Its rack-and-pinion steering is not only direct and accurate but also offers the perfect amount of assistance, allowing you to keep it straight on highways with ease or navigate tight spaces with precision. Meanwhile, the 10-speed automatic transmission is incredibly smooth and comes with available paddle shifters for an engaging yet refined handling experience.
A suite of standard and available safety and driver-assistance technologies helps enhance driving ease while actively protecting you and other road users.

Serious Off-Road Machinery
The Ford Ranger, with its available 4×4 hardware, delivers remarkable all-weather and all-terrain capability. However, in its off-road-focused Raptor trim, it takes things to a whole other level.
