Ford Ranger MPG and Engine Performance
Ford decided to focus on one engine with the Ford Ranger, and it certainly paid off. The standard 2.3L Ti-VCT I4 is both powerful and efficient. It generates 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. It's paired to an electronic 10-speed transmission, which helps harness that strength and achieves an EPA-estimated 21 city/26 highway MPG.
Auto Start-Stop Technology helps boost the Ford Ranger MPG further. This standard technology will shut down the engine when you're stopped at a stop light or checking the map when you're on a remote trail. Once you move your foot off the brake pedal, it'll fire back up, so you can get moving.
There's plenty of towing strength to go along with this truck's fuel economy. It has a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 pounds. It also has a payload of up to 1,860 pounds, for the supplies that don't require a trailer.
Take the Ranger MPG to the Trails
The Ford Ranger is built for efficiency and adventure. To go along with its MPG rating, it has plenty of capability to help you tackle off-road trails. For starters, there's the available Electronic Shift-on-the-Fly 4x4 system. It'll take you from refined city streets to a rugged path with one turn of the dial.
The Ranger can also be equipped with the available Trail Controlâ„¢ system. This low-speed cruise control helps keep you at a consistent speed, so you can concentrate on navigating over tough terrain and better manage fuel consumption.
Finally, there's the Terrain Management Systemâ„¢. It lets you personalize the performance of this truck, so you can confidently tackle a variety of trail types. It includes: Normal, Sand, Grass/Gravel/Snow, and Mud/Ruts.
Truck Tips: Boosting MPG Rating
There are a few useful tricks you can employ that will help you boost the MPG rating of your Ford Ranger. First, you'll want to keep up with the regularly scheduled maintenance. This will help ensure that every component is performing at its best, so you can save fuel.
Keeping your tires properly inflated will help maximize your MPG rating, too. It maintains a low rolling resistance, so your engine won't have to work as hard to keep you moving.
Installing a tonneau cover will reduce the drag created by your truck bed and may give your fuel economy a boost. That's not all its good for, though. It can also help protect your cargo from the elements.
