The 2025 Ford Ranger is a midsize pickup that splits the difference as an affordable option between the compact Ford Maverick and the larger Ford F-150. That being said, the 2025 model year brought about some minor price changes for the Ranger, making it slightly more expensive than the 2024 model. However, opting for the priciest option in the lineup can cost you approximately $61,000, which is certainly no small change.
To get that figure, we’re picking the range-topping model in the lineup, which is, of course, the 2025 Ford Ranger Raptor. By itself without any optional upgrades tacked on, that trim costs $57,315, including the $1,595 destination freight charge (DFC). While there are plenty of paint colors that don’t add any extra cost to the midsize pickup, the most expensive option is the $995 Azure Gray Metallic Tri-Coat paint, so we’re adding that one to our test subject.
The 2025 Ford Ranger Raptor is already equipped with a myriad of premium options like electronic locking axles and the Advanced Towing Package, so those don’t add anything to its price tag. However, the pickup is offered with a set of $1,495 17-inch forged beadlock capable wheels, which not only add a rugged look to the Ranger Raptor, but they offer improved performance over rough terrain than the stock wheels.
Finally, opting for the Raptor Exterior Graphics Package adds $750 to the cost of the 2025 Ford Ranger Raptor. These exterior graphics help differentiate the Ranger Raptor from its “regular” brethren, offering a look that’s further customized for buyers who want to proudly proclaim their pickup’s heritage. We’re also adding the cargo management rail option, which is a dealer-installed feature that bumps the price by $580.
All those options nudge the price of the 2025 Ford Ranger Raptor to $61,135. By comparison, the base Ranger XL starts at $32,980, excluding DFC. While there are more affordable variants in the Ranger line, like the Ranger Lariat – which itself runs approximately $53,000 when properly optioned – the Ranger Raptor offers an off-road-ready pickup right from the factory, making it a decent buy for customers in search of a rugged ride.

Still waiting on the PHEV or Hybrid, hopefully in ’26.
Most dealerships know what sells and what doesn’t and hopefully they order inexpensive units in white for their commercial customers. Same thoughts should be applied for F-150.
