We Look at the 2025 Ford Ranger Pricing and Specs

The 2025 Ford Ranger lineup has been officially announced, and Ford is rolling out some small but impactful changes across almost every variant.

And, here’s the kicker – despite these equipment upgrades, Ford hasn’t increased the price, which is pretty rare these days. So, if you’re interested in the Ranger or want to know what’s new, let’s break down everything you need to know.

Prices and Model Variants

The Ranger lineup kicks off at $36,880 for the XL single cab-chassis 4×2, but don’t be fooled – there are plenty of options beyond the base model, ranging from work-ready to all-terrain beasts.

And while the XLT and Wildtrak trims might grab the spotlight, I’ve seen buyers who appreciate the XL model’s practicality and now quieter cabin thanks to the new acoustic windscreen (a new addition for both XL and XLS).

Key Upgrades Across the Range

1. 400W Power Inverter

– For the first time, the Ranger now includes a 400W power inverter in the cabin and in the tray for pickup models (except the XL), which Ford fans have been asking for since the 2022 redesign.

This is a game-changer for those of us who love camping or need to plug in while on the job.

2. Interior Upgrades and Trim Adjustments

– Expect minor interior changes across the range. Even the Raptor gets a bit more user-friendly with added buttons on the steering wheel to handle calls more easily.

It’s small updates like these that make the driving experience just that much better.

3. Farewell to Parking Assist on Higher Trims

– Some features are being scaled back, with automated parking assist removed from the Wildtrak, Platinum, and Raptor.

While it might not be a dealbreaker for most, it’s worth noting if this was one of your must-haves.

Ford Ranger Drivetrains and Fuel Efficiency

When it comes to power and efficiency, there’s a lineup of drivetrains that caters to almost every need:

• 2.0L Single-Turbo Diesel – 125kW and 405Nm, with fuel economy rated at 7.6–8.0L/100km.

• 2.0L Bi-Turbo Diesel – 154kW and 500Nm, making it a solid option with 7.2–7.6L/100km.

• 3.0L V6 Diesel – 184kW and 600Nm, boasting a fuel economy of 8.4L/100km.

• 3.0L Twin-Turbo Petrol V6 – This Raptor-exclusive engine produces a thrilling 292kW and 583Nm but drinks a bit more at 11.5L/100km.

Dimensions and Towing Capacities

In terms of size, the 2025 Ford Ranger retains its familiar range of body styles and capabilities.

Across the board, the braked towing capacity sits at an impressive 3500kg for most models, with the Raptor offering 2500kg.

Interior Technology and Infotainment

Ford’s been keen to keep the Ranger’s tech up-to-date, with the following features now standard on most variants:

• 10.1 or 12-inch Sync4 touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

• FordPass app for remote start, vehicle monitoring, and even trailer coverage if you add the optional Touring Pack.

• A new surround-view camera option, part of that same Touring Pack, for enhanced visibility when maneuvering tight spaces.

Safety Across the Lineup

Safety remains a big focus. Most of the 2025 Ford Ranger lineup, except for the Raptor, continues with a five-star ANCAP safety rating.

Key safety features include:

• Nine airbags for added protection, including driver and passenger knee airbags.

• Adaptive cruise control with stop/go functionality.

• Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert for pickup models.

• Lane-keep assist and reversing camera as standard for pickups.

If you’re in the market, here’s what you can expect:

• Ranger XL – Starting from $36,880 for 4×2 single-cab/chassis.

• Ranger XLS – Available with added features like a 400W power inverter and 16-inch Dark Sparkle Silver alloy wheels.

Maintenance is every 12 months or 15,000km, with costs varying across the engine range.

CarExplore's Stance

If you’re looking for a ute that combines power, tech, and a little more comfort, the 2025 Ford Ranger lineup has options that cater to nearly everyone, from tradies to off-roaders.

For me, the most appealing change is the addition of that 400W inverter – a small but smart feature that just adds to the Ranger’s versatility.

With deliveries starting in the coming months, it’s the perfect time to decide if one of these new models fits your needs.
