Off-Road Capability

With a durable body and a rugged drivetrain, the 2021 Ford Ranger is prepared for everything, from the toughest trails to the storm of the century. It’s available with all-terrain tires, skid plates, and a 16-gauge high-strength steel front bash plate.

While they’ll protect you from rocky roads and debris, the available off-road tuned monotube front shocks and aluminum-bodied rear dampers will help you traverse the most uneven roads and trails. Plus, when properly equipped, it rides high with a 9.7-inch ground clearance, so you can attack steep terrain with a 30.9-degree approach angle.

Meanwhile, the drivetrain is available with Trail Control™, a 4x4 electronic shift-on-the-fly system, and an electronic-locking rear differential that’ll help you maintain traction in any conditions. You can even make your truck more adaptable with the available Terrain Management System™. It features four selectable driving modes, including:

• Normal
• Grass/Gravel/Snow
• Mud/Ruts
• Sand
