Frequently Asked Questions About the Ford Ranger
What are the 2026 Ford Ranger trim levels?
The 2026 Ford Ranger is available in four trim levels: XL, XLT, Lariat, and Raptor. All models come in the SuperCrew cab configuration with a 5-foot bed, and XL, XLT and Lariat can be ordered in 4x2 or 4x4 (4x4 adds $3,500 on the XL).

What is the towing capacity of the 2026 Ford Ranger?
Towing on the 2026 Ranger depends on engine, drivetrain and equipment. XL, XLT and Lariat offer the Trailer Tow Package, and the XLT adds an available Advanced Towing Package to go with the 2.7L EcoBoost V6's 400 lb-ft of torque. The Raptor's long-travel FOX suspension and 33-inch all-terrain tires make it the off-road specialist rather than the tow leader. Mahon Ford can quote the exact rating for the configuration you want.
What engine options does the 2026 Ford Ranger offer?
The 2026 Ranger offers three EcoBoost engines: the standard 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 (270 hp, 310 lb-ft), the available 2.7L EcoBoost V6 (315 hp, 400 lb-ft) on XLT and Lariat, and the Raptor's exclusive 3.0L twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 (405 hp, 430 lb-ft). All three pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Pricing has moved up modestly, with the XL now starting at $33,550 versus $32,980 at the 2025 launch.
What wheel and tire sizes does the 2026 Ford Ranger use?
Wheel size varies by trim on the 2026 Ranger.
