2026 Ford Ranger

The Ford Ranger is a capable, smartly sized pickup with a relatively comfortable ride, good maneuverability and several unique available features, but even midline models get pricey quickly.

Here’s a look at the best pickup trucks for getting more done with less fuel — be it gasoline, diesel or electricity — sorted by truck size.

Ford’s latest recall affects some 179,700 examples of its Ranger pickup truck and Bronco SUV and involves an issue with the front seats.

More than 140,200 Ford Ranger pickup trucks are affected in a new recall by wiring harnesses that can result in an electrical short and fire.

Ford is recalling more than 4.3 million Ford and Lincoln vehicles over an issue with the trailer lighting and brakes.

For our Best Pickup Truck award, our watchwords are power, capability and value.

There are no significant changes to the Ranger for 2026, but there’s still plenty of variety within the lineup.
