2025 Ford Ranger Named North American Truck of the Year

Ford Ranger captures the prestigious 2025 North American Truck of the Year title, marking an unprecedented fifth consecutive year of Ford truck dominance in this category. The comprehensive redesign introduces advanced technology, enhanced capability, and refined performance that elevates expectations in the midsize truck segment.

This recognition from an independent jury of 50 automotive journalists highlights the Ranger's exceptional combination of practical innovation and real-world versatility. The award validates Ford's extensive global testing program, which pushed the Ranger to its limits across six continents before bringing it to Canadian roads.

Advanced Powertrains Define the Victory  

The award-winning Ranger delivers impressive performance through two available EcoBoost engine options. The standard 2.3-litre EcoBoost provides strong everyday capability, while the available 2.7-litre EcoBoost V6 raises the performance bar with enhanced power delivery and towing capacity. These powertrains work alongside an advanced suspension system that balances everyday comfort with genuine off-road capability.

Technology That Transforms Your Drive  

Inside the cabin, the Ranger introduces sophisticated technology that enhances both daily commutes and weekend adventures. The redesigned interior features a digital gauge cluster and large touchscreen display that keeps essential information within easy view. Practical innovations include class-exclusive Pro Trailer Backup Assist, wireless charging capabilities, and fold-flat rear seats that maximize interior storage options.

Performance Without Compromise  

The Ranger's capability extends beyond conventional boundaries, especially in its Raptor variant. With 405 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque from its 3.0-litre EcoBoost V6, the Ranger Raptor delivers exceptional off-road performance. Its specialized suspension system, including 2.5-inch FOX Live Valve shocks, provides the confidence to tackle challenging terrain while maintaining composed on-road manners.

Canadian drivers have embraced the Ranger's enhanced capabilities, demonstrated by a remarkable 94.3% increase in year-over-year sales. This surge reflects the growing appreciation for a midsize truck that combines practical versatility with advanced features suited to Canadian conditions.
