2026 Ford Ranger Specs

Reviewing the 2026 Ford Ranger specs reveals a versatile midsize pickup that's engineered to handle your toughest tasks and weekend adventures. With multiple EcoBoost turbocharged engines, 2WD or 4x4 drivetrains, and an array of optional all-terrain equipment and technology, the Ranger is a well-rounded pickup that's designed for your daily needs.

We've compiled a detailed guide to the 2026 Ford Ranger specs, including its powerful engines, efficient MPG, robust towing capabilities, off-roading prowess, and four unique trim levels.

Ford Ranger Engine Options

The new Ford Ranger comes with a choice of three engines across its four trim levels. The first is the standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, which delivers 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque.

A 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6, available on the XLT and Lariat, increases output to 315 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. This is an excellent choice for drivers who desire more power without a significant MPG penalty.

Finally, the high-output 3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6 is found exclusively under the hood of the Ranger Raptor. This engine produces 405 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Paired with the array of all-terrain and off-roading performance equipment that's standard or available on the Ranger Raptor, the 3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6 delivers thrills, whether you're blasting back roads or the local two-track trails.

Ford Ranger Towing Capacity

Regarding tow ratings, the Ranger offers a maximum trailering capacity of 7,500 pounds when it is properly equipped with the Trailer Tow Package. This high rating is achievable with either the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder base engine or the next-level 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6.

Truck buyers who opt for the extra-rugged and off-road-ready Ranger Raptor with the 3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6 will have a 5,510-pound maximum towing capacity when their pickup is properly equipped with its standard Trailer Tow Package.

Ford Ranger Off-Road Capabilities

When you're after a right-sized pickup with serious all-terrain capabilities, the Ranger has you covered. This highly customizable midsize truck can be optioned with a collection of off-roading equipment that makes it a worthy alternative to similarly capable Ford SUVs.

An optional 4x4 system gives you more grip when taking on a variety of road and trail surfaces, terrain, and weather conditions.

With the FX4 Off-Road Package, you can conquer the trails like a pro, thanks to included equipment such as Trail Control, off-road-tuned shocks, and an accompanying off-road screen.

For next-level off-road performance in your Ranger, opt for the Raptor, the top version that's built for adventure. This configuration treats you to the following equipment:

• Flared front fenders and pickup box outers, giving the Ford Ranger exterior a broader, more menacing look
• Vented hood
• 4x4 drivetrain
• All-terrain tires wrapped around 17-inch wheels (beadlock-capable wheels available)
• Locking front and rear axles
• 2.5-inch FOX™ Racing Shocks with Live Valve Technology
• Trail Control
• Watts-link rear suspension
• Electronic-locking front and rear differentials

Ford Ranger MPG Ratings

Thanks to its family of Ford EcoBoost engines and accompanying 10-speed automatic transmission, the Ranger delivers potent performance that's matched with impressive efficiency. You've already learned about the superb output these powertrains can deliver, so now let's look at the equally excellent Ford Ranger MPG ratings.

With standard 2WD and the 2.3-liter EcoBoost base engine, this midsize pickup produces up to an EPA-estimated 21/25 MPG (City/Highway).¹ When opting for 4WD, this powertrain adjusts gas mileage to an EPA-estimated 19/24 MPG (City/Highway).¹

Select the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 and 4WD for an EPA-estimated 18/23 MPG (City/Highway).¹ Even the all-powerful Ranger Raptor, with its extra-potent 3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6 and all-terrain tires, manages to return up to an EPA-estimated 16/18 MPG (City/Highway).¹

If you are in the market for a new or used Ford/ vehicle I would highly recommend Tom Wood Ford. Tyler was extremely knowledgeable about the vehicles he had available as well as the features of the vehicles. I purchased a new Ford Ranger and received the best experience I have ever had shopping for vehicles. In my opinion you are doing yourself an injustice if you don't stop in and see what they can do for you while shopping for a vehicle. I'm so glad I did. No pressure was ever put on me at anytime by anyone at this dealership, and I truly appreciated that. Thank You again Tyler and staff.
