When you live in a quaint coastal village like Niantic, a stylish yet capable truck that can take you anywhere, from the nearby Rocky Neck State Park to New York or Boston, is a must-have. With four trim levels and impressive performance on and off the road, the 2024 Ford Ranger could be your match.
4 Trim Levels of the 2024 Ford Ranger
XL
Whether you need an everyday truck for commuting or a weekend adventure companion, the 2024 Ranger XL brings performance and comfort at an affordable price. It comes standard with a 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine, the same powertrain standard on all the other trim levels except for the Raptor, and produces 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but four-wheel drive is available as an upgrade if you’re into off-roading.
The interior boasts premium cloth-trimmed seats and comes packed with technology. A SYNC 4A 10-inch display offers intuitive access to information, connectivity, and entertainment. Highlights include hands-free smartphone control and Wi-Fi hotspot capability so you can turn the cabin into a mobile office. An analog rearview camera comes standard to let you see what’s behind the truck, making parking easy.
XLT
The XLT comes standard with the same EcoBoost engine as the XL, but it can be had with a more powerful 2.7L EcoBoost engine that churns out 315 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. The extra muscle enhances the model’s traction and handling, especially on slippery roads and other challenging driving conditions.
LARIAT
With the same powertrain options as the XLT but more convenience features, the LARIAT trim is a great choice if you need a truck for work or adventures. One of the main highlights is the upgraded dashboard offered standard with a 12-inch digital cluster and a 12-inch center touchscreen. Ambient lighting and a universal garage opener also come standard, while 120V in-cab and in-bed outlets let you fire up power tools and electronics.
Raptor
Designed for off-road performance, the Raptor comes standard with an exclusive 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine that generates 405 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. Standard 4×4 drive, class-exclusive 2.5-inch FOX Live Valve shocks, and 17-inch wheels fitted with all-terrain tires can give you the confidence to explore unchartered territories. For smooth rides and enhanced control on various terrains, this model comes standard with Ford’s Trail Control.
This system is similar to cruise control, allowing you to set the desired speed for automatic control of the acceleration and braking, enhancing the model’s performance on challenging roads. The Raptor is also well-equipped for trailering and comes standard with trailer sway and trailer brake control.
