The New 2024 Ford F-150 vs. the Ford Ranger
Ford sets the standard across the industry when it comes to pickup trucks. The F-150 is the pinnacle with the best available towing and payload capability you can get in a full-size pickup. The Ford Ranger is the smaller brother and a very capable mid-size pickup in its own right. It has a lower price tag than the F-150 while still delivering solid towing and hauling. Here's a look at some of the key differences between the new 2024 Ford F-150 and the Ford Ranger, both of which are available for a test drive at Tracy Langston Ford in Springfield, TN.
Engines and performance options in the new 2024 Ford F-150
The F-150 has a longer list of engine options than the Ford Ranger starting with a 2.7-liter V6 that's good for 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. Beyond that, Clarksville buyers can move up a 5.0-liter V8 with 400 horsepower plus 410 pound-feet of torque. The 3.5-liter turbo V6 also generates 400 horsepower but delivers up to 500 pound-feet of torque. The off-road Raptor model can be equipped with an available 3.5-liter turbo V6 with 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque or you can get a 5.2-liter V8 with an amazing 700 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque.
Engines and performance options in the new 2024 Ford Ranger
The mid-size Ford Ranger has been through a design refresh for the 2024 model year and it's now more capable than ever. The standard model is equipped with a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that generates 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. A new 2.7-liter turbocharged V6 is also available for Nashville buyers and it can come through with 315 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. Like the F-150, the new Ford Ranger also offers an off-road Raptor model and with the Ranger it's equipped with a 3.0-liter turbo V6 with 405 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Like the F-150, the new Ranger offers available four-wheel drive for most models and it's a standard feature with the Raptor trim.
A comparison of towing and payload
The full-size Ford F-150 has a higher level of towing and payload capability than the mid-size Ford Ranger. In fact, it gives you more maximum towing and hauling than any other pickup in its very competitive class. The F-150 gives White House drivers up to 13,500 pounds of towing capacity and it can pack a payload of up to 2,455 pounds. The Ford Ranger does very well in the mid-size segment with a towing capacity of up to 7,500 pounds and a payload capacity of up to 1805 pounds.
A comparison of features
The Ford F-150 offers more trim levels so you can select the level of off-roading capability and luxury that will fit your budget. Both the 2024 F-150 and the Ranger give Tennessee buyers best-in-class technology including Ford's groundbreaking Pro Trailer Backup Assist system. Both pickups offer plenty of variety but the F-150 offers more of almost everything. For example, the top-tier F-150 Platinum can give you available leather upholstered Recaro front sport seats with suede trim and distinctive Rhapsody Blue accents. The Ford Ranger Lariat model can come with heated seats and genuine leather upholstery.
A comparison of size
The Ford F-150, as you would expect, is longer than the Ranger, with up to 232.0 inches of total length. The 2024 Ford Ranger isn't far behind with up to 210.9 inches. If you need a longer, larger truck bed for hauling, the Ford F-150 is likely to be your choice. On the other hand, if you can accomplish everything you need with a shorter truck, the Ford Ranger costs less and might have everything you need.
