Ford Ranger Named 2025 North American Truck of the Year

The Ford Ranger recently earned the prestigious title of 2025 North American Truck of the Year. This marks the fifth consecutive year that a Ford truck has received this esteemed recognition, solidifying Ford’s reputation for delivering industry-leading innovation, performance, and durability in the truck segment.

For customers in Lebanon, PA, and beyond, the 2024 Ford Ranger represents the pinnacle of midsize truck engineering. Redesigned to meet the demands of adventurous drivers, the Ranger sets a new standard for capability, comfort, and cutting-edge technology. With its Built Ford Tough pedigree, the 2024 Ranger is ready to tackle any terrain while keeping drivers connected and confident on every journey.

Raising the Bar for Midsize Trucks

Ford’s commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of the 2024 Ford Ranger. Under the hood, customers can choose between the standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine or an available, more powerful 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6. Both options deliver exceptional power and torque, ensuring the Ranger is ready for both daily commutes and off-road escapades.

The Ranger is not just tough—it’s smart. Advanced driver-assist technologies like Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane-Keeping Assist, and class-exclusive Pro Trailer Backup Assist make towing, navigating, and parking easier than ever. With available Zone Lighting, over-the-air updates, and a new interior featuring digital gauge clusters, large touchscreen displays, wireless charging, and fold-flat rear seats, the Ranger combines practicality with cutting-edge convenience.

The High-Performance Ranger Raptor

For thrill-seekers, the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor is the ultimate off-road companion. Designed and engineered by Ford Performance, the Ranger Raptor takes off-road capability to unprecedented levels. Powered by a class-leading 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 that delivers an incredible 405 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, the Ranger Raptor is built to dominate rugged trails and challenging landscapes.

Equipped with long-travel suspension, Watts link rear suspension, and class-exclusive FOX 2.5-inch Live Valve shocks, the Ranger Raptor delivers unmatched performance over uneven terrain. Tested in the grueling Baja 1000, this high-performance truck proves its capability in some of the harshest environments on Earth. Whether you’re exploring rocky trails or speeding through sandy deserts, the Ranger Raptor is designed to excel.

A Truck Built for Adventure

The Ford Ranger’s global reputation for toughness is well-earned. It has been rigorously tested across six continents, from the Australian outback to American highways. Its versatility makes it an ideal choice for drivers who want a midsize truck that’s as capable on the job site as it is on weekend getaways.

The 2024 Ford Ranger offers best-in-class towing technology, improved suspension, and enhanced off-road capabilities to help customers embrace adventure with confidence. Features like improved bed access and smart storage solutions ensure the Ranger is as functional as it is fun to drive.

Recognized for Excellence

The Ford Ranger and Ranger Raptor are proudly assembled in the U.S. at the Michigan Assembly Plant, continuing Ford’s legacy of producing trucks that embody the strength, resilience, and ingenuity of American manufacturing.

Selected by an independent jury of 50 automotive journalists from across the U.S. and Canada, this recognition underscores the Ranger’s position as a leader in the midsize truck market.

Jim Baumbick, Ford’s vice president of Advanced Product Development, Cycle Plan, and Programs, expressed his pride in the Ranger’s success, stating, “We rigorously tested Ranger in challenging environments around the world to deliver the Built Ford Tough durability our customers demand. This award is a tribute to our customers who inspire us every day.”
