Ranger Essentials: Power and Performance
The 2026 Ford Ranger Base delivers a balanced combination of power and efficiency, engineered to handle both daily tasks and weekend adventures in the Oklahoma hinterlands.

Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, the powertrain provides smooth gear transitions that contribute to an engaging yet comfortable driving experience. The drivetrain comes standard as rear-wheel drive, with an optional four-wheel-drive system for enhanced traction during tougher conditions or off-road excursions.
