When you need a light-duty pickup truck at an affordable price, the Ford truck lineup can’t be beaten. Two of the most popular models, the 2023 Ford Ranger and the 2023 Ford F-150, offer impressive capability and off-road performance for all of your adventures outside of Naperville. So, which do you choose? River View Ford is here to help with our Ford Ranger vs. Ford F-150 comparison, where we go over the pricing, capability, and drivetrain options available for these two Ford trucks. Keep reading and see which of these pickups is right for your Montgomery lifestyle!

Ford Ranger vs. Ford F-150: Capabilities

The biggest difference between the Ford Ranger and the F-150 is their overall performance. While the Ford Ranger offers a capable 2.3L EcoBoost® engine that can go head-to-head with the standard F-150 3.3L Ti-VCT V6 engine, it is the only engine available among the Ranger trim levels. The Ford F-150, on the other hand, offers a selection of six different engines, all with varying power, so that you can fine-tune your pickup’s performance for your Yorkville jobs. Compare the Ford F-150 vs. Ford Ranger standard engines below:

Ford Ranger Standard Capabilities

  • Engine: 2.3L Ecoboost Engine
  • Horsepower: 270 hp
  • Torque: 310 lb-ft
  • Transmission: 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission

Ford F-150 Standard Capabilities

  • Standard Engine: 3.3L Ti-VCT V6 Engine
  • Horsepower: 290 hp
  • Torque: 265 lb-ft
  • Transmission: Electronic 10-speed automatic transmission

Due to the wide range of Ford F-150 engines to choose from, the F-150 offers more towing and hauling capabilities across the lineup, capable of up to 14,000 pounds of towing capacity compared to the Ranger’s 7,500 pounds of towing capacity on its one engine.

Ford F-150 vs. Ford Ranger: Hybrid Options

Another way that the selection of drivetrains on the Ford F-150 beats out the Ford Ranger is that the F-150 offers a hybrid engine. Get the best of both worlds with the 2023 F-150, able to reach up to 430 hp and 570 lb-ft of torque with its PowerBoost™ full hybrid V6 engine while still remaining fuel-efficient. The 2023 Ranger does not offer a hybrid option, nor an engine with as much power, making this one area in which the Ford F-150 far outpaces the Ranger.

Ford Ranger vs. Ford F-150: Pricing

The differences in capability and versatility between these two Ford trucks is obvious in their starting prices. While the Ford F-150 may have more range and power, the Ford Ranger’s towing, hauling, and off-roading ability comes at a much lower starting cost. See the Ford Ranger vs. Ford F-150 starting prices below:

  • 2023 Ford Ranger Starting Price – $27,400 Starting MSRP
  • 2023 Ford F-150 Starting Price – $33,695 Starting MSRP
