The Ford Ranger has always been one of the brand's most popular models and for good reason. It boasts aggressive but stylish good looks, a spacious cabin, and a good helping of standard tech. The latest generation has not only improved upon these strengths but also shored up some of the weak points, like a somewhat unrefined ride and a slightly unsophisticated cabin. Updates to the interior include better materials, a more refined look to the dash, a large touchscreen and driver-information display, and more comforts as standard. The ride quality has improved a bit, but this is still a hardy truck that feels a little more at home off the road than on it. Trailering remains solid at 7,500 lbs. Overall, the next-gen Ranger is simply a better version of an already good truck and it is perfectly positioned to outpace and outshine its more modern rivals like the Chevy Colorado.
