2020 Ford Ranger XL 4WD Automatic

Oxford White EcoBoost 2.3L I4 GTDi DOHC Turbocharged VCT 4WD Ford Ranger 20/24 City/Highway MPGThe 2020 Ford Ranger XL with the FX4 Off-Road Package and STX Appearance Package is the truck equivalent of a mullet. Business in the front, party in the mud. It may wear an XL badge, but this Ranger shows up like a full-blown adventurer who shaved, put on cologne, and then cannonballed into a mud pit for fun.Let us start with what powers this compact beast. It comes with a 2.3 liter EcoBoost turbocharged four cylinder that punches out 270 horsepower and 310 pound feet of torque. That means it is got more torque than a V6 Tacoma and just enough sass to make V8 trucks glance nervously when the light turns green. It is mated to a 10 speed automatic transmission, which is more gears than most people have socks. Smooth shifts, plenty of punch, and fuel economy that does not make you cry at the pump. Combined MPG hovers around 22, so you can still afford tacos after a weekend of trail conquering.Now, let us talk FX4 Off-Road Package. This thing is like sending your Ranger to an off-road boot camp and coming back with a six pack, a compass, and a weirdly intense stare. It includes off-road tuned shocks, skid plates to protect your vital bits, and an electronic locking rear differential that makes wheel slippage beg for mercy. It also has a Terrain Management System that lets you switch between Normal, Grass Gravel Snow, Mud Ruts, and Sand, which sounds like a menu at an off-road buffet. There is also Trail Control, which is basically cruise control for crawling over natures worst ideas at low speed. Just press the button and let the truck pretend it is a mountain goat.The FX4 decal on the side screams I know how to use recovery straps. But the STX Appearance Package is where things get fancy. This includes 18 inch machined alloy wheels that say I can look good even when dirty. It gets body colored bumpers and grille so it looks less like a rental and more like something your cool uncle would drive. The fog lights are a subtle flex for your early morning fishing trip or late night burrito run. Inside, you get an 8 inch touchscreen with SYNC 3, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth, so your playlist can still slap even when you are bouncing through a forest. The dual zone climate control helps keep you cool while your passenger freezes because they dressed for summer and it is clearly fall.Safety wise, it comes with Fords Co Pilot 360 which includes things like pre collision assist, rear view camera, and lane keeping assist. This means your truck watches your back while you pretend you are on an overlanding expedition, even if you are just at the grocery store parking lot with questionable curb clearance.Functionally, this truck tows up to 7500 pounds, hauls about 1500 in the bed, and has just enough attitude to get you kicked out of the HOA meeting. It fits in garages but still looks good at trailheads. It is not the biggest, loudest, or flashiest truck out there, but it punches above its weight and does not ask for attention. It earns it.So if you are looking for a midsize truck that can rock mud boots on the weekend, wear a suit on Monday, and never complain about either, the 2020 Ranger XL with FX4 and STX has your back. It is the reliable friend with a wild side and just enough polish to meet your mom.Come to www.utahmitsubishi.com To See Our Specials!! Call us at (801) 572-3100 For help with any of our departments!
