Ford has taken the ever-popular Ranger and transformed it from the small truck it was in the past to a very capable and comfortable mid-size option for truck buyers who are loyal to Ford and the durability that comes with this name. The 2026 Ranger is built to accommodate five passengers in the four-door cab while still providing ample cargo space in the truck bed. The toughest question for buyers is which engine they will include in their new 2026 Ranger.
The 2026 Ranger offers a 270 hp turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine or a 315 hp twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V-6. Both engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and can be configured in all-wheel or four-wheel drive.
The interior of the Ranger focuses on passenger and driver comfort, with the base trim level Ranger meeting the quality standards of other manufacturers’ upgrade trim finishes. The dashboard has been streamlined to ensure easy operation of adjustments and tools, such as the touchscreen and HVAC controls, to reduce driver distraction and stress.
The 2026 Ranger is all about giving buyers great choices they appreciate, like the center touchscreen available in 10- or 12-inch sizes and the digital gauge cluster in a standard 8-inch size or upgraded to a 12-inch model. Most Ranger models also include the Ford Co-Pilot 360 safety suite, while all include lane keeping and enhanced voice recognition features. Other helpful tech features you might include in your 2026 Ranger include:
The current Ranger model is still very fresh and received only minor updates this year to enhance driver and passenger enjoyment. You will find higher-quality interior finishes, like the upholstery and trims, as well as a few nicer tech features. On the outside, 2026 brings new color choices for the Ranger, including Avalanche and Acacia Green.
