2022 Ford Ranger for Sale in Wilbraham, MA
Overview
There’s no sense having more of something than you need, and that’s why the Ford Ranger is the ideal truck for so many people. While its bigger sibling, the F-150, remains the best-selling vehicle in America for decades running, not everyone needs a full-sized workhorse. The 2022 Ranger has all the requisite toughness, thanks to its high-strength steel frame and overall rugged build, but it has the advantages of increased fuel economy and more maneuverability in small spaces. Its off-road capabilities make it a great fit for the work hard/play hard lifestyle. This model year, Ford offers the retro-fun Splash Package, bringing back the ‘90s-era colors of the original Ranger generation.
Trim Levels and Mechanical Info
With three trim levels – XL, XLT, and Lariat – and two body styles (regular cab/5-foot bed and SuperCrew/6-foot bed), the Ranger presents plenty of configurations to choose from. The powertrain is the same regardless: it’s a turbocharged four-cylinder 2.3-liter EcoBoost (270 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque) working with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is the default, but four-wheel drive is optional.
According to the official EPA fuel economy estimates, Rangers with the rear-wheel drivetrain return 21 miles per gallon around town and 26 mpg in highway driving. Four-wheel-drive Rangers are rated for 20 city and 24 highway. Models equipped with the available Tremor Off-Road Package will have added weight, bringing their fuel economy numbers down a tad to 19 mpg for both city and highway driving. The optional Trailer Tow Package will equip the Ranger to pull as much as 7,500 pounds.
XL
The XL is provided with an array of nice features – for example, automatic on/off headlights, two front tow hooks (4×4 models only), a smart-charging USB port, and an infotainment system with a 3.5-inch screen, Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a four-speaker audio system. This trim also comes with a couple more practical features sought after in a pickup, like four cargo box tie-downs and a trio of 12-volt power outlets. The XL is further set up with safety-enhancing forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking system. For a more well-rounded suite of driving aids, you can opt for the Ford Co-Pilot360 Package (which comes standard on the higher trims).
XLT
The XLT adds fog lights, a power locking tailgate, keyless entry, and dual-zone automatic climate control. It’s also supplied with Ford’s improved SYNC 3 infotainment system, which has as its primary features an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a sound system with six speakers (like the XL, it has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi as well). As we said above, the XLT gets the Ford Co-Pilot360 Package, which contains automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and lane keeping assist. Adaptive cruise control is optional.
Lariat
The Lariat receives the most premium amenities, from LED exterior lights to rear parking sensors. It also gets Intelligent Access (proximity entry), power-adjustable and heated front seats, leather upholstery (for the seats and steering wheel), an auto-dimming rearview mirror, interior mood lighting, and a 110-volt power outlet. Like the XLT, the Lariat also has Ford Co-Pilot360 and qualifies for adaptive cruise control.
