For buyers searching for the best midsize truck of 2025, the answer might just be riding on a blue oval.

In this in-depth 2025 Ford Ranger review, we’ll unpack the reasons why this pickup truck claimed the top spot, explore every key aspect from engine performance to infotainment, and help you decide if the 2025 Ranger belongs in your driveway. Whether you're after raw power, daily comfort, off-road grit, or tech-savvy convenience, this truck has something for everyone.

Why Did the 2025 Ford Ranger Win North American Truck of the Year?

The North American Truck of the Year (NACTOY) is one of the most prestigious awards in the automotive world. Voted on by an independent jury of automotive journalists from the U.S. and Canada, the award recognizes excellence in innovation, design, safety, performance, technology, and value. The Ford Ranger North American Truck of the Year jury voting favored the Ranger over tough competitors like the Toyota Tacoma and Chevy Colorado.

Why? Because the 2025 Ranger is a standout in every category.

“The new Ranger delivers class-leading capability with a refined interior and a broad range of trims, including the wild Raptor edition,” said NACTOY juror Jack Nerad in a statement.

What’s New in the 2025 Ford Ranger?

If you're wondering what’s new in the 2025 Ford Ranger, the answer is: quite a lot.

From the ground up, the Ranger has been redesigned with a bolder exterior, a modernized interior, and new Ford Ranger features for 2025 that elevate its usability and driving enjoyment. The truck is now built on a revised version of Ford's T6 platform and shares global DNA with the international Ranger and Ford Everest SUV.

Exterior Redesign

The 2025 Ford Ranger exterior now boasts a more aggressive front fascia, C-shaped LED headlamps, a taller hood, and widened wheel arches. It looks muscular and ready for anything—from suburban streets to rugged trails.

Interior Updates

Inside, the 2025 Ford Ranger interior has received a major tech-focused overhaul. The cabin includes a vertically-oriented 10.1- or 12-inch touchscreen running SYNC 4A, a fully digital instrument cluster, and available leather-trimmed seats. Storage and ergonomics have been vastly improved—making it not just functional, but comfortable.

Engine Options and Performance

Under the hood, the 2025 Ford Ranger engine lineup gives you flexibility, power, and off-road muscle. Here's what buyers can expect:

2.3L EcoBoost I4: Standard engine producing 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.
2.7L EcoBoost V6: Optional upgrade (borrowed from the F-150 and Bronco) with 315 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.
3.0L V6 in the Ranger Raptor: A beastly 405 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, ideal for off-roading and high-speed desert runs.

All engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

2025 Ford Ranger horsepower and torque figures put it ahead of many in the midsize truck category, giving it best-in-class performance in multiple trims.

Whether you need a workhorse or a trail-dominating machine, 2025 Ford Ranger trim levels offer something for everyone:

XL: The entry-level option with modern tech and utility
XLT: A balanced choice with upgraded features and looks
Lariat: Premium finishings, leather interior, advanced safety tech

33-inch BFGoodrich KO3 tires
