Work-Ready. No Compromise.

The 2026 Ford Ranger XL is the work-ready foundation of Ford's midsize truck lineup. Standard 2.3L EcoBoost with 270 hp, 7,500-lb max towing, the SuperCrew 4-door configuration, and a 5-foot bed come standard on every XL. Available in 4x2 (standard) or 4x4 for tougher conditions.

Don't let "work-ready" fool you. The 2026 XL comes standard with the 10.1-inch SYNC 4A touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, FordPass Connect with Wi-Fi hotspot, Co-Pilot360 safety, LED reflector headlamps, and Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking.

NEW for 2026: The FX4 Off-Road Package is now available on XL — making the XL the most affordable path to Trail Control, off-road shocks, exposed bash guards, and the locking rear differential in the entire Ranger lineup. Pair it with 4x4 for true off-road capability without stepping up to XLT pricing.

Up to 7,500 lb Towing

Properly equipped with the available Trailer Tow Package, the XL tows up to 7,500 lbs — matches every other Ranger except Raptor.

FX4 Off-Road (NEW 2026)
