The Ranger was a popular pickup truck that was a staple of the Ford lineup for years. It disappeared from dealerships in 2011, but Ford plans to bring it back in 2022. more Performance and Power A few people recently spotted the Ranger outside of the Ford headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan, which showcased a powerful diesel engine beneath its hood. Ford plans to release the truck with an EcoBoost engine, which is used in several F-line trucks. However, many American buyers are hoping that the truck will be available with the same 2.0-liter turbodiesel that is available on the global version of the Ranger, which produces 369 pound-feet of torque and 210 horsepower. Off-Roading Features Just about every truck in the Ford lineup is available with four-wheel drive, offering improved traction and better control on rough terrain and slick roads. The Ranger will be available with a 4x4 package, which includes skid and bash plates to protect the undercarriage from any damage, a status screen to monitor the roll and pitch of the truck, and all-terrain tires with an aggressive tread pattern to better grip the road. Driver-Assist Technologies The F-150, F-250, and F-350 are available with several driver-assist features, offering a safer ride. The 2022 Ranger will also be available with these additions, including blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keep assist.
