5 Reasons to Test Drive the 2025 Ford Bronco

The 2025 Ford Ranger won the prestigious 2025 North American Truck of the Year, and it's easy to see why. Equally at home off-road or on the highway, the Ranger is the perfect vehicle for work or play. There are many reasons to love the Ford Ranger, and we're going to look at a few of them. more 4 Reasons Drivers Love the 2025 Ford Ranger EcoBoost Engines EcoBoost engines are an innovative Ford design that reduces engine size and weight while increasing engine power and performance. This type of engine also saves you money as you need fewer trips to the pump due to its enhanced fuel efficiency. Central to the EcoBoost's success is the combination of three advanced technologies. Direct Fuel Injection involves injecting fuel under high pressure directly into the combustion chambers, increasing combustion power and delivering greater fuel efficiency. Variable Camshaft Timing adjusts the timing of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft, improving fuel efficiency at different speeds. Finally, Turbocharging improves airflow into the engine, providing greater engine power while reducing engine size. Excellent Fuel Efficiency As we saw above, the EcoBoost is very efficient, but how does that translate into everyday driving? The standard 2.3L EcoBoost engine with 270hp will give you 21 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. This gives you a driving range of 460 miles on a full tank of gas. If you choose the large 3.0L V6 EcoBoost, it easily meets 16 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway, giving you a range of 340 miles without needing to fill up. Driver and Infotainment Technology The standard digital display is 8.0" wide and features all the information you need directly in front of you, and it can be upgraded to the even easier-to-see 12.4" version. The infotainment systems are controlled via a 10.1" full-color touchscreen powered by advanced Synch-4A technology. This touchscreen can also be upgraded to the available 12.0" vertical screen. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are installed, allowing you easy, hands-free access to all the information on your smartphone. Sirius XM is also installed, and every new Ranger includes a complimentary one-year subscription, allowing you to experience thousands of channels of news, entertainment, and sports on the go. Towing and Carrying Capacity Without any additional equipment, the Ranger can haul up to 3,500 pounds with the bumper itself. If you add the available Tow Hitch Package, this rises to 7,500 pounds. Depending on the trim you choose, this package can add additional features, like Reverse Parking Sensors, Pro Trailer Backup Assist, a 360-degree camera system, and a Trailer Brake Controller.
