Ford consistently puts its customers first in design, quality, and value, and many customers recognize this. With the 2021 Ford Ranger, things look no different. Ford is using some of its original capabilities to design a truck capable of handling different kinds of terrains without being extremely expensive.
The Ford Ranger was designed and engineered in Australia, which makes it ideal for the country’s landscape. The Ford Ranger can handle various terrain, from desert conditions to mountainous areas. It shares a reasonable price for the amenities that it offers and can easily become the car you take on any long road trip.

Our Review
Engine, Transmission, and, Performance
Ford Ranger reviews have talked the most about Ford Ranger’s engine and performance. The most important feature of any automobile is its engine. When you look under the hood of a Ford Ranger 2021, you’ll see a turbocharged 2.3 litres four-cylinder engine that generates 270 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. These features enhance the overall handling of the car, which means it’s excellent if a driver wants more control. With all Ranger trucks, you have 10-speed automatic gear, which provides quick and smooth shifts. The car has a Terrain Management System that accommodates little tweaks for when you’re in unfamiliar and rough territory for better performance. There are even four selectable modes: Normal, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud/Ruts, and Sand, which pretty much cover all terrain you’ll find in Australia.
Towing Capacity
The average customer buys a pickup truck to put its strength to use. The 2021 Ford Ranger can tow up to 7500 pounds or 3500 kilograms easily with no interference in the power drive.
Fuel Economy
With sea levels rising consistently, the trucks we drive must be efficient with their fuel consumption. The Ford Ranger accomplishes this with its rear-wheel-drive, which can earn up to 21 miles per gallon in the city and exceed 26 mph on the highway. Other Ranger versions like the all-wheel-drive and Tremor version have varying efficiencies that remain in the twenties.
Interior and Cargo
Ford Ranger has two basic models, the SuperCab and the SuperCrew. The SuperCrew is roomier with four full-size doors, whereas the SuperCab only has two. The Rangers’ cabin design and material are mostly cheap plastic; however, there are certain pieces of premium trim. Both models are comfortable and can carry a decent amount of cargo.
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
The Ford Ranger has a competitive warranty. It doesn’t have complimentary scheduled maintenance; instead, it has the following options:
- Limited warranty for 3 years or 36,000 miles
- Powertrain warranty for 5 years or 60,000 miles
Conclusion
If you want a car that can take you places, the Ford Ranger provides you with all the options. It’s comfortable and spacious and can house your entire family for a road trip. It comes with an integrated navigation and infotainment system, preventing you from being lost or bored on these long road trips. It’s built to carry your things and get you from one location to another without the hassle of depending on anyone else.
