0.06 -> In 2019, Ford brought the Ranger back to North  America, but it was essentially an older,  
5.4 -> overseas-market vehicle that couldn't compete  with the latest midsize pickup trucks. Finally,  
10.44 -> a new Ranger has been unveiled for  the 2024 model year, and it looks  
14.58 -> like it will address many of the previous  generation's shortcomings. The new Ranger  
18.66 -> will slot between the smaller Maverick  and larger F-150 in Ford's truck lineup.
24 -> The current Ranger was outdated from  the moment it arrived in North America,  
27.36 -> as it was essentially a warmed-over version of  a Ranger that had been sold overseas for several  
32.16 -> years. This hindered Ford's midsize pickup  truck from being a true competitor against  
36.54 -> newer midsize trucks. However, with the debut of  the 2024 Ranger, it looks like this is changing.
43.08 -> While the new Ranger rides on an updated  version of the previous platform and will  
47.04 -> likely use a similar powertrain to the Ranger  on sale now, the changes seem significant  
51.18 -> enough to make the Ranger a true contender  against the segment's latest and greatest.
55.44 -> One of the most noticeable changes to  the 2024 Ranger is its macho styling and  
60 -> high-tech interior. It's also expected  to have hybrid and electric models,  
64.14 -> which should give the Ranger an advantage in the  electrified pickup truck race. While we don't  
68.76 -> yet know the official North American specs  or how it drives, we're eager to find out.
73.38 -> It's expected that the previous  Ranger's 2.3-liter turbocharged I-4  
77.64 -> and 10-speed automatic transmission  will carry over to the 2024 model,  
81.06 -> but with slight increases in output over  its current 270 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque,  
87.12 -> and updated shift performance  or ratios in the 10-speed auto.
90.72 -> Basic Rangers will likely be rear-wheel drive,  with part-time and full-time 4WD systems offered  
96.12 -> depending on the trim level. If any aspects of the  previous Ranger carry over into the 2024 model,  
101.58 -> this powertrain is welcome since it was one  of the few things we liked about that truck.
106.2 -> It's unlikely that the turbodiesel  and manual transmission options  
109.62 -> available in other markets will be  offered in North America. However,  
113.1 -> Ford has already indicated that there will  be an electrified Ranger in the future,  
116.7 -> so it's only a matter of time before  hybrid or all-electric models debut,  
120.6 -> possibly shared with the Bronco's hybrid  powertrain or derived from the F-150 Lightning.
126.06 -> The 2024 Ranger rides on a modified  version of the previous frame,  
130.14 -> which has been made wider and longer.  This allows for a larger bed that  
134.1 -> can fit a pallet or sheet of plywood flat  between the wheel wells, according to Ford.
138.54 -> Bed lengths are still to be determined,  but it appears that crew-cab/short bed  
142.92 -> and extended cab/long-bed configurations  of the truck will be available. We expect  
147.6 -> the payload and towing capacities to  improve slightly from the previous  
150.84 -> Ranger's ratings of up to 1,905 pounds  of payload and 7,500 pounds of towing.
156.84 -> The 2024 Ford Ranger will feature a  high-tech interior with two available  
160.74 -> infotainment touchscreens, sized at 10.1- and  12.0-inches, respectively. These screens will  
167.22 -> be portrait-oriented and utilize Ford's Sync 4  user interface, which supports Apple CarPlay and  
172.2 -> Android Auto. The truck's gauge display will be  all-digital and may come as standard equipment.
177.66 -> Additionally, the front row will feature both USB  type-A and type-C ports, and a wireless charging  
183.36 -> pad will be included depending on the trim level.  A 360-degree camera system will also be available,  
189 -> and it may even be able to show a view of  the path ahead, similar to the Bronco's  
193.14 -> trail driving modes. Overall, these features  make the 2024 Ford Ranger a competitive choice  
198.96 -> in the midsize pickup truck segment, especially  for those who value technology and convenience.
