2023 Ford Ranger vs. 2022 Ford Ranger: Is There A Big Difference?

March 1st, 2024 by

With the introduction of the 2023 Ford Ranger and its slight price increase compared to the 2022 model, many potential buyers are eager to know the key differences and similarities between the two models. If you’re one of them, we hope this comprehensive comparison will help you choose the right model for your needs.

Pricing and Value

The 2023 Ford Ranger starts at $27,400, which is approximately $1,400 more than the 2022 Ford Ranger’s starting price of $25,980. While the pricing difference exists, you should explore any significant changes in trim levels or standard features that may justify the variation and added value. 

Engine and Performance

Both the 2023 and 2022 Ford Rangers share similar performance features, equipped with a robust turbocharged 2.3L four-cylinder engine generating 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, coupled with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Additionally, both models can tow up to 7,500 pounds and carry payloads weighing up to 1,905 pounds, showcasing their impressive power and capability.

Fuel efficiency remains consistent between the 2023 and 2022 Ford Rangers, with both achieving an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city and 26 mpg highway for a combined 23 mpg with the 4×2 drivetrain. The 2023 4WD Ranger shows a very slight improvement in city driving with an EPA-estimated 20 mpg compared to the 2022 4WD Ranger’s 19 mpg.

Interior and Convenience

The 2023 and 2022 Ford Rangers offer two body styles (SuperCab and SuperCrew) and three trim models (XL, XLT, and Lariat). The base XL trim model provides roomy seating and essential creature comforts like air conditioning and a four-speaker sound system. 

The higher XLT trim introduces modern features, including the smartphone-friendly SYNC 3 infotainment system and dual-zone automatic climate control, along with safety aids like blind-spot warning and lane-keeping assistance. 

At the top of the line, the Lariat offers a luxurious experience with stylish leather upholstery and LED headlamps, further customizable with the exclusive 501A package.

Safety and Security

The 2022 Ford Ranger received a four-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA, with five stars for crashworthiness on the front driver side and four stars on the passenger side. The 2023 model year boasts similar safety ratings from the NHTSA, and so far, no recalls have been issued. 

Both model years offer advanced safety features, with standard forward collision warning and crash-imminent braking. Lane departure warning is optional at the base XL trim level.
