2025 Ford Ranger: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important 2025 Ford Ranger change is that privacy glass became standard on the XL in a late-model-year update. Otherwise, the Ranger largely carries over from its full 2024 redesign, with the same basic body, engines, and core hardware.
About the 2025 Ford Ranger
5th generation Ranger for North America, second model year after the 2024 redesign.
Ford positions the Ranger as a midsize pickup that blends everyday drivability with real towing, hauling, and trail ability. Its core appeal is straightforward: manageable size, strong turbocharged engines, a more modern cabin than the old Ranger, and smart truck features that make work and weekend use easier. Ford leans especially hard on adventure use, off-road confidence, and connected cabin tech, while still keeping the Ranger useful as a practical daily truck.
The 2025 lineup ranges from the practical XL and well-rounded XLT to the more comfortable Lariat, which has a 12-inch touchscreen, heated leather-trimmed front seats, and a 360-degree camera. The Raptor remains the off-road performance model, pairing a 405-hp twin-turbo V6 with specialized FOX shocks, locking front and rear differentials, and a Baja driving mode.
