![]() This promises real capability for off-road truck fans even without having to spring for any Tremor package or the Raptor. There’s also more ground clearance, with rear-drive Rangers getting a minimum of 9.3 inches (a 0.9-inch increase) and four-wheel drive (4WD) models getting 10.4, which exceed that of even the old off-road Ranger Tremor (9.7 inches). Off-road fans are going to like some of the new Ranger’s specs, including its standard 9.3 inches of ground clearance and 2.4 inches of additional track width front and rear. Ford says the famous 4×8 sheets of plywood truck buyers love can fit between the wheel wells instead of on top of them. That’s likely to yield a smoother ride and more stability, both in corners and on trails, and the wider track also equates to more bed space. The new truck keeps the traditional front coil spring and rear leaf-spring suspensions but moves the rear shocks and their mounts outside the frame rails. The 2024 Ranger’s wheelbase grows by 1.9 inches, and its front and rear tracks are widened by 2.4 inches. That’s just as well since the old design, though introduced in the U.S. Just about everything else gets major upgrades or complete redesigns. What won’t return? The slow-selling extended SuperCab body and 6-foot bed are no longer available, just as at GM, although this configuration might still be produced in time. ![]() The 10-speed automatic transmission remains as well. The new version will retain not only its powerful but relatively fuel-efficient base engine, but also its class-leading payload capacity (though slightly reduced to 1,805 pounds) and very healthy 7,500-pound maximum tow rating. 2024 Ford Ranger: Improving the Breedįor a truck that was fundamentally a decade old, the outgoing Ranger was still quite a capable machine. But beyond that, much has changed.įord knows that many midsize truck buyers are after family-friendly adventuremobiles, and the Ranger does more of what such buyers want than ever, without sacrificing utility. Keen-eyed truck fans will notice that the new Ranger is based on the previous one, with the same cab structure, stout frame and base 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. To that end, Ford has greatly improved but not fundamentally reinvented the Ranger recipe. As on the U.S.-model Explorer last year, Australian-market Rangers have had to forego certain features this year for lack of semiconductors. The wait gave Ford more time to iron out any early teething issues, which bodes well for U.S. Originally slated to arrive last year as a 2023 model, semiconductor shortages pushed back the new Ranger’s U.S. While not quite 100% new, the 2024 Ranger is a big leap forward from the old version and looks well worth the wait. After months of delays, the blue oval took the wraps off of the entire 2024 Ranger lineup this morning, showcasing new engines, interiors, tech features and, best of all, the wild, dune-bashing 405-horsepower Ranger Raptor. It’s been 18 months since the redesigned Ford Ranger’s international debut, but it’s finally ready for U.S. This is a great opportunity for you to take advantage of your special relationship with Ford Motor Company.While parts of the cab and silhouette might be a little familiar, the 2024 Ford Ranger has been comprehensively redesigned where it counts, with more room, lots of clever new features and a huge helping of in-vehicle technology additions.
