2023 Ford Ranger Release Date

Overseas, the 2023 Ford Ranger will begin rolling off of the production line early in 2022. It’s unclear how much later it will be until the Ranger is produced in North America.

2023 Ford Ranger Highlights

Not only will there be some updates to the interior features, but the new Ranger might have an updated look for 2023. It becomes more muscular and less car-like.

2023 Ford Ranger Trims & Price

We don’t expect many changes to the trim levels of the 2023 Ranger. However, there could be new cab configurations.

  • Extended Cab/Long Bed | $27,500 (est.)
  • Crew Cab/Short Bed | $30,000 (est.)

2023 Ford Ranger Engine

The 2023 Ford Ranger has a 2.3-liter turbo-four, outputting 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. While a diesel option is available in other countries, we probably won’t see it here. This engine will combine with a ten-speed automatic transmission.

2023 Ford Ranger Fuel Capacity & MPG

It’s unclear what the fuel capacity and economy will be yet. However, we expect it will be similar to the current model at 21/26 mpg with rear-wheel drive and 20/24 mpg with four-wheel configurations.

2023 Ford Ranger Bed Length

The 2023 Ford Ranger comes with two bed length options. With the crew cab, the Ranger includes a five-foot bed; however, the extended cab truck includes a six-foot bed instead.

2023 Ford Ranger Technology

The 2023 Ford Ranger comes with a 10.1-inch touchscreen and the SYNC 4 infotainment system. There’s also an available 12-inch screen to choose from. Other features carry over from the 2022 Ford Ranger.

2023 Ford Ranger Safety Features

It’s still unclear what safety features the 2023 Ford Ranger will include. However, we know that the previous standard equipment will still be available, such as a rearview camera, automatic emergency braking, the MyKey system and forward collision warning.

2023 Ford Ranger Specs & Performance

You can outfit the 2023 Ford Ranger with rear-wheel drive, along with part-time or full-time four-wheel drive systems. The latter of these options make the best choice for anyone planning to rock crawl or hit the trails.

The 2023 Ford Ranger holds four to five people, depending on the configuration. There are also a variety of trim levels, offering a work truck interior to something more luxurious.

2023 Ford Ranger Exterior and Colors

Overview

Ford's mid-size Ranger pickup truck will be redesigned for the 2023 model year. It adopts bolder front-end styling inspired by the larger F-150. While Ford has said it will offer the new Ranger with a turbodiesel V-6 in some markets, we expect the American version will be powered by the same turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine as the current truck with rear-wheel drive as standard. A four-wheel drive system is optional, and we could see a hybrid powertrain option join the lineup too—but we're most excited about the prospect of a high-performance Raptor variant. There will be two distinct body styles: a four-door crew cab and an extended cab model with two rear half-doors. The cabin receives a similar makeover, featuring a large, vertically-oriented infotainment system similar to what's found in the Edge SUV.

What's New for 2023?

This next-generation Ranger will be all-new, and we expect it to go on sale in 2022 as a 2023 model.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

    Without more details about the new Ranger's pricing or its standard and optional features, we can't make a recommendation on which one is the best value. But we'd suggest the roomier crew cab model for anyone who's planning on using the rear seat for toting passengers. When more information becomes available, we'll update this story with details.

    Engine, Transmission, and Performance

    While Ford could pull a switcheroo, we think the new Ranger will come with the same turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder as the outgoing model. In our experience, this engine provides ample power to hustle the mid-size truck around, and we don't expect that to change with the new model. Ford says it will offer a turbodiesel V-6 in other markets but we don't think it will make its way to North America. A variety of transmissions are available, including a six-speed manual and a 10-speed automatic, but we think Ford will stick with the 10-speed as standard equipment on Rangers in the U.S.

      Towing and Payload Capacity

      The current model is capable of towing up to 7500 pounds, which puts it near the top of its class for mid-size pickups. We expect the new model to offer similar capability.

      Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

      Inside, the Ranger's cabin receives a modern look with an available digital gauge display, textured dashboard trim, and honey-comb patterned air vents. Most of the truck's various controls and buttons have been digitized and are now part of the infotainment system. Ford has incorporated several interior storage solutions into the new Ranger's interior design, including a hidden upper glovebox in the dashboard, larger door pocket cubbies, and storage located under the truck's rear seat.

      Infotainment and Connectivity

      A large 10.1-inch infotainment display is standard across the Ranger lineup for 2023, and buyers with a focus on tech can upgrade to an even bigger, vertically-oriented 12.1-inch screen. Ford's latest Sync 4 interface runs on both and provides access to the Ranger's various controls, including activating a new zone-lighting feature that turns on lights on the outside of the truck to light a jobsite or provide illumination to finish setting up camp in the dark. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will likely be standard and we expect extras such as in-dash navigation, a B&O Play stereo system, and SiriusXM satellite radio to also be offered.

      As more information becomes available, we'll update this story with more details about:

      • Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
      • Infotainment and Connectivity
      • Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
      • Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

      When can a 2023 Ford Ranger be ordered?

      Orders will be open from July onward, and the truck will be made in Michigan. The new Ford Ranger will offer three diesel engine options: a 2.0-liter Ecoboost, a 3.3-liter V6, and a 3-liter V6 turbodiesel.

      What is the Ranger Lariat package?

      The Ranger Lariat gives you leather-trimmed seats, steering wheel, and door inserts, plus heated and power-adjustable front seats.

      Is the Ford Ranger changing in 2023?

      Ford's mid-size Ranger pickup truck will be redesigned for the 2023 model year. It adopts bolder front-end styling inspired by the larger F-150.

      Is the 2023 Ford Ranger worth waiting for?

      While the 2022 Ford F-150 has its fair share of Raptor models, from the 450-horsepower 'regular' to the 5.2L Supercharged Raptor R, it's the smaller 2023 Ranger Raptor that piques our interest. In fact, we reckon this off-road-ready Ranger has so much potential that it's worth waiting for its arrival here.
