The Ford Ranger is the Perfect Work Vehicle


Everyone uses their vehicle to get them from Point A to Point B, but not everyone uses one for work. If you plan on using your vehicle for work, then you need certain features. With its excellent performance and capability, there are many reasons the Ford Ranger makes the perfect work vehicle. 


Regardless of the industry you work in, the Ford Ranger has the features you need to make your workday easier, safer, and more convenient. Learn more about this powerful midsize pickup truck below.


Built Ford Tough…Because It Is!


Built Ford Tough isn’t just a slogan; it’s what the Ranger is. This truck is up for anything thanks to its 2.3L EcoBoost engine with the best gas torque in its class. With 310 lb-ft of torque and 270 horsepower, this truck can do it all, including haul loads that weigh a lot of pounds - up to 7,500 pounds, actually!


The Ranger has a best-in-class payload, so you’re always equipped to handle anything the workday throws at you. And towing capability is made easy with the trailer sway control system, which helps reduce speed and adjust braking every time you have a load hitched to the back of your pickup truck. 


Best of all, this truck can handle all sorts of terrain and weather conditions. So if your job requires you to constantly travel, you won’t have to worry about what the road ahead may look like. Your Ranger will be able to handle it.
