2022 Ford Ranger XLT

The 2022 Ford Ranger XLT Crew Cab 4WD, finished in Shadow Black with Ebony Cloth interior, is designed to meet the needs of those seeking a practical and adaptable midsize pickup. Highlighted by its EcoBoost 2.3L I4 turbocharged engine, 10-speed automatic transmission, and advanced safety technologies, this Ranger balances everyday driving convenience with robust towing and off-road capability.Drivers who need a flexible vehicle for both work and personal use will appreciate how the Ranger XLT blends passenger comfort with utilitarian features. The Crew Cab configuration offers spacious rear seating for families or colleagues, while the 4WD system and trailer tow package make it ideal for those who regularly haul gear or tow trailers.Delivering a balanced driving experience, the EcoBoost 2.3L I4 engine provides notable low-end torque and responsive acceleration, making highway merging and towing tasks less stressful. The 10-speed automatic transmission contributes to smoother gear changes and helps optimize fuel economy, which typically falls in the low-to-mid 20s mpg depending on driving conditions. Four-wheel drive and a 3.73 axle ratio enhance traction on slippery or rough terrain.Safety is a core focus in the 2022 Ranger XLT, offering features designed to mitigate risk and support driver awareness. Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keep Assist help prevent unintended lane drift by actively alerting and gently steering the vehicle back when needed. Blind Spot Monitoring increases visibility where mirrors cannot, particularly beneficial when towing or changing lanes.The Ranger XLT includes the Equipment Group 301A Mid and the Sport Appearance Package, which together enhance both function and style. Equipment Group 301A Mid adds dual-zone automatic climate control and premium cloth seating, improving comfort for both driver and passengers during long trips or daily commutes. The Sport Appearance Package features 17-inch Magnetic Painted Aluminum wheels, body-color bumpers, and distinctive sport decals, offering a more assertive look.Compared to the Toyota Tacoma and Chevrolet Colorado, the Ford Ranger XLT provides a more refined turbocharged torque delivery and a 10-speed automatic transmission, which results in smoother driving and more responsive towing. The Tacoma typically uses a naturally aspirated V6 and a six-speed transmission, which can feel less responsive under load.Trim differences within the Ranger lineup revolve around feature content, with the XLT offering more advanced safety tech and comfort upgrades compared to the base XL, while stopping short of the Lariat's full leather and premium options. Lane Keep Assist and Blind Spot Monitoring provide active interventions to help prevent collisions—Lane Keep gently corrects steering if you drift, while Blind Spot alerts to unseen vehicles.For additional information on this 2022 Ford Ranger XLT Crew Cab 4WD or to schedule a test drive, contact Lynch Ford Chevrolet at 319-895-8500.
