2025 Ford Ranger Wins Edmunds Top Rated Award

Redesigned in North America for the 2024 model year, the 2025 Ford Ranger wound up bringing home North American Truck of the Year honors recently – the fifth straight such win for The Blue Oval. However, the 2025 Ford Ranger seemingly isn’t done adding accolades to its trophy case, as Edmunds just just released its 2025 Top Rated award winners list, and the mid-size model took home top honors in the all-encompassing truck segment this time around.

The 2025 Ford Ranger has officially earned the title of 2025 Edmunds Top Rated Truck, a category that includes compact, mid-size, full-size, and heavy-duty segments. In this particular category, Edmunds looks at areas including capability, comfort, technology, value, and innovation, along with the general areas of driving, interior, technology, storage, and fuel economy that are considered in each specific category.

In that regard, the 2025 Ford Ranger stood out with an overall score of 8.2 out of 10 possible points, with Edmunds saying that the pickup “is so much more refined than the previous generation you would barely believe they shared a lineage.” The company praised the new Ranger for its quality interior that contains plenty of physical buttons and controls, an easy-to-use infotainment screen, and a bevy of driver aids. Edmunds also praised the 2025 Ford Ranger for its ability to function as a workhorse, noting that it “packs tons of capability, including a maximum of 7,500 pounds of towing capacity and 1,805 pounds of maximum payload capacity when properly equipped. Few truck owners can claim to need more.”

Edmunds has been handing out its Top Rated awards since 2020, based on its own vehicle testing – which encompassed over 300 models and more than 500,000 miles this time around. “The Edmunds Top Rated Awards honor the best vehicles on sale today,” said Alistair Weaver, Edmunds’ editor-in-chief. “In 2025, car shoppers are continuing to battle high purchase costs, and our winners combine all-round excellence with a fine value. Put simply, these are the cars, trucks and SUVs we’d advise our friends and family to buy.”
