4 Standout Features of the 2021 Ford Ranger

The 2021 Ford Ranger is a mid-size pickup. This means that it’s the perfect in-between size, which makes it desirable to many drivers. It’s not too small to be inefficient, but it’s not large enough to feel too hefty while on the road. Alongside its perfect size, the Ford Ranger performs wonderfully, and it’s full of features that make it stand out above the competition.

1. It’s Trail-Ready

All-wheel-drive is available on all models of the Ford Ranger. All-wheel-drive provides superior traction, and the Ranger is rugged enough to tackle any terrain you decide to drive on. This is all you need to get out on the trail and start having fun.

However, if you want to feel more secure and powerful on the trail, there are some packages you can equip your Ford Ranger with. The optional packages can help with off-roading in the trickiest conditions. Available across the packages, you’ll find:

• A locking rear differential
• Tires with more aggressive tread
• Off-roading tuned suspension
• A terrain management system

 

2. It’s Fantastic for Hauling

The Ford Ranger can haul a perfectly standard 7,500 pounds with no issues. Most trucks of this size and class can haul that much, so the Ford Ranger is keeping up with competitors. The Ranger then goes on to beat the competition by towing this large load flawlessly. Some other vehicles of the Ranger’s size become difficult to handle when hauling. You won’t have that problem with the Ford Ranger.

There are two additional features that make towing large loads even easier in the Ford Ranger. One of those features is the trailer sway control, and the other is the backup camera. The backup camera wasn’t specifically made for use while towing, but it lets you keep an eye on your load.

3. Driver Assistance Available

Having some form of driver assistance technology on at least some of a vehicle’s trims is standard these days. Unfortunately, some vehicles have no driver assistance features on their base trim. With the Ford Ranger, you’re lucky: automatic emergency braking is standard across all trims.

The Ford Ranger’s higher trims come with more driver assistance features. These features include:

• Rear cross-traffic monitoring
• Blind-spot monitoring
• Automatic high beams

 

4. It’s Technology-Packed

The Ford Ranger has a wide array of available features. The features are excellent for keeping you entertained on long journeys. Some of the available entertainment features are a WiFi hotspot, an easy smartphone connection system, and connectivity with all the major smartphone apps.

If you’d rather use your 8.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system for information, you can do that too. You can choose to acquire SiriusXM Traffic, Navigation software, and Travel Link. These are perfect for someone who enjoys frequent road trips.
