2021 Ford Ranger Release Date

To figure out the 2021 Ford Ranger release date, you only need to know when production starts. As far as we know, production should occur in December, but you can already order the new Ford Ranger from us. It might also be the time we see the new Ford Ranger Tremor.

2021 Ford Ranger Price

The 2021 Ford Ranger XL MSRP is $26,015. The XL is the base trim, so other trims start at a slightly higher price. You can also opt for several upgrade packages, which change the overall cost. Compared to the 2020 Ford Ranger, the new Ford Ranger's starting price is only slightly higher than the previous starting price of $24,410.

2021 Ford Ranger Trims & Configurations

There are three trim level options for your new 2021 Ford Ranger.

• XL ($26,015)
• XLT ($30,065)
• Lariat ($34,105)

These were also available with 2020 Ford Ranger models, so nothing significant has changed with the Ford Ranger trim levels.

Will the New 2021 Ford Ranger Have a V6 or V8 Engine?

Are you going to have the option between a 2021 Ford Ranger V6 or a 2021 Ford Ranger V8? Sadly, there won't be a new 2021 Ford Ranger engine yet. Instead, the automaker carried over the same 270-horsepower 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2020 models. The 2.3L turbo engine features an output of 310 lb-ft. of torque and plenty of towing power. Owners receive a smooth-shifting ten-speed automatic and the choice of either rear-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive.

2021 Ford Ranger Towing Capacity & Payload Rating

The 2021 Ford Ranger features a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 pounds. Plus, this Ford Ranger truck can carry up to 1,860 pounds of cargo. To achieve this capability level, you want a 2021 Ford Ranger SuperCab complete with a six-foot truck bed. Because there haven't been many updates to the new model year's powertrain, you will notice that the capability remains the same as the 2020 Ford Ranger.

2021 Ford Ranger Interior Design & Features

The 2021 Ford Ranger interior can be customized to your preferences. The Ford Ranger SuperCab configuration seats four people, whereas the SuperCrew configuration offers enough space for five. Additionally, the cabin is packed with the latest features, such as a Wi-Fi hot spot, a USB port, Bluetooth, and a four-speaker audio system.

The new 2021 Ford Ranger keeps the same exterior dimensions as the previous model measured at 211″ L x 78″ W x 71-72″ H. You can choose either the six-foot bed on SuperCab models or the five-foot bed with a SuperCrew Ranger. One thing that is different for the 2021 Ford Ranger is the addition of four new exterior paint color options. You can now get your new Ford Ranger in Cactus Gray, Carbonized Gray, Cyber Orange, or Velocity Blue.

What's New for the 2021 Ford Ranger Compared to 2020?

You have already seen a few upcoming changes to the 2021 Ford Ranger, including the exterior paint colors and the two highly-coveted exterior styling packages.

Is the 2021 Ford Ranger Raptor Coming to the States?

Car and Driver seem to think that we will one day see the Ford Ranger Raptor make its way to our shores. However, there's no indication of when or if this will occur. At this point, all we can do is speculate that it might be in the works. Indeed, enthusiasts have been anxiously waiting for more news, as have we.
