What Is the 2021 Ford Ranger?

The Ford Ranger is a mid-size pickup truck that seats up to five and competes with the Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier and Chevrolet Colorado. Unlike the majority of pickups, the Ranger is offered with only one engine: a 270-horsepower, turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder that works with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear- and four-wheel-drive versions are available, and the Ranger is offered in extended-cab and crew-cab form.
