2024 Ford Ranger: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Ford Ranger is fully redesigned, making this a major change year rather than a light update. It begins a new U.S. generation with a reworked chassis, a more digital cabin, and broader capability.
About the 2024 Ford Ranger
New generation, first U.S. model year of the redesign (2024 launch year).
Ford positions the 2024 Ranger as an adventure-ready midsize pickup that still handles everyday truck duty. The brand leans hard on toughness, trail readiness, towing help, and smarter storage, while also pushing the truck’s more modern cabin and digital tech. Compared with rivals, the Ranger’s core identity is a do-everything midsize truck: useful enough for work, comfortable enough for daily driving, and more off-road focused than many mainstream pickups once you move up the range.
The XL is the practical starting point, while the XLT adds everyday conveniences such as rear parking sensors and wireless phone charging. The Lariat moves upscale with a 12-inch touchscreen, a 360-degree camera, premium audio, and heated front seats. At the top, the new 405-hp Ranger Raptor is a high-speed off-road model with a twin-turbo V6, specialized FOX shocks, and front and rear locking differentials for added traction.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The 2.3-liter turbo four-cylinder and 10-speed automatic remain the standard setup, but a stronger 2.7-liter V6 joins the XLT and Lariat later in the model year. The new Ranger Raptor adds a 405-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6, advanced four-wheel drive, and front and rear locking differentials.
Styling
The Ranger gets a completely new body and cabin design. Inside, every trim moves to a more screen-focused dashboard, with touchscreen sizes ranging from 10 to 12 inches.
Safety
Lane-departure warning and automatic high beams become standard on the XL. Adaptive cruise control becomes standard on the Lariat.
Tech
The redesigned Ranger adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, over-the-air software updates, and expanded towing and trail technology. Navigation becomes standard on XLT and Lariat, while the Lariat also gains standard premium audio and a 360-degree camera.
Structural
Ford reworks the frame and suspension with a longer wheelbase, a wider track, and rear shocks moved farther outward for better ride and control. The redesigned cabin adds fold-flat rear seating and under-seat storage, while the reshaped bed better accommodates wider cargo.

“The vehicle performs well, but several systems are more automated than necessary. The digital interface with my phone tends to cause issues with other phone apps.”
