system and a 360-degree camera.
When Will You See the 2025 Ford Ranger?
In short, we don’t know. It’s scheduled to make an appearance by the end of this year, but that can change at any moment. If you're interested in what will be an exciting addition to Ford’s pickup arsenal, contact us for updates on its arrival!
