2025 Ford Ranger Crew Cab Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The midsize 2025 Ford Ranger comes in a crew-cab configuration with a 5-foot bed. There are four trim levels: XL, XLT, Lariat and Raptor. The standard powertrain is a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder that produces 270 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. That's the only choice on the XL, while a more powerful turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 (315 hp, 400 lb-ft of torque) is available for the XLT and Lariat. The Raptor gets the most powerful engine of the bunch: a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 that makes 405 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque, along with a slew of off-road and interior upgrades that make it stand out from the rest of the lineup.
Which Ranger trim does Edmunds recommend?
We think the midrange XLT is the best value within the Ranger lineup. It's reasonably priced and comes with the features most truck buyers will need. You can also stick with the Ranger's base four-cylinder engine. We tested the Ranger's available V6 and didn't find that it made any appreciable gains in performance.
