Overview

Written by automotive expert Brian Wong

4/11/2024

The 2024 Ford Ranger is fully redesigned. This new generation introduces changes and updates that significantly improve this midsize truck. It's easier and more comfortable to drive while providing plenty of capability for doing truck stuff, such as towing a trailer or a bunch of gear in the bed. The 2024 Ranger also has a nicer-looking cabin that's fitted with a lot of Ford's latest technology and driver assistance features. Ford has simplified this generation's lineup — you can only get the truck as a crew cab with a short bed, for example — but there is a new hardcore off-road model called the Raptor.

Edmunds spotlight: Ranger Raptor

The Raptor family has expanded from the F-150 Raptor and Bronco Raptor to include the new Ranger Raptor. The Ranger Raptor's upgrades aren't quite as extensive as on those models, but in exchange it's the least expensive of the three. Highlights include a Raptor-specific 3.0-liter V6 engine good for 405 horsepower, Fox shocks at all four corners, 33-inch BFGoodrich KO3 all-terrain tires, and special drive modes that help optimize the truck for driving on different types of terrain.

Competitors to consider

Competition includes the Chevrolet Colorado and Toyota Tacoma, which both got recent redesigns of their own, making the midsize truck class more competitive than it's ever been. There's also the off-road-oriented Jeep Gladiator and street-oriented Honda Ridgeline. You might even consider moving up a size (F-150) or down a size (Maverick) depending on what your truck needs are. Check out our test team's Expert Rating below for our full report on the new Ranger's pros and cons.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Steven Ewing

Great

8.2

out of 10

We drove the 2024 Ford Ranger on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8/10

How does the Ranger Raptor drive? At our test track, the Ranger Raptor accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds. That's very quick for a midsize truck, and maybe you'd expect even more from 405 hp. Blame the Raptor's extra 900-ish pounds of ballast compared to a base 4WD Ranger, not to mention its beefier tires. The latter also worsen the Ranger's steering feel and accuracy, as well as braking distance. But none of its performance figures are out of line for such an off-road-focused truck.

Besides, Fox shocks, skid plates, reinforced suspension components, and a host of terrain modes make this Ranger darn near unstoppable off-road. No, it won't rock crawl with the precision of a Jeep Gladiator, but this Ranger will outrun just about every other truck out there.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the Ranger Raptor? All those off-road goodies have a bonus effect: They make the Ranger Raptor super comfortable. The suspension is softly sprung, making this truck a whole lot nicer to drive in both the city and on the highway. It isn't much louder inside than the standard Ranger either. You can select different exhaust modes too, but we recommend keeping it as quiet as possible since the Ranger Raptor's V6 doesn't sound particularly good to our ears.

The Ranger Raptor comes with front sport seats that are as plush as they are supportive and really improve this truck's long-haul comfort. These are some of the quickest-activating seat heaters we've ever tested too. It's just a shame Ford didn't remember to install air vents for the rear passengers.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? It might look beastly and butch, but the Ranger Raptor is really quite approachable. Its 10.7-inch ground clearance isn't too high a step for those of us with shorter legs, and the driving position is the same once you're behind the wheel. Plus, you get those Raptor-specific comfy-cushy seats.

The Ranger Raptor has plenty of headroom and legroom for front passengers. And while backseat space will be somewhat tight for taller adults, it's no worse than what you'll find in a Chevy Colorado or Toyota Tacoma. The Raptor's good outward visibility is only enhanced with its comprehensive surround-view camera system, which is helpful both on- and off-road.

Technology

8.5/10

How’s the tech? The Raptor offers a few unique off-road screens that supplement the Ranger's digital gauge cluster and large infotainment screen. But otherwise the majority of the tech carries over from the standard Ranger. It's great that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect wirelessly, though we wish the voice commands were as seamless as the Google Assistant integrated into the Chevy Colorado.

Driver assistance features are also in high supply, and nothing is lost to the Raptor's off-road capability. There's also a plethora of off-road-oriented driver aids for different types of terrain.

Towing and Storage

7.5/10

How are the towing and storage? Because of the Raptor's off-road focus, it gives up a little bit of work-time capability. Where the standard Ranger can tow up to 7,500 pounds and carry 1,805 pounds of payload, the Raptor decreases those figures to 5,510 pounds and 1,375 pounds, respectively. At least the bed size remains the same, though the Raptor doesn't have the standard Ranger's handy side step. Inside, rear underseat storage remains and those seats can be lifted up for larger, bulkier items you don't want exposed in the bed.

Unfortunately, the Raptor's specs lag behind its key competitors. Both the rugged Chevy Colorado ZR2 and Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro can handle more payload, and both of those trucks will tow up to 6,000 pounds. Sure, the Raptor will be fine for most buyers, but if you need 90th-percentile towing and hauling capabilities, you might want to look elsewhere.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

7.5/10

How economical is the Ranger Raptor? Look, if you're buying a truck with "Raptor" on the bed, you probably aren't super concerned with fuel economy. And that's a good thing since this truck is EPA-estimated to get 17 mpg in combined city/highway driving. In the real world, we found it hard to match those numbers. Our combined figure hovered around 15.3 mpg, despite being on our best behavior and not flooring the Raptor's throttle at every given opportunity. Still, other off-road midsize trucks don't do much better.

Value

8/10

Is the Ranger Raptor a good value? That whole "Built Ford Tough" tagline is true: Every part of the Ranger Raptor feels like it was designed for prolonged hard use. Yet it doesn't give up much in the way of creature comforts. This truck is a major improvement over its predecessor in every regard, and the Ranger's cabin simply feels more luxurious than the Chevy Colorado. Is the Ranger Raptor expensive? Yes. But the price is competitive with the Colorado ZR2 and Tacoma TRD Pro, and when you consider its overall capabilities, the Ranger Raptor seems right on the money.

Warranties are fairly standard with three years/36,000 miles given for basic coverage and five years/60,000 miles for the powertrain. Roadside assistance is also covered for five years/60,000 miles.

Wildcard

9/10

Emphasis on "wild" here — the Ranger Raptor is a hoot and a half. It's an unabashed hooligan designed for off-road good times, and that's what sells this truck above all else. But it's not so overly focused on that dirt-slinging prowess that you can't live with it every day.

The Ranger Raptor strikes a better balance between weekend warrior and weekday work tool than other trucks in this segment. (The Jeep Gladiator immediately comes to mind.) Plus, it just oozes cool, with mega curb appeal. This truck simply begs to be jumped over a sand dune.

2024 Ford Ranger trim level differences

The midsize 2024 Ford Ranger comes in a crew-cab configuration with a 5-foot bed. There are four trim levels: XL, XLT, Lariat and Raptor. At launch, there will only be one engine available for the first three trims: a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder that produces 270 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. A more powerful turbocharged 2.7L V6 (315 hp, 400 lb-ft of torque) will also be offered in summer 2024. All trims are offered with rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive except for the Raptor, which comes with 4WD standard. Keep reading for more details on the Ranger's standard features and options.

Which Ranger trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the XLT for most buyers because it opens up the door to a lot of the interior equipment and technology the Ranger offers. If you want the larger infotainment touchscreen and the full suite of safety features, including adaptive cruise control and a superb 360-degree camera system, the XLT offers access to those via packages while the XL does not. The Lariat does offer these features as well, but not at an appealing price.
