Used 2020 Ford Ranger Crew Cab Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Ford Ranger is a midsize pickup truck available with two cab configurations: extended cab (SuperCab) with a 6-foot bed or a crew cab (SuperCrew) with a 5-foot bed. There are also three trim levels: XL, XLT and Lariat. All Rangers are equipped with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine (270 hp, 310 lb-ft of torque) paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

The base Ranger XL is rather sparsely equipped, but there are some feature highlights. Standard equipment includes 16-inch steel wheels, a manually locking tailgate, automatic headlights, air conditioning, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a four-speaker stereo system. Also included is forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking.

There are two core features packages for the XL. The 101A package adds a few desirable amenities, including cruise control, power mirrors, a larger central display screen and a six-speaker audio system. Buyers looking for modern driving aids will want to check out the Co-Pilot360 package, which gets you a blind-spot monitor with cross-traffic alert, lane keeping assist and pedestrian detection for the forward collision warning system.

Next up is the XLT, which includes the XL's 101A and Co-Pilot360 packages. It further adds extras such as alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, a 110-volt power outlet, keyless entry, dual-zone automatic climate control, an 8-inch touchscreen, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

The XLT has three additional option packages: 301A, 302A and Technology. The first two get you a variety of extra convenience features while the Technology adds a navigation system and adaptive cruise control.

The 301A package consists of the auto-dimming mirror, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power-folding mirrors, and your choice of the Sport, Chrome or Black exterior appearance package. The 302A package includes the 301A fixings, plus remote engine start, a manual-sliding rear window, and power-adjustable and heated front seats. The Technology package requires at least the 301A package, and it adds front parking sensors, a navigation system and adaptive cruise control.

The top trim level for the Ranger is the Lariat, which includes almost all the features from the XLT's 302A package plus a few more upgrades such as LED headlights and leather upholstery. The Lariat's 501A package adds the Technology package plus remote engine start, automatic wipers, and a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system.

>Other notable packages for the Ranger include the FX2 and FX4 Off-Road packages and the Trailer Tow package.

Which Ranger trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you decide the Ranger is the right truck for you, the XLT is undoubtedly the sweet spot between the sparsely equipped XL and the pricey Lariat. It comes with both of the XL's primary option packages, plus a handful of desirable luxury features. It also opens the doors to several packages that further add driver aids and passenger comfort features. There's nothing wrong with the base XL if you want to save some money, but we recommend adding the relatively inexpensive 101A package for its quality-of-life upgrades.
