We have good news, the new Ranger is approaching. The order books are about to open, so get your reservation. Things are about to move because there is even a set production date. See how long you can get.
When can you order the 2024 Ford Ranger?
Order books for 2024 are scheduled to open on April 17, 2023. Production of the Ranger is scheduled to begin in July 2023. This is subject to delays, so don’t set these dates in stone. Use it as a guide, and be prepared.
We shared that spy footage of the Ranger Raptor was captured at the factory.
But the photos are of a pre-production example with the Cactus Gray paint shade. While the popular paint color will remain, the North American model could feature some changes.
What engines can the 2024 Ranger have?
The official specifications of the . However, the current 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine is likely to be carried with 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.
But it is possible to restart the engine to produce more juice. Rumor has it that the Ford Ranger Raptor will have a twin-turbocharged V6 engine.
The 3.0-liter V6 makes 288 horsepower and 362 lb-ft of torque for the European. In other countries such as Australia, where the emission standards are lower, the engine delivers approximately 391 hp.
We can speculate that a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque from the Ford Explorer could be an option.
Also, other countries have a turbo diesel that probably won’t come to America and a 7-speed manual transmission. The North American model will likely use a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Rumor has it that a Ford Ranger Hybrid is in the works. But the hybrid variant could appear a few months after the initial release.
The 2023 Ranger can tow up to 7,500 pounds and carry a payload of up to 1,905 pounds. You don’t need more power, but the Jee Gladiator tops it off with its ability to tow up to 7,700 pounds.
Will the next generation Ranger get a better interior?
Yes, the interior design of 2024 will be refined, modern and sophisticated. Storage has been improved to include lots of boxes, trays and smaller cups. There’s even a box hidden above the glove box.
A 10.1-inch infotainment screen may come standard, but you can upgrade to the 12.1-inch portrait-oriented unit. We also expect the new Ranger to feature a new digital instrument cluster and head-up display.
It’s safe to expect standard wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto. Some trims may have built-in navigation and a premium audio system. Also, the Ranger will likely feature more security options.
We’ll likely learn more about the 2024 Ford Ranger soon. The order books are set to open this spring, so stay tuned for the latest updates.
