2021 Ford RangerKey Upgrades

Interior Comfort

Slip into the driver’s seat of the 2021 Ford Ranger XL and appreciate the cloth seat trim and manual adjustable seats, plus a single-zone manual climate control. SuperCab Ranger provides rear seating for two people, while SuperCrew^® Ranger models come with room for three in the back. The XLT trim provides premium cloth seats and adds a dual-zone automatic temperature control. The Ranger Lariat gives you leather-trimmed seats, steering wheel, and door inserts, plus heated and power-adjustable front seats.

Technology

Look for an FM/AM radio with Bluetooth connectivity, four speakers, and a FordPass Connect Wi-Fi hotspot in the 2021 Ford Ranger XL. The XLT brings a modern connection with the SYNC 3 system with 8-inch touchscreen, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Apple CarPlay^®, and Android Auto^™ integration, and six speakers. A single 4.2-inch productivity screen in the XLT turns into two 4.2-inch screens in the Ranger Lariat, along with an intelligent key system and remote start.

Exterior

The 2021 Ford Ranger XL sets the standard for toughness with steel bumpers, front tow hooks in 4x4 configurations, and 16-inch wheels. Upgrade to the XLT for larger wheels and all-terrain tires with the 4x4 drivetrain. The fog lamps on the XLT gain LED bulbs in the Lariat — as do the Lariat headlights, tail lights, and daytime running lights. Power-folding mirrors make pulling into the garage easy, a power locking tailgate adds convenience, and a chrome bar grille adds style to the Lariat exterior as well.
