Following its debut in numerous global markets, the redesigned 2024 Ford Ranger and Ranger Raptor were unveiled for North America last May. Interestingly, however, the all-new compact pickup has yet to record a sale in that market as of yet, even though a number of units have been built. While we wait for that to happen, we already know the most popular configurations customers are opting for, how much the 2024 Ford Ranger will cost, and even its residual values. Now, one of the final pieces to the proverbial puzzle that is the 2024 Ford Ranger has been revealed too – its EPA fuel economy ratings.
Fuel Economy Type | 2024 Ford Ranger | 2023 Ford Ranger |
---|---|---|
2.3L EcoBoost I-4 RWD | ||
City MPG | 21 | 21 |
Highway MPG | 25 | 26 |
Combined MPG | 22 | 23 |
2.3L EcoBoost I-4 4WD | ||
City MPG | 20 | 20 |
Highway MPG | 24 | 24 |
Combined MPG | 22 | 22 |
2.7L EcoBoost V6 4WD | ||
City MPG | 19 | |
Highway MPG | 23 | |
Combined MPG | 20 | |
3.0L EcoBoost V6 4WD (Raptor) | ||
City MPG | 16 | |
Highway MPG | 18 | |
Combined MPG | 17 |
Perhaps the most interesting thing about these ratings is the fact that the 2024 Ford Ranger – when equipped with the base turbocharged 2.3L I-4 EcoBoost engine – actually loses one mile-per-gallon versus the efficient outgoing model, at least in terms of highway driving and combined EPA fuel economy ratings – in two-wheel drive configuration only, that is. Otherwise, four-wheel drive models are identical to the 2023 Ranger.
Unlike the outgoing model, the 2024 Ford Ranger does offer customers more than one engine choice, as the twin-turbocharged 2.7L V6 EcoBoost is slated to be a late availability option, and in this case, buyers aren’t giving up much in terms of fuel economy – just one mpg in the city and highway, as well as two combined. Finally, we have the high performance Ranger Raptor and its twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 EcoBoost, which gets EPA ratings of 16 in the city, 18 on the highway, and 17 combined.

I bought 4 Ranger 4x4s in a row years ago 2.3 the 3.0 and the 4.0
But Ford has really dropped the ball on looks.
Both the F150 and the new Ranger are fairly weak looking in the styling department.
A more aggressive look would help sales a lot. Especially with that cheap looking grill.
“Unlike the outgoing model, the 2024 Ford Ranger does offer customers more than one engine choice, as the twin-turbocharged *2.7L I-4 EcoBoost* is slated to be a late availability option”
…… The 2.7 is not an I-4 it’s a V6
It is strange that we cannot get any information about the delivery of the 2024 Ranger even though they are produced. We ordered it 10 months ago and nobody can tell us what to expect.
When can we expect the PHEV or a Hybrid version of the new Ranger ?
looking very similar to the Bronco , Maverick releases from just a few years ago. There are enough other choices in the sector for perspective buyers to ride and drive sitting on the dealers’ lots and from pricing the window stickers I would say Ford has some work to do.
Very frustrated that Ford is selling the Ranger PHEV outside the U.S. but loyal customers inside the U.S. can’t get one. Doesn’t seem like a great wat to retain those loyal customers. Also seems like Ford just isn’t serious yet about producing the Ranger in meaningful quantities.
Why does the 2024 Ranger w/22 MPG avg. have an annual cost at $2400.00, while the 2023 F-150 w/20 MPG avg. have an annual cost of 2200.00 ?
