A midsize Ranger can put in a full workweek and still be ready for a weekend in the dirt, all without the bulk of a full-size pickup. Fiesta Ford, the local Ford dealer at 78990 Varner Road in Indio, helps Coachella Valley drivers land on the right configuration. You might need a straightforward XL for a landscaping or ag crew, an XLT or Lariat to pull a boat to Lake Cahuilla, or a Raptor built for the sandy washes around Box Canyon. Our team gathers every Ranger trim, engine and package in one spot so the choice is clear.
Review the Ranger inventory above, then work through the guides below to find the truck that suits how you work, tow and explore the desert.
With the Trailer Tow Package and the right setup, the Ranger pulls up to 7,500 lbs using either the 2.3L EcoBoost® or the 2.7L EcoBoost V6, and Ford lists payload at up to 1,767 lbs. That is plenty for a boat, a side-by-side or an equipment trailer.
Each Ranger pairs an EcoBoost engine with a 10-speed automatic. Output begins at 270 hp and climbs to 405 hp from the twin-turbo 3.0L V6 under the hood of the Ranger Raptor®.
Available electronic shift-on-the-fly 4×4 and the FX4 Off-Road Package, which adds an electronic-locking rear differential, skid protection and Trail Control™, give you confidence on sandy washes and rocky tracks around the Salton Sea.
XL comes with a 10-inch SYNC 4A center touchscreen and an 8-inch digital cluster. Lariat moves up to a 12-inch center screen paired with a 12-inch cluster, and XLT can add the 12-inch displays as an option.
Each Ranger trim adds to the one before it. Use the table to see where they land, then let our team line up equipped trucks so you can compare in person.
