2025 Ford Ranger - Murrieta, CA
Ford brings back the Ranger in 2025 with one thing in mind: helping drivers do what they need to do. The 2025 Ford Ranger is back, and it’s better than ever. Drivers who’ve stuck with Ford trucks over the years know what the Ranger name means: solid, dependable, easy to drive, and ready to get things done. Now, Ford has brought back that same thinking with some fresh updates that still stay true to what made the Ford Ranger work in the first place. At Raceway Ford near Murrieta, we have the latest version of this well-known pickup, and we’re ready to help drivers see how it can be a good fit for their day-to-day needs.
FOX Racing Shocks
The FOX Racing Shocks in the 2025 Ford Ranger change how the truck handles rough roads. If you’re driving across uneven ground, the shocks absorb more of the bounce and give you a smoother experience. You won’t feel like you’re being thrown around. Instead, the truck stays more level, and you stay in control. What makes FOX Racing Shocks different is that they adjust as you go. So if the road changes from smooth to rough, they react quickly. You don’t have to do anything. You’ll just notice that the truck doesn’t shake as much. This matters when you’re driving through work sites, open land, or unfinished roads. It also helps the truck stay steady if you’re hauling something heavy in the back. The 2025 Ford Ranger feels more settled, and you don’t have to slow down as much to deal with bumps or dips.
Watts-Link Suspension
The Watts-Link Suspension in the 2025 Ford Ranger helps keep the truck more balanced, especially when you’re turning or carrying weight. Think of it like a strong link that holds the back of the truck steady. Instead of letting the rear wheels move too far from side to side, it keeps everything in line. When you’re driving a truck, you want to know it’s going to move how you expect it to. Some trucks feel loose when you take a sharp turn or hit a curve. That’s where the Watts-Link helps. When you turn the wheel, the truck responds without sliding or wobbling. It also helps with towing. If you’re pulling a trailer or carrying gear, the suspension keeps the truck from sagging or swinging. That gives you more peace of mind. The system does its job in the background. You won’t notice it working, but you will notice the truck feeling more stable.
Drive Modes
The 2025 Ford Ranger comes with different drive modes that adjust how the truck acts depending on where you are. Just turn a dial or press a button, and the truck changes how it handles things like throttle, traction, and braking. There’s a mode for everyday streets, one for muddy ground, one for sand, and one for towing. Each mode changes the way the truck responds to help you move through that condition without needing to guess what settings to use. If the ground is wet or slippery, you can switch to a mode that helps the tires grip better. If you’re towing something, you pick a mode that adds more power where it’s needed. This makes the 2025 Ford Ranger more flexible. You can take it on different types of ground or use it for different kinds of work. It’s still the same truck, but it works smarter for you.
Trail Control
Trail Control works like a low-speed assistant when you’re moving over uneven ground. You set a steady speed, and the truck keeps it without needing you to push the gas or brakes. That leaves you to focus only on steering. Let’s say you’re going through loose gravel or a steep path. Normally, you’d have to keep your foot just right on the gas to avoid slipping or stalling. Trail Control takes care of that part. It keeps the truck moving at a steady pace so you can steer carefully and keep your eyes on what’s ahead. It’s a feature that can make a big difference if you’re driving over rocky paths, ruts, or ditches. The truck moves forward slowly and steadily. If you’ve ever gotten stuck trying to feather the gas pedal on a bumpy road, you’ll see the benefit here right away.
In-Bed Power
The in-bed power setup in the 2025 Ford Ranger turns the back of your truck into a usable power station. You get built-in outlets that can handle small tools, chargers, or other devices. So if you’re working outside or away from buildings, you can still plug things in. The outlets are easy to reach and are placed right inside the bed. You don’t have to run cords through the cab or carry extra gear. If you’ve got a tool that needs charging or a small saw to power, just plug it into the back of the truck. It’s ready when you are. This feature is useful for jobs where power isn’t always available. If you’re cutting boards, charging batteries, or using lights at a site, you don’t have to bring a separate generator. The truck is already set up for that.
