The Ford Ranger needs very little introduction. The first Ranger rolled off the production lines in 1982, and this ever-popular model is now in its fourth generation. This year, there are three trims for you to choose from. Let's take a close look at what they have to offer.
Trim Levels of the 2023 Ford Ranger
Common to All Trims
Before we dive into the individual specifications, we'll look at the items that are common to all of them. First up, all trims share the same tough, rugged, yet light-on-gas 2.3L EcoBoost 4-cylinder gas engine. This engine is paired with a 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission to give you smooth and flawless shifting regardless of terrain.
All trims offer the option of two or four-wheel drive and a choice between SuperCrew or SuperCab. SuperCrew increases the number of passengers from four to five, and the SuperCab option gives you a larger bed.
XL Trim
The XL sits on 16" silver steel wheels, and you have the option to increase to 17" silver or gloss black aluminum wheels. Automatic on/off halogen headlights light your way at night, and a stylish black mesh grille with surround is guaranteed to draw the eye. The interior features an eight-way manual driver's seat and a six-way manual front passenger seat.
A 2.3" productivity screen in the instrument cluster can be upgraded to a 4.2" LCD screen. In addition, you can add an 8" LCD infotainment touchscreen to the center stack. Single-zone climate control will help to keep you comfortable despite the outside weather. Safety features include pre-collision assist, emergency braking, and you can add lane-keeping assist and automatic high beam control.
XLT Trim
This trim includes everything in the XL and adds additional features like 17" silver steel wheels, remote keyless entry, and a six-speaker audio system. The climate control is upgraded to dual-zone automatic temperature control. Power exterior mirrors replace the manual ones in the XL. The 8" infotainment screen is standard, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are installed.
The steering wheel is black urethane like the XL, but you can upgrade it to a leather wrap. A power-locking tailgate makes accessing the bed easier.
Lariat Trim
As the highest trim, you get all the standard fittings of the XLT and even more. LED headlights, tail lights, and fog lamps are installed. The wheels are upgraded to 18" and have all-terrain tires. The driver's seat is now eight-way power-assisted, and the front passenger seat is six-way power-assisted. Leather-trimmed upholstery replaces the premium cloth XLT upholstery.
A rear parking sensor is standard, together with a manual-sliding rear window and auto-dimming rearview mirror. As an option, you can upgrade to a 10-speaker Bang and Olufsen audio system if you choose the SuperCab option.
