Mid-Size Capability · Three EcoBoost Engines · Raptor Available

New Ford Ranger in Valparaiso, IN

The mid-size truck sweet spot. More capable than a Maverick, easier to park than an F-150, and now offered with the Ranger Raptor's 405 HP twin-turbo V6. Three EcoBoost engines. 7,500 lb max tow. FX4 and Tremor off-road packages. Ranger Raptor for the full-send crowd.

The Mid-Size Truck That Earns Its Size

If the F-150 is too much truck and the Maverick isn't enough, the Ranger is exactly right. The 2026 Ranger brings three EcoBoost engine options, a properly engineered body-on-frame chassis, and towing capacity that genuinely competes with half-ton pickups from the prior decade. For weekend overlanders, jobsite supervisors who need to tow 5,000-6,000 pounds, or drivers who just want a truck that fits in standard parking garages — the Ranger hits the mark. Currie Motors Ford of Valpo stocks the Ranger across every trim from XL through the Raptor, including FX4 and Tremor off-road configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Ranger and Maverick?
Ranger is body-on-frame, genuinely mid-size, and tows up to 7,500 lbs. Maverick is unibody (car-based platform), compact, and tows up to 4,000 lbs. Ranger is offered with a 2.3L EcoBoost, 2.7L EcoBoost V6, and the Raptor's 3.0L twin-turbo V6. Maverick offers a hybrid powertrain; Ranger does not. Pick Ranger if you tow regularly, want off-road capability, or need a real mid-size. Pick Maverick if fuel economy and affordability top your list.
How does the Ranger Raptor compare to a Tacoma TRD Pro or Colorado ZR2?
Ranger Raptor leads the mid-size off-road segment in horsepower (405 HP vs. Tacoma TRD Pro's 326 HP and ZR2's 310 HP). It shares FOX Live Valve shock technology with the full-size F-150 Raptor — a significant engineering advantage. The Tacoma has an i-Force Max hybrid option the Raptor doesn't offer, and the ZR2 Bison adds AEV armor. But for raw straight-line off-road performance, the Ranger Raptor is the segment king.
What's the towing capacity of the 2026 Ford Ranger?
Maximum towing capacity is 7,500 lbs when properly equipped. Payload reaches up to 1,711 lbs. The Ranger is available with an integrated trailer brake controller, Pro Trailer Backup Assist, and a 360-degree camera system — all features that make towing with a mid-size truck significantly easier than older-generation pickups.
Is the Ranger available with 4x4?
Yes. Every Ranger trim is available with 4x4, and the Tremor and Raptor come with advanced 4x4 systems that include electronic locking rear differentials (Raptor adds an electronic locking front axle). The FX4 Off-Road Package is available on XL, XLT, and Lariat trims for buyers who want moderate off-road capability without stepping up to Tremor.
