The 2020 Ford Ranger is a versatile truck option that boasts an exceptional powertrain. With noteworthy towing and hauling capabilities and a plethora of add-on features available, the Ranger is a great compact pickup that has everything you could want from a smaller truck. Let’s look at a few of the 2020 Ford Ranger’s most notable features.
Exceptional Off-Roading Capabilities
The 2020 Ford Ranger boasts several features that make it great for off-roading adventures. The Terrain Management System, which comes as part of the FX4 Off-Road Package, gives you four different drive modes: Normal, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud/Ruts, and Sand. These modes put the power in your hands when it comes to handling terrain of any kind, and the system as a whole delivers unbeatable drivability and traction.
Another off-roading feature to get excited about are the electronic-locking rear differentials that activate to lock the axle at both wheels simultaneously for maximum traction. This feature is available as an optional add-on or as part of the FX4 Off-Road Package.
And, if you really want a great off-roading experience, the Trail Control lets you focus on the scenery rather than the rough terrain. This feature is a driver-activated cruise control system specially engineered to manage demanding terrain.
A World-Class Powertrain
One of the Ranger’s most impressive features is its powerful engine. All 2020 Ford Rangers come equipped with a powerful 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost engine that out beats all other gas-powered midsize pickups on the market. This engine offers 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, so you have access to all the power you need to get things done. The EcoBoost is designed with a twin-scroll turbocharger that takes exhaust gas from its cylinders for optimum pulse energy and the utmost in responsiveness.
The 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine is paired with a 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission. The transmission itself is impressive and boasts Ford-patented technology and wide-span gear spacing as well as drag-reduction actions and three overdrive gears.
Top-Notch Technology Options
The Ford Ranger comes with a host of available technology features that will keep you informed and connected no matter where your adventure takes you. Impressive technology options include the voice-activated SYNC 3 system with an 8-inch center-stack touch screen. This system responds to your voice, so you never have to worry about taking your eyes off the road. The voice-activated navigation system offers pinch-to-zoom capabilities and provides step-by-step directions to get you where you need to be.
Another technology feature to look forward to is the Ford Co-Pilot360, which provides driver-assist technologies to keep you safe. Included features in the Co-Pilot360 are the Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane-Keeping System, Auto High-Beam Headlamps, a Rear View Camera, and Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking.
