At Jim Burke Ford in Bakersfield, California, we carry a wide selection of Ford Ranger pickups and are here to help you reach an informed decision before you buy.

Overview of the Ford Ranger

Since Ford reintroduced it for the 2019 model year, the Ranger has been a popular choice for drivers looking for an exceptional midsize truck. It’s a versatile pickup capable of handling any task, whether picking up groceries or heading out to the desert for an off-roading adventure. It features a comfortable cabin with lots of high-tech gear to help make every drive a relaxing experience. Several package options give you room for customization, ensuring this truck has the power and amenities you’re looking for.

Performance and Capabilities

It’s simple to outfit the Ford Ranger with the best engine for your needs. The standard equipment is a 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-four engine that mates to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Sticking with the standard rear-wheel-drive system, the base Ranger can haul a payload of up to 1,805 pounds. If you want a boost in power, you can opt for the 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V-6 engine or the 3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6 with auto start-stop. These engines also pair with the 10-speed transmission. 

Four-wheel drive is available for any Ford Ranger model, but this drivetrain drops the payload capacity to 1,711 pounds. Regardless of the powertrain, the Ranger can pull a maximum of 7,500 pounds with the available tow package. This ability makes it easy to ride the dunes for the day or tow a small trailer to the mountains. For the optimum all-terrain experience, the off-road package offers electronic-locking rear differentials, an exposed steel bash plate, and off-road-tuned shocks.

Technology and Infotainment Features

The new Ford Ranger has advanced technology and infotainment features to enhance your driving experience. A fully customizable digital cluster display sits behind the steering wheel, so it’s easy to see important details such as speed, fuel level, and engine data. The 10.1-inch infotainment touch screen (a 12-inch version is available) in the dashboard’s center allows wireless phone connectivity with Apple and Android devices. This technology allows you to answer calls, check messages, and access playlists effortlessly. The available 360-degree camera system makes maneuvering the Ranger simple, as the area around the truck displays on the screen.

Safety and Security

Whether on the pavement or the trails, you can drive the Ranger with confidence thanks to the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of safety and driver-assist features. This modern array of technology ensures you and your passengers are safe and secure no matter where the road takes you. The standard precollision assist with automatic emergency braking can help prevent a collision. Blind-spot assist ensures you change lanes only when traffic is clear, as it provides a warning if it detects vehicles in the Ranger’s blind spot. 

Backing up is simple with the reverse brake assist system, which alerts you to objects behind the Ranger. The truck also has airbags throughout its cabin to cushion you and your passengers if a collision occurs.

Interior and Comfort

With spacious seating for up to five passengers, the Ranger’s cabin is comfortable even on the most rugged desert or mountain trails. Dual-zone climate control keeps everyone in the truck at just the right temperature, while the heated steering wheel ensures your hands stay warm on cool Bakersfield mornings. If you need more storage space, the second-row seat folds flat to create plenty of room for anything you want to pack. A six-speaker sound setup is standard, but an optional 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system will give you an immersive listening experience.

Customization and Trim Levels

The Ford Ranger’s four trim levels are the XL, XLT, Lariat, and Raptor, a choice that ensures a match with your desired features. Several packages change the appearance of the Ranger, giving you a variety of wheel sizes, grille designs, and accents to appeal to your unique preferences. Color options include:

• Desert Sand
• Velocity Blue
• Marsh Gray
• Ruby Red
• Azure Gray
• Shadow Black
• Carbonized Gray Metallic
• Oxford White
