Build your shortlist
Find your kind of Ranger.
The 2026 Ranger lineup includes XL, XLT, Lariat and Raptor. Use these starting points, then compare the actual window sticker, powertrain and installed equipment. Inventory may include other model years.
Lariat
Consider Lariat when cabin comfort and technology are priorities. Ask for a demonstration of the exact truck's seating, cameras and other equipment.
Raptor
Compare Raptor when off-road driving is part of your plans. Its equipment and ratings differ from other Ranger models; review capability, ride and daily usability together.
Review Ford's 2026 Ranger model guide. Trim descriptions do not guarantee current local availability.
Choose around your everyday drive
Bring your crew. Bring your gear list.
Compare Ranger trucks by the jobs you need them to do. Ask our team to explain the powertrain, drivetrain and equipment on each VIN instead of choosing by trim name alone.
Cab and comfort
Try the front and rear seats, cab access and everyday storage. Bring your passengers when practical, and follow the owner's manual for child-restraint installation.
Bed and hauling
Bring the dimensions and loaded weight of your usual gear. Check bed access, tie-downs and the truck's payload label. Accessories and passengers use available payload.
Your daily route
Check visibility, parking fit and driving feel on a test drive that resembles your routine around Metairie, New Orleans or Kenner. Compare 4x2 and available 4x4 trucks where offered.
Share preferred stock numbers, features and visit times. Our sales team must confirm the vehicle and appointment.
Match the truck to your trailer
Towing starts with the right configuration.
Ford lists a maximum available towing capacity of up to 7,500 pounds for the 2026 Ranger when properly equipped with the available Trailer Tow Package. This is not the rating of every Ranger; Raptor has different ratings. Verify the exact VIN and model-year guide.
Bring loaded trailer details.
Share loaded trailer weight and tongue weight, plus passengers, cargo and accessories. Ask us to review the applicable Ford guide, vehicle labels, hitch and installed towing equipment together.
Check every applicable limit.
Payload, axle, hitch and combined-weight limits all matter. Trailer tongue weight uses available payload. Follow the owner's manual and the lowest applicable rating; an advertised maximum alone does not confirm suitability.
Find Ford's model-year towing guides. Ratings and required equipment vary by configuration.
