What’s new for Ford Ranger in 2021? In 2021 Ford Ranger basically remains mostly unchanged, there is more color choices, plus special options/off road packages. If you’re only going for out right value and performance. Then the base model XL 4 × 4 Super Cab is for you. It gives you the power plus good ride quality of the other Ford Ranger models. Also because of its smaller Super Cab, and lower level of standard equipment. It does not weigh as much as the XLT 4 × 4 option models and Lariat trims models. This will result in more get up and go and possibly little better road manners.
