Sleek and powerful, the 2022 Ford Ranger has taken the midsize pickup segment by storm, offering drivers an unsurpassed utility vehicle. In this article, we will take a closer look at some of its interior and exterior features. Keep reading to learn more about it!

Turbocharged Engine

The sole engine option of the all-new Ranger is powerful enough to move this midsize pickup truck in an impressive way. Under its hood lies a 2.3-liter twin-scroll turbocharged four-banger that musters 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. All models of the Ranger are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. However, drivers will enjoy more power on the lighter XL trim.

Modern and Stylish Exterior

Ford breaks the mold of conventional midsize pickup trucks with a utility vehicle that is pleasing to the eye. The 2022 Ranger boasts a stunning exterior that combines both modern and sporty design features. Its smooth lines and aerodynamic shape reveal a sporty and aesthetic look, while the Ranger’s wide wheelbase, bold frame, and stylish front fascia add a ruggedly handsome touch.

The Splash Trim Package

For drivers who appeal to vehicles with more exterior flash, the Splash Trim Package lights up the 2022 Ranger to draw guaranteed stares from onlookers. The package includes unique exterior design graphics and a set of stunning blacked-out 18-inch wheels. The orange and black exterior trim also complements the orange stitching found on the upholstery of the vehicle’s cabin.

Big Muscle for a Midsize Utility Vehicle

Don’t let its class fool you; the 2022 Ranger handles its own and can handle the heavy jobs when needed. A stock-standard model is capable of towing approximately 3,500 pounds. But drivers can double this amount when adding optional towing equipment. Payload capacity for the 2022 Ranger was also measured at a respectable 1860 pounds.

Interior Comfort and Versatility

The cabin of the 2022 Ranger is spacious, comfortable, and crafted with high-quality materials. Drivers can opt for an extended cab or a crew cab. The former seats five adults comfortably and features four doors. While the latter seats four adults and comes with two half-doors.

Optimal Off-Road Performance

Are you tackling bumpy terrain? Not to worry. Every model of the 2022 Ranger comes available in a 4×4 all-wheel drive. Furthermore, the Ranger’s solid frame and high-tech suspension system provide drivers with an optimal off-roading experience. Opting for the Terrain Management System further adds to the vehicle’s stability when venturing off the beaten path.

Infotainment

Ford meets the growing demand of drivers who want more tech-savvy utility vehicles by including an infotainment system in all models of the 2022 Ranger. Choosing the XL or Lariat models nets you the Ford Sync 3 infotainment system. It includes an eight-inch touchscreen that allows for Apple Carplay and Android Auto Connectivity.
