Ford Ranger Performance Overview
Ford’s midsize pickup line spans 1983 to 2024 in this dataset, with 29 verified tests (28 production, 1 modified) covering nine model years. Early Rangers were defined by modest output, beginning with the 73-hp 1983 XLS Regular Cab at 14.8 seconds to 60 mph. The 2nd Gen (1993–1997) brought a clear step forward as the 160-hp 4.0L OHV Cologne V6 cut that to 8.4 seconds in the 1993 XLT Regular Cab.
During the 3rd Gen (1998–2012), the Ranger’s gasoline lineup broadened from naturally aspirated V6s to a supercharged special, and performance tightened further. The 2001 Edge Plus SuperCab reached 0-60 in 8.1 seconds, while the 2002 XLT SLP Thunderbolt SuperCab dropped to 6.5 seconds, showing the platform’s quickest pace before the model’s hiatus. When the 4th Gen returned for 2019, turbocharged EcoBoost power reset the baseline: the 2019 XL STX SuperCab (6' Bed) ran 0-60 in 6.0 seconds.
Today’s Ranger remains exclusively gasoline-powered in the available test data, now ranging from 270-hp turbo four-cylinder trims to the 405-hp twin-turbo Raptor. The current benchmark is the 2024 Raptor SuperCrew at 5.3 seconds to 60 mph and a 14.1-second quarter-mile.

How we verify Ford Ranger performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Ford Ranger trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
