The Ford Ranger has been awarded the 2025 North American Truck of the Year™, marking a fifth consecutive win for Ford trucks. This achievement highlights Ford's leadership in truck innovation and capability. Jim Baumbick, vice president of Advanced Product Development, stated, "Earning this recognition celebrates our team’s dedication to continuously raising the bar for midsize truck customers."

Vehicles considered for the North American Truck of the Year™ must be new or significantly updated.

The Ford Ranger stands out as the most connected and capable version yet.

The Ford Ranger underwent rigorous testing worldwide, including in challenging environments like the Australian outback and American highways. This global testing ensures its readiness for diverse adventures across six continents. Notably, it was Australia's best-selling vehicle this year and has held that title in New Zealand for ten years running.

The 2024 Ranger offers advanced towing technology such as Pro Trailer Backup Assist. It also features improved bed access, Zone Lighting, over-the-air updates, and a redesigned interior with digital gauge clusters and large touch screens. Wireless charging and fold-flat rear seats enhance storage options.

The 2024 Ranger Raptor is designed for high-performance off-road capabilities. It features a 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6 engine producing 405 horsepower* and 430 pound-feet of torque. Its long-travel suspension includes a Watts link rear suspension and class-exclusive FOX™ Live Valve shocks*, making it ideal for off-road enthusiasts.
