Choosing the perfect truck will largely depend on what you need your vehicle for. Are you looking for a durable work truck to haul cargo from site to site? Or maybe you want a vehicle that can get your family where they need to go and provide you with the power and space to haul everything for your next adventure. Two models you should definitely consider for your next truck purchase are the 2020 Ford Ranger and the 2020 F-150. Keep reading to find out how the two stack up against each other.
Power and Performance
When it comes to power and performance, both models are up to handle any task. The new 2020 Ford Ranger features a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine with a twin-scroll turbocharger. This produces an impressive 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, which boasts smooth and quick shifting for easy handling on the road. The powerful engine can help the Ranger tow up to 7,500 lbs when it is properly equipped.
When opting for the 2020 Ford F-150, you will have six engine options to choose from, including a 3.0-liter Power Stroke Diesel, 2.7-liter EcoBoost, 3.5-liter EcoBoost, high-output 3.5-liter EcoBoost, 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V-8, and 3.3-liter Ti-VCT V-6. This allows you to find the ideal mix of power and performance to suit your lifestyle.
Safety and Security
Both vehicles provide drivers and passengers with ample safety features, which can help protect you in the event of an accident and also reduce the risk of an accident occurring. Both models come equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360’s host of driver assistance features, including pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot information system with trailer coverage, cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assist, and a rearview camera.
The Ford Ranger also includes driving and hauling assistance features such as pro trailer backup assist, hill descent control, automatic high-beam headlights, and adaptive cruise control with stop/start technology.
Options Packages
Another consideration when choosing between the F-150 and the Ranger is their options packages. While both offer plenty of optional features, you might need to choose one package over the other to meet your everyday needs. The Ranger provides the option of both black and chrome appearance packages as well as a number of box cover options, including hard folding and retractable. It also offers off-road, sport, and technology packages to provide you with the features you are looking for to truly customize your vehicle.
The F-150 features multiple appearance and off-roading packages. It also offers both a max trailer and trailer tow package, as well as stowable loading ramps, to make hauling cargo a breeze. Other options include a tough bed spray-in bed liner, twin-panel moonroof, and a weather guard cross bed toolbox.
