Used 2021 Ford Ranger Crew Cab Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2021 Ford Ranger is a midsize pickup truck that is offered as either an extended cab (SuperCab) with a 6-foot bed or a crew cab (SuperCrew) with a 5-foot bed. It is available in three trim levels: XL, XLT and Lariat. All are powered by a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine (270 hp, 310 lb-ft of torque) paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission that drives either the rear or all four wheels.
Which Ranger trim does Edmunds recommend?
The midrange XLT trim represents our pick in the Ford Ranger lineup. It has the right amount of features for the price compared to the rather spartan XL trim. On top of that, it's also eligible for more convenience and tech options, as well as the new Tremor Off-Road package.
